I should've shared this sooner, I was recently interviewed on CompKarma, an awesome blog all about helping newbies break into advertising. I hope you all find the interview informative yet funny. Brian Cheung, founder of CompKarma, was absolutely great chatting with. I drew him a portrait as thanks, which you can find on the interview's page. I recommend checking out the rest of their site, there's a ton of useful information on there written by those working in the ad industry. Their posts are all simple, easy to read, and filled with humor. There's even an article that compares portfolio sites to ninja turtles.
