As the semester winds down and we may never have the pleasure of each others company on a weekly bases again, I suggest you to socially network online with me. Some of you already have joined me on LinkedIn or Twitter, but there is great benefit to networking on these things and you should be a part of the madness. Besides, on sites like LinkedIn, you get to control what people find about you on the magical interwebs. (Make sure you keep your Facebook or Myspace on private so no pictures of you beer bonging Natty Light last weekend show up when the hiring manager searches for you). You can also make a free profile & portfolio on Coroflot that can be linked to from your LinkedIn profile. You can also write & receive references on LinkedIn, which could really help in your job search (once people start hiring again).

You should also join your local AIGA chapter. I have met great contacts and have landed some great freelance work via AIGA & the events they sponsor. Almost every design firm & agency hires people by recommendation or by already knowing you, get out there and make yourself known. You will at least know me if you go to the Baltimore events.

keep me in the loop on the next AIGA event...I'm making every effort to be there.
Dude, join their mailing list or visit the website or, join AIGA.
I'd love to keep in touch with everyone too... (linked in: andrewbrezinski) I'm the worst at keeping up with social networks, but I'm a little better at emails (abrezinski@coppin.edu or drestarr@gmail.com)
