Question
Dear Respected Sir,

I wanted a question ?

I have completed Graphic Design Course (PHOTOSHOP , CORELDRAW, QUARKXPRESS , PAGEMAKER. ILLUSTRATOR) and now I wanted to make my career in Advertising Agency or Publication.

Please suggested me ,

I am totally fresher so please tell me how can do the entry in  Advertising Agency or Publication.

and how improve skills and think professionally.

Answer
hey there,

Have you completed a course, or a degree?

I'm not entirely sure yet, as I'm working on how to get in as well :).

Here's how I'm doing it.  I got a degree in advertising and will be going back next year for my masters.  I have also been working free jobs and making connections.  That is the biggest thing.  If you don't have connections, you don't get in.  My suggestion would be to look at ad annuals, graphic art annuals, magazines about the subject, anything you can get your hadns on.  If you've only done the one class, i suggest you take a whole slew of classes, a years worth, or get a degree. This is not an easy business (again, still looking for work :) )
