May 22nd is Portfolio Night for Boston-area design/copywriting students!
Say, folks! SapientNitro is hosting a great event this week at their Boston office for students interested in full-time opportunities in Boston.
Here’s what I know:
On Wednesday May 22, in partnership with the Art Directors Club of New York, they’ll be bringing New England's top advertising and design Creative Directors to their offices in the Back Bay, where they will be available to review student portfolios for an evening.
They'll give honest, real-world perspectives on student portfolios and in some cases may actually offer them a job.
They're not doing this for charity – they're looking for fresh talent to add to their organizations. This will be a golden opportunity for all 2013 graduates to begin their job searches with people in the mood to hire.

This is an impressive list of New England's top advertising and design pros, so they are limiting the number of student slots available to allow each student quality time with multiple Creative Directors throughout the evening.
I know this a busy time with exams and graduation plans, but this agency would love to have students the Boston area buy tickets.
Students should log on to portfolionight.com/11/boston<http://portfolionight.com/11/boston> where they can learn more about the event and get tickets.
Doors open at 6 pm on Wednesday, May 22, at SapientNitro offices at 131 Dartmouth St., 3rd Floor. Food and beverages will be served.
