graphicpush

Through the past year, my intense hiring schedule has slowly revealed an interesting pattern in how I evaluate candidates. Beyond resumes and interview skills, I find myself looking for three key qualities that define a successful member of the team.

In a return without much brilliance, graphicpush is back online with a fresh design, some new ideas, and a bag of excuses. More is coming, so stay tuned.

Textpattern Solutions is here, and it looks, smells and feels great. The big yellow book rocks over 500 pages of solid TXP love, and is written for the total web newb, the right-brained designer, the jedi master developer and everyone in between.

After three years of writing, graphicpush is going on a small holiday. There needs to be time to rejuvenate, redesign, realign and relaunch.

Now in the envious position of hiring two more designers for my team, I am inundated with resumes, portfolios, cold calls and blind inquiries from the rank and file of unemployed graphic artists. Collecting this material has offered me some insight into the whole job seeking process, and I wanted to share some resume and portfolio tips with you.
