Typically a first job interview feels more like an interrogation than an employment evaluation. Portfolio Night, designed by Ignacio Oreamuno and the creative crew at IHAVEANIDEA “breaks down the wall between hopefuls and potential employers”. A comfortable locale hosts creative juniors and their aspiring portfolios.
Food and drink are served and candidates have the chance to sit face-to-face with Ad agency big-wigs. Happening simultaneously in major design cities around the world, the Barcelona event takes place at creative ad/design school Complot. The people at Portfolio Night stress books should be in order before showing up to get optimum results. Their website’s FAQ section offers tips on getting portfolios into top form, and for this edition work can also be shown on laptops.
