btw... the job is a healthy mix of Print, Web, and Braodcast.
I have experience in all these fields, but i've been doing the print thing so much lately i'm going to have to scramble to dig up some solid web stuff.

another tactic is to win them over with your abundant knowledge of current events and inform them that you think that Corbin chick from American Idol is "Effin-hot!".

what is a good portfolio size?
do you prefer the folio to be bound, or removeable?

"i've never really interviewed for a job where i actually admired the company already..."
same thing when i interviewed at my current gig.. they were/are my fav shop in the city.. and i definitely told them that.
just be confident and show your interest, and you'll have no problem at all.
and be sure to let us know how it goes.
good luck

I've always felt that people preferred having removable pieces in the portfolio because the hands-on approach seems to appeal more on a subconscious level. Also if it's something, like a brochure, that will be handled, they would like to see it and interact with it as such.
As for size, nothing too large (like the largest portfolio you can find). Something that is managable for you to look sharp when you're there (instead of struggling with trying to get through the doorway) and something that is easy for them to handle if you don't have removable pieces. Mine is like a 16" x 22" or something.

thanks mayo.
is your folio in a case then?
for removeable pieces... do you typically mount them? if so, what material do you prefer.
- Gorbie0
nick...
i'm sure you're right. it's almost strange to have the feeling that i don't have to bullshit.
feels..... good?
- nick0
absolutely man... there's nothing quite like being really happy at your job... great feeling.
:)

Mine's a pleather (maybe even real, i don't remember, i got it a few years ago) thing with a handle. Soft shell that zips all the way around and a pocket on the insed for resumes.
The pages are plastic sleeves. I mount single-sheet pieces, but have a few "pick me up" pieces in plastic envelopes similar to the sleeves.
Our studio portfolios are brushed steel brief cases. Pockets of two of our colors are mounted on black art board and the pieces are inserted. Each board is loose which allows you or the interviewer to spread all your stuff out and look at things as a whole (to either see your style/variety/etc).
The main thing i would do different on my portfolio is using something a little firmer to mount single sheet stuff on so that it doesn't bend too easily and handles well when being shifted this way or that to get glare off.
