Fresh talent anyone? - Apr 01, 2009 7:39AM - By: Chad Halvorson

anyone...

I recently attended a couple portfolios shows here in Minneapolis. Maybe my expectations are too high or I'm spoiled with the awesome people we've recruited thus far.

The talent market for interactive and graphic designers is extremely saturated. However, that doesn't mean it's easy for an employer to recruit talent. The thing is—weeding through the subpar prospects make finding the really good people like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack.

Case in point. Make sure your stuff is top notch—the problem with this is everyone thinks their stuff is top notch. Thus, just make sure your best stuff is available online. With the market as saturated as it is, having your best stuff online is your best bet for employers to see your potential and have you in for an interview.
