Ronit,

I have a degree in Graphic Design, but I am from Texas. I don't know if my

area compares to NJ as far as jobs go. Here in Amarillo, and Dallas/Fort

Worth, the job market is tight. But, if she has a strong portfolio, she

shouldn't

have any trouble getting an interview.

The problem with trying to get an interview is to make oneself stand out

amongst the crowd, very hard to do. Even the most talented designers have to

market their skills effectively to even get their foot in the door. Does her

college not have some sort of placement service?

If she has the time, and the money to do it, she could also make the rounds to

the types of businesses she is interested in working for and simply show her

portfolio, even if they aren't hiring. Getting a face to face meeting is

sometimes

the best way to make someone remember you when they do have a job

opening.

Portfolio, strong resume with cover letter, and even web promotion of portfolio

pieces: these are tools I have seen many designers use to market themselves.

Though, I can't say I have need of that as I work in a much smaller market than

NYC or Philly and have gotten both jobs that I applied for.

I wish her luck though,

Ronit,

My sister is a Graphic Artist. My Mom and Dad owned a printing

business until shortly after my Dad died. My sister started doing logos

and designes for various printers when she first started out and

eventually owned her own business. There are any number of places that

could use her services. Has she considered free lancing until she finds

a job? How does her portfolio look? Has she considered volunteering to

get a little extra experience? Does she have a business card she can

hand out when she meets new people (good old networking technique)?

I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and it's a tough market out

there. A lot of what has to happen is selling yourself better then

anyone else. She may also want to consider doing temporary work or a

part time job until she can find something. For some strange reason, it

is always easier to find a job when you have a job.
