I do that online or via forwarded work in the form of PDF's, etc. The physical book is probably 1 percent of my screening process because it takes so long to get it, store it, send it back, etc. I love the physical book as part of the interview, and the way traditional design (and some ad) pieces look are still best viewed in book form. But the electronic form of the book cannot be over emphasized. I'm a little amused by your, uh "Adversary's" position. It smacks of fear of change, the likely hood they might have to learn something new to get by, or complete ignorance.

She was reluctant to even tell me she was on LI or how to reach her. Thanks for being so open with the students. They need to hear all sides.

I'm glad to see that you got involved once you joined.

As long as the students got something out of it, that's what matters.

Ad Club is awesome. I'm glad to see that you got involved once you joined. Some people just join for the after hours parties, and that's OK but there are a lot of fulfilling opportunities for the people that look beyond that.

After 9 years in the KC ad scene, I've been really digging this first year in Ad Club. I didn't quite catch that full vibe from her, but I could tell that she was trying to throw some weight around.
