“Please limit your portfolio to 5mb”
Took me all morning, and I had to throw out 3 of 5 projects and cut down the other 2. And... the images are all 75 dpi now.
I don’t mind limits, 15mb would be completely reasonable, 10mb easily doable, but 5mb? I have single images that are bigger than that!
Have a very nice 911 for your time.

I was asked to do research on a project I don’t have access too and to let them know what I need assistance with. I mentioned I don’t have access to the files. They said that was fine...
So I did nothing.
This outta be fun later.

Is this a photography portfolio? You'd figure for something like that they'd give you a more generous limit.

Architecture portfolio, so very very image/graphic heavy, and I’m a minimalist.

I probably don’t want to work for them.

It’s not gone great so far, I’m getting nervous.

It’s all online too. However, sending live links in emails seems to set off spam filters, some of my first round weren’t received and I had to re-send.

its a bitch but it could be so much worse. at least these days there is hiring occurring. when i was calling around every person said, no, we’re not hiring, we just laid off 10 people. look into some small places. you get to do more than you would in a larger office.

Ugh! It’s normally the other way around, and attachments send them to spam.
What a PITA.

There’s nothing like calling to follow up and the HR person saying “I don’t see your email”, it’s a great first impression.

I know, right? Hey, check out these quality drawings. They've gone through 4 programs since CAD, but sure, I'll turn them in to crispy crunch.

The drawings were surprisingly okay, the photos... straight up Super Nintendo.
