Hey folks, welcome back to jobhuntblog.
Today's episode: "The Portfolio, 8 and a half by 11 inches of DOOOOOM!!!"
Do: Try to create a portfolio that is a portfolio piece in itself.
Don't: Hand in a portfolio with still-wet Super 77 Spraymount on it and then try to act clever by saying, "Careful, I think that's still a bit tacky, by a couple of definitions." to someone who clearly doesn't get it.
