I'm a fucking pain machine and if you even touch my fucking car I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU.
Can people post their CV/resumes or portfolio sites? I need to start working on my serious one and I'd like to see how people lay them out.

I'm a fucking pain machine and if you even touch my fucking car I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU.
I graduated in 2010 and freelanced a bunch of places, took an amazing internship I loved for poor pay, took a lot of mediocre jobs for poor pay and temped at my current place til I got a contract January 2013, been here a total of a year.

I have a BFA in Industrial Design and have been knocking on doors locally for a while.

My current job doesn't have room for growth and is below $ industry average by a bit so I am hunting for a new place. Jobs are just scarce in the Midwest, although a lot of research and directing jobs are opening in design fields that I am applying for as I have some experience in research.

What track do I get onto for some of the design management positions? There have been 3-4 really intriguing positions I've applied to lately that basically track emerging technologies, create corporate libraries of R&D that employees can rely on, explore directions companies can take vis a vis manufacturing/materials etc. That sounds fascinating to me. I met a guy who was the equivalent for one of the biggest US plastics manufacturers and I just wanted the guys job immediately. We exchanged cards and I may just go and ask on LinkedIn if they're hiring or looking, now that I think about it, but our school's program for introducing you to the real world post-graduate was terrible, and a number of people had their head in the sand with regard to current job market and what options are even out there.

I hate to be negative but it was a rather jarring experience.

There was a super snotty guy who used to post here who had a gamma calibration strip on the homepage of his portfolio.

I'm surprised I haven't heard of this before but that's hilarious
