Are you someone that feels stuck in the job-hunting process? Or maybe you're someone who hasn't started looking for jobs yet but you feel like your resume isn't strong enough. Whether you’re just starting out in the creative field or you have a vast array of experience, you won't want to miss this!

Join us Saturday, April 23, 2022 for a virtual panel event and learn from a group of established professionals about how to rethink and refine your approach to getting hired in the creative industry. Get insight on the dos and don’ts of resumes, portfolios, and interviews as well as the other things to keep in mind that Google doesn't tell you about that could potentially set you apart from the crowd! This is a great opportunity to get different perspectives from a variety of creative individuals, hear about unique tips and tricks, and get your questions answered by some of the top creative professionals in Baltimore and the DMV.

Our panel of creative industry experts will be talking about their own experiences with their own career journeys, hiring creatives, and what they hope to see in candidates as they go through the hiring process. This is an event that you definitely don't want to miss, so mark your calendars!
