portfolio...portfolio.....portfolio. The end. Done. ok a bit more in depth :P Once you have reached a professional level of output, things tend to fall in place. Im not saying they will fall in your lap, but with some concentrated effort, outreach and a well tailored portfolio, doors will open. You need to be confident in…
Also you are more likely to break into the industry through your connections and networking than your portfolio, so important to strike a balance between the two. Work of quality certainly gains attention (depending on audience and trends), but the industry as a business has a lot of other factors that affect whether that…
There seems to be a pretty big disparity between the two candidates (their portfolio at the time of hiring quanity as well as quality of work), was the first one hired as a junior? Personally in my opinion, while there is a benchmark of sorts, its the positions that are rare to find. A lot of hiring in this industry is…
Take off the background image (the squares) of f your Resume, it looks a little gross, like an IT consultancy idea of 'cool design'.

If you don't know what a hosts file is your better off looking someplace else for your file sharing needs because you'll probably end up screwing up your…
I actually think your portfolio is pretty good, could use a few more tweaks and definitely more breakdown showing your process. I didn't quite see your character work, so you could pm me that if you like. The general consensus you'll get on this site here is your portfolio is the single most important thing in getting a…
I am currently working in 3rd party QA since it gives me time to do freelance work on the side. In between that I fit portfolio work. I have been approached by AAA companies in Montreal for interviews, which likely meant that there was something about the portfolio they liked. The interviews also go well. The issue I face…
