Getting an internship is one of the best ways to prepare for a job within Interdisciplinary studies. Take courses such as Marketing, Graphic design and Web design. Major tech companies offer free marketing certifications that can enhance a portfolio. If there is not a portfolio already started then create one. To add to the skill work it is smart to create marketing campaigns from scratch. To familiarize yourself, reach out to professionals that work in your field. 

 My response to the statement

I already knew that a portfolio would need to be present in order to be successful in my career field. Most commonly, internships were a big thing that was recommended because most companies want one to have experience with other agencies before working with them. There needs to be experience present. The communication and presentation skills need to be always be perfected when going into this kind of business. 

I learned that it would be interesting to do my own advertising campaigns in real life to add to my portfolio. I did not think of that originally. I have not looked into social media management because I thought that I would know so much already. I did not know about websites such as Asana, Trello, or Monday.com, so those will be very helpful to me in the future.

What I need to do is create more advertising campaigns for my personal brand. Once I add that I can then have more depth in my portfolio. I am already familiar with deadlines from school but on a creative level I want to learn to become accustomed to creative deadlines. 

I am feeling very confident. I do want to continue making my portfolio stronger and still want to add way more graphic design projects as well. I need my portfolio to truly showcase who I am as an artist as well as my strengths. That is going to be a personal goal of mine to add more campaigns and more artwork.
