From the very basics of find­ing out where your ideal team-mates spend their time, really wow­ing with your back­ground, to under­stand­ing what recruiters find when they Google you– this infor­ma­tion will help you craft your per­fect can­di­date pitch. You’ll get real time feed­back on your resume, ele­va­tor pitch, and tips for what to expect on the day of your inter­view. More info.
  • Portfolio Do’s and Don’ts: In this work­shop, we will dis­cuss what to leave in and what to leave out of a port­fo­lio, as well as how to go above and beyond what you do in your art class to make your port­fo­lio the best col­leges will see! More info.

Ben Sherman Shirt Bar Promotion

To pro­mote their stores’ ‘Shirt Bars,” the cre­ative team at Ben Sherman came up with a cre­ative solu­tion: a paper origami folded shirt col­lar. Underneath the col­lar fold a prize, as well as details describ­ing how to claim it, was revealed. The pro­mo­tional items were given out at busy hot spots around London, and the idea has also been used in NYC and as far off as Singapore.
