Hi everyone! #PortfolioDay is happening this Tuesday, July 9th! While we are not an official partner of the event, we would love to share some tips for preparing your profile on Cara, given that we have some tools to facilitate those who are job-seeking and artist-hiring! What is #PortfolioDay? From the official website: #PortfolioDay is a creative job fair of sorts that takes place on social media. Creatives who are looking for work will make a post with examples of their work using the hashtag in hopes of reaching clients and connecting with other professionals in the community. Clients in turn use the tag to find artists to hire! Tips for Sharing on CaraThere is always a lot of excitement around #PortfolioDay, and we have noticed that often times, people are not aware of its origins and that its a tag for artists seeking work. For better clarity on Cara, we want to help make it easy to identify and find artists who are actively looking for work. For artists, we encourage the following:Include both #PortfolioDay and #OpenToWork in your post On your Profile, update the Open to Work status on your About pageFor art directors, recruiters, and clients, we encourage you to check out Cara on desktop:Our website has more robust features for portfolios and search currently You can see portfolio albums on profiles You can use in-depth search, like the Open to Work and category filters We ask that everyone be considerate of others, and only use the hashtags relevant to you.
