Wednesday, May 6 • 10:15 – 11:00am

Have you reached an inflection point in your career? Not sure how to get to the next step — or even what the next step will be? In this session, The Creative Group’s executive director Diane Domeyer will provide an overview of the hiring landscape and salary trends for creative professionals. You’ll hear about the most in-demand positions and skills that employers are willing to pay a premium for — and learn how you can target your own skillset to those opportunities. She’ll also offer exercises to help you actively identify new career directions, keep your digital skills relevant to employers, overcome job-hunting obstacles and, ultimately, forge a fulfilling professional path.

3 Main Take-Aways:

  1. The skills and experiences that are most in demand by employers, and how you can develop them
  2. How to identify your best career options and then go after them
  3. Ways to chart a productive career path in design, whatever creative discipline you pursue
