While I remain impartial , this is the problem with liberals I can not fathom how it costs $ 2 million to count votes . This is a microcosm of liberals worldwide spending their constituents money with reckless abandon . Let me guess a top notch consultingaccounting firm will be hired to do the recount , charge an exorbitant amount , wealthy partners will reap the benefits , and the people counting will earn $ 6 . 50 hour . Before this of course , one will need to be paid to study whether a recount is justified or not . Just give it up , its over . This is wasting everyone ' s time and money . <| sep |> I ' m a Multimedia Designer at a small creative agency . Basically I do a lot of stuff , anything from brand design to website design to video editing and motion graphics . I got my job through LinkedIn . The founder of our company was looking around for local designers and saw some of my work on there . He liked it , I interviewed , and I got the job . I was the first designer he hired . I ' ve been here a little over two years now , and we ' re up to 9 people now . I was very fortunate that I was offered a full time position right as I was graduating school without having to actively search for work . I realize that my situation is an anomaly . As far as opportunities go , a good portfolio is the most important thing you can have . I ' m involved in hiring decisions at my company now and a strong portfolio is more important than your grades by a long shot . Show your work , explain it , defend it , tell me why you ' re proud of it . Another opportunity is to possess people skills and a sense of professionalism . Don ' t be late for your interview , write emails with proper grammar and punctuation , be polite , etc . you ' d be surprised how often we ' ve dealt with unprofessional potential employees whose attitudes or behaviors have cost them their job offers . The threat you ' ll be facing is mainly just sheer competition . It can be tough to differentiate yourself from the crowd of other designers looking for work . Like I said though , just be genuine , have a strong portfolio , communicate clearly , and don ' t be an idiot . It helps to be willing to relocate as well . Good luck !
