That's much better Delano!! I think that may actually help you a lot with getting people to view the work you have created.

Hi Delano, Were you meaning to attach your portfolio to your post originally? When I clicked on that link it only looked like a digital business card to me. If there is a way to actually see your work, you may want to change up the website so that is a little more obvious.

Also, following up on applications can be really helpful. You can do this by calling or stopping by in person to speak with a hiring manager. This helps them put a face/voice to name. Hope this helps!

Hi Delano, Thanks for posting on Jobcase! I did a quick search and found a bunch of production artist jobs in New York for you. Check them out and you can apply for any you're interested in.

I would suggest following up on as many as you can. Give them a call 1-2 days after submitting your application to make sure they received it. Then call again, or stop by in person, 1 week later to see if you are being considered or to set up a time to meet with the hiring manager. And if you have a portfolio, be sure to have that with you.

I hope this helps!!
