    Hey Stephanie,

    I am a designer...I noticed your posts and your eagerness to find a job. I do not know how old you are but seeing as how your portfolio is a bit all over the place. I realize that you may not be in the industry that long. Let me offer you some advice from a fellow young designer.

    There are a lot of good things to learn on this board from the older folk who I learned from.

    1) Have your portfolio in one place
    2) Don't skimp on presentation - "you are a designer"
    3) If you are going to use a low budget or no cost host such as flickr you may be better off using typepad or a blogger.
    4) Even though you are young you should take pride in your work. You should have posted a portfolio crit and say this is temporary hosting until I finish my portfolio. Could anyone give me crit on my work? I am also looking for a job if anyone knows of any f/t or internships.....

    This way your portfolio wouldnt come off as lazy and people would see that you are making moves in the right direction.
