Two upcoming (and free) events worth noting are taking place on Tuesday, September 16, and then the next night on Wednesday, September 17. On Tuesday, you'll hear from Hornall Anderson's Andrew Wicklund as he takes you through the good, bad, and ugly of design portfolios, resumes, and interviews. If you've ever wanted to land a job at a top design firm, here's a chance to get an inside look at what does and doesn't move their meter. The next night -- Wednesday 9/17 -- you'll get another look at job-hunting, but this time from the perspective of a large, successful, highly creative web design firm. That's when David Buckley from ZAAZ will share info on what sort of portfolio and self-promo web site is needed to get the attention of the hiring gods at places like ZAAZ. Both talks are from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the SVC Gallery. As we said, there's no charge to attend, but you must pre-register to reserve your space.
	We realize that new web sites aren't normally a cause for much hoopla, but after a few too many years of exemplary service, we'll be retiring this very site you're visiting now in early September. Our new site will add some fairly useful new features to make signing up for classes easier. First, you'll be able to read a sentence or two of each course description right on the schedule page for quick browsing. We're also adding a reminder feature so you can request a little email tap on the shoulder before a class gets underway. The biggest change, however, is that we're launching a certificate program for students who want a stamp of professional approval on their portfolios. You'll read all about it when the site launches. Stay tuned.
