Hi Designers!!! Happy Friday! How do you organize your portfolio? Do you organize it by completed projects/campaigns that show the full process and deliverables? Or, do you categorize it by the type of design, ie: “Digital Design” “Print Design” “Social Media”? Also, do you customize the organization when applying for certain positions?

Any recommendations for patent prosecution practice management software for a small firm? Currently not using anything and want to be able to better manage and monitor associates.

Do you all sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the self care tips you see online. Gua sha, sleeping mask, satin pillowcase, this body wash, that scrub, dermaplaning. I don’t know what I should do vs. what not. 😰 and I feel like if I don’t do it, I’m not taking care of myself and not going to look good a few years later. 😓

Looking to work as a Tech/IT Risk Consultant in San Francisco. Does anyone know of any good recruiters I can get in touch with? Thanks!

Any good book recommendations?

I HATE the term ‘snackable content’. It just makes me angry! My content should be a damn steak dinner.

Recommendations for golf lessons? City or suburbs are fine

Anyone up for a virtual summer time meal this weekend?

Waiting for God of War and for Bungie to grab Halo back from 343 Industries since Destiny has always been trash.
. . .S/O to Horizon Zero Dawn though.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Any openly T fish here? Or non binary fish that have undergone FTM top surgery?

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

Hi fishes,

Got an offer from Amazon for Data Engineer-2

Yoe-2

Base - 20LPA
Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!

Cheers

As a liberal arts student, I’ve been piecing together how to create a killer portfolio but am at a point where I need some personal feedback. Would anyone be willing to look my portfolio over and provide advice on how to improve it? Thank you!

Too chicken to post my book here- anyone know of good outlets to use for book reviews?

Can you put spec work in your book?

How often is everyone updating their portfolio? Should I be updating mine every few months or would be okay to go longer?

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

Anyone have experience setting up more in-depth analytics for portfolio websites? Any ways to get more information about who is looking at my book? I'm on squarespace. Cheers!

Trying to refresh my portfolio and thinking about switching to a different platform, what are my fellow copywriters’ fave sites to use?? I’m currently using wix since it’s free, but it’s given me many headaches trying to get it how I want my portfolio to look. I’m also looking into Copyfolio as well.

What do you think is the best site to make your book on as a copywriter?

Is knolling as the front page too derivative?

Just finished Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Superb. Gonna start Tree of Smoke next.

Hi there—have an interview this Friday and it’s been a while since I’ve had one in person. What’s standard these days? Is it expected to have a trimmed down deck with your work or is it okay to walk through your site? Thanks in advance!
