After earning your graphic design degree and building a strong portfolio, you’ll be ready to start applying for jobs. First, you’ll need a website, blog or various social media profiles to help brand yourself and showcase your skills to potential clients. Then you can use the internet to look for graphic arts job opportunities or even start out on your own with freelance work. Work the social network you built up during school to find out about hot new leads. Keep applying for any positions you’re qualified for until you find one that you love. Lastly, keep learning and pay it forward. It won’t be long before you might be supervising an intern of your own!
