If you’re looking for a design job right out of school, then AIGA Portfolio Day is your best chance to schmooze with local designers who might be hiring.
Even if you’re not looking for a job, it’s the best way to get useful feedback on your portfolio—even if the reviewers make you cry. Just remember, you are more than your portfolio.
Here are the 11 12 AIGA chapters hosting portfolio days this year. If you live close to any of these cities, don’t hesitate to register and show off your work. The fee is about $10–$35 depending on whether or not you’re a student AIGA member.

i saw someone crying today. she was on the phone talking to someone about her first portfolio review. i dont think it went well. i kinda wanted to see her work to see why she was so upset. i dont think it would have been a good time to approach her. i was lucky my first review went well and i ended up getting a business card. some other students, i believe, were offered internships today.
