AdInk has decided to subsidize a bus to KC Ad Club's Career Day. This means that even though the shuttle is full, they will pay for any extra seats not filled on a larger bus. This is to ensure that everyone who wants to go to this event can go!
See this page for information about how to get a seat on the bus.

Portfolio Review & Career Counseling Info
Portfolio Review & Career Coaching
The KC Ad Club is offering a Portfolio Review and Career Counseling after the sessions, from 3:45-5:00 p.m.
Portfolio reviews are for creative portfolios only. This means art-focused for designers. This can be digital or print, but if it's digital, bring your own computer, and don't rely on electricity or internet connections.
The Career Coaching session is intended for those who are beginning to look for a job or internship. You must have a resume together, and you should be in a position to get some assistance on some specific jobs/careers you are considering. (This is also a great opportunity for those who already have graduated and are looking for a job in Kansas City!)
If you request a portfolio review or career coaching, and are taking the bus, please request an early session, and try to conclude the review as soon as possible so that the bus can depart by 4:15.

What do I wear? (And other details...)
Important Career Day details, as suggested from the KC Ad Club:
- Dress is business attire.
- The Portfolio Review session is optional and conducted at the end of the day. If interested, students should bring their portfolios with them, though they may choose to leave them in their vehicles so they do not have to carry them around all day.
- A light breakfast and lunch will be served.
- This is not a job fair so it is not necessary that you have resumes on hand. However, you may have opportunities to visit with professionals so should be prepared and respectful of their time.
-- Many people do bring resumes and tactfully leave them with professionals, ensuring that professionals know there is no obligation to interview.
