			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Job hunting is a time-intensive and tiring task, especially in tough  economic times. There are a number of online resources for job seekers  that help make the job hunt a little bit easier. If you are trying to  find a web designer job, check out the sites below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.indeed.com/">Indeed.com</a>.  Indeed pulls job listings from a variety of different sites, such as  Monster, LinkedIn and Careerbuilder. Simply type in the job title you  are looking for and the city and state to find job postings in your  area. The site adds over 100,000 new jobs per day and saves you the time  of hunting around dozens of different websites. Be sure to set up a  daily job alert so that you can get new postings emailed to you.</p>
<p>SimplyHired.com. Simply Hired works exactly like Indeed.com. The site  acts as an aggregator for the web’s top job posting sites. Because of  the high number of job postings in many categories, it is helpful to use  both Indeed and Simply Hired. By utilizing both sites, you can ensure  that you see all relevant job postings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.krop.com/">Krop.com</a>.  Krop is one of the best-known websites for design-specific job  listings. Many full-time jobs are posted on the site, including listings  for companies such as Digitas and AOL. Many design agencies and studios  list jobs exclusively on Krop.</p>
<p>Freshwebjob.com. This site  provides a listing of full and part-time web design jobs. Most of the  jobs focus on pure web design, although some require graphic design as  well. The site includes an RSS feed so that you can find out about new  jobs as soon as they are posted.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designrelated.com/">Designrelated.com</a>.  Design:related has a job board that includes some great listings for  web designers and other graphic artists. Most of the postings on this  site come from interactive media companies and small websites rather  than from major companies, although companies such as Cisco and Penguin  Group USA have used the board to find designers.</p>
<p>Coroflot.com.  Coroflot is a job website targeted specifically at web designers. The  site allows you to upload a portfolio and to view over 700 active job  postings. Since over 80,000 designers have portfolios on the site, you  will have to be creative to stand out from the crowd. The site features a  RSS feed that alerts users of new job postings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.freelanceswitch.com/">Freelanceswitch.com</a>.  Freelance Switch is a site for all types of freelancers. Web designers  can find a variety of freelance opportunities on the site. The postings  are generally from individuals or very small websites looking for some  basic web design or graphics help.</p>
<p>Behance.net. Behance  features job listings for creative artists and freelancers. Although you  will have to weed through the postings to find the ones that are most  relevant to you, there are some great jobs available here. Major  companies such as MTV, Target and Mashable use Behance to post job  listings, so it is worth a look.</p>
<p>Whether you are looking for a  full-time job or freelance work, the suggestions above provide excellent  resources to all job-seeking web design professionals.</p>

<p>Are you looking for a new Graphic Design job? Well, recent surveys have shown that more than half of employers need people to fill positions in their creative department, and this is good news, because it means there are graphic designer jobs out there. But it also means you will need to fiercely compete for these jobs. Does that mean you need to do everything you can to draw a potential employers attention? The answer to that question is both, yes, and no.<span id="more-213"></span></p>
<p>We have all seen the news, where a person did some wild crazy thing to attract an employer’s attention, and although he did get attention, it may not have been the right type of attention. You know what Im talking about, where a potential employee posted his information on a billboard, or sent hockey tickets in with his resume. These type of attention getting gimmicks may do you more harm than good. The following graphic designer job hunting tips will help you land that great job you want.<br />
<strong><br />
1. The Importance of your Portfolio</strong></p>
<ul style="display:none"></ul>
<p><strong> </strong> <strong style="display:none"></strong><br />
Most employers truly want to see really good work. They want to see work that a potential candidate has done, and work which shows he, or she, is capable of getting the job done. So one of the things you really need to work on is your portfolio. You want to demonstrate your versatility, and your creativity through your portfolio. This is probably the most important graphic designer hunting tip we can give you, and one you really need to spend a great deal of time working on.<br />
<strong><br />
2. Get Your Resume Ready</strong></p>
<ul style="display:none"></ul>
<p>Your portfolio is the most important part of your presentation, but you also need to remember to get your resume in shape. When you are writing this resume, think about how you have made a difference with other employers. List examples; did you help on a company’s website and what improvements did it do for the company?<br />
<strong><br />
3. Get Information on Potential Employers</strong><br />
You want to research companies you are thinking of working for before you go on your interview. The more you know about the company the better you will be able to present yourself.<br />
<strong><br />
4. Point Out Your Strengths</strong><br />
When you are interviewing make sure you offer specific examples that show off your strengths.</p>
<p><strong>5. Join Multimedia and Professional Conferences <em style="display:none"></em> </strong><br />
You can use these meetings to find out about new trends and ideas but you also want to use these opportunities to network and find new employment opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>6. Continue Your Education</strong><br />
As a designer one of the most important Graphic Designer Job Hunting Tips we can give you is to continue learning. Get new skills by reading magazines or enrolling in continuing education classes. You want to network here with other students and with faculty members too.</p>
<p>The above graphic designer job hunting tips will help you get a job now, and in the future. This is a field that requires that your skills always be updated and that your portfolio and resume always be in tip top condition.</p>
