So here's my dilemma/issue: I graduated last year from a school in Ohio with a degree in Visual Communications, where they "taught" us a variety of different avenues to creating an ad, ie Print, Web, Video, etc., but couldn't find a job at all (doesn't help that Ohio has a bad job market), and so I ended up in retail. Fast forward 8 months and I moved down to Raleigh, NC with my retail job, since the job market is better down here, and I'm starting to search for a marketing/advertising job that has something to do with design (Print layout, video editing, photography, etc.) Now I had to go through 3 co-ops to get my degree, and only 2 of them I felt were worth anything, but one of them was on campus. Other than that, and my classwork, I don't have much portfolio work that was worth showing/not from a class project, which is frustrating. I've got a portfolio site that I created from scratch in Flash that I'm working on updating as we speak. I'm teaching myself more and more about Flash and HTML/CSS as I go, but I don't have a lot of portfolio work that isn't from school. Is that going to hurt me in this job search and what can I do to improve my options/chances of getting a job that I actually want? Keeping in mind I know absolutely nobody down in Raleigh yet, so networking is proving a little difficult. Any suggestions/tips would be great.
