how to present yourself in a creative world.
self-promotion has never come easy, and obviously there
is no universal scheme. this course examines different
approaches to make sure you, your talent and your work
are brought to the attention of the people that 'matter'
(to you, in a certain moment of your life).
improve your business card, your portrait picture should

immensely helpful to communicate. job interviews are made easier.

gain insight from those in the know.
the sooner you start to prepare yourself, the better.
