With services like Behance, Squarespace, Cargo Collective, and Dunked it’s never been easier for designers to make a portfolio. Screenshots of apps and web pages do not a good portfolio make. Justin Dickinson, design hiring manager for Vimeo, has reviewed hundreds of portfolios and finds most of them lacking. Michael Yap helped students in SVA’s Interaction Design prepare for the job search after graduation. Together they'll discuss the discrepancies between what designers present and what hiring mangers are looking for. Necessary attendance if you ever want to get a job again.
