Adobe NEXT Conversations

Webinar Series

Join us for the launch of Adobe NEXT Series, our new virtual series helping students make the leap from the classroom to their first design job.

Each session brings together educators and creative industry leaders for an open conversation on what employers are looking for when hiring emerging designers. Learn how students can present their work in a way that stands out, what makes the difference between landing the offer and getting the thank-you email, and leave with practical insights to put into action.

The leap from student to your first design job is a big one, but the right tools can help you make it with confidence. Design grads have their portfolio: check. Their interview outfit: check. But how can students present their work in a way that makes them stand out? Let’s have a conversation and dig in to break down what gets students the offer versus the thank-you email.

Join us for an open conversation between a design faculty lead and a creative director on what employers are looking for when hiring a junior designer.
