    I am currently in my junior year of study in Chicago - and would like to start working commercially. My instructors say my outlook is promising and that I have a lot of potential, but I'm not sure how I should go about putting myself out there.

    I've been hunting on craigslist, but there are hardly any junior positions open in Chicago...

    Start with a resume and portfolio. Anything we can see?

    Hey, I am in Chicago as well. There are plenty of junior positions out there but they are going to want to hire someone full-time. Your best bet is to create a portfolio website and start putting yourself out there to friends/family. Volunteer to do some small projects for free for your friends if you need pieces to put on your site.

    I'm from Chicago as well. Let me us see your portfolio as onecreative said. I might have some work for you to start out.

    Lauraroeder.com have you ever worked on book publishing. I'm working on a project and might need some one. I don't spend to much time on print/publishing design.

    Thanks
