		<title>Looking ahead to my next job, will my multimedia degree help?</title>

Anyway, for my question, I&#8217;m a fresh graduate and recently got a job as a Junior Art Director at a local medium-sized ad agency. I plan on staying for only a year to ...]]></description>

		<title>What should go on my business card?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jancy,
I am currently a creative advertising student, and recently I have been attending many advertising related events. I quickly realized that having a business card handy to give out is almost mandatory.
The problem I am having is that I have no idea what to put as a &#8216;job title&#8217; on a business card. I thought that since I do ...]]></description>

		<title>What good ad schools are out there, other than VCU and MAS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello Jancy! Love the site, read it almost everyday.
This is YET ANOTHER ad school question. Aside from VCU Brandcenter and Miami Ad School, what other grad schools are up there for advertising in the US?
We also see impressive work from the University of Texas, Texas State U (yes Texas is overindexing for strong ad programs), the University of Colorado/ Boulder ...]]></description>

		<title>Looking to break in with a book, a BA, and little else. Help!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, just wanted to say thanks for writing an awesome book.
Last year I fell into a copywriting position on the client side and discovered, to my great surprise, that I loved it! Now I&#8217;m considering a jump to an agency to keep my career moving forward.
The problem is I&#8217;m concerned I&#8217;ve done everything backwards. I have no background in ...]]></description>

		<title>Two years out of school, still no job. What do I do?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where do I go from here?
I graduated May 08 with a BS in Advertising from the Texas Creative program, all set with a portfolio to start my career.
Naturally, my timing was bad with the economic climate. I&#8217;ve been doing my best to wait it out and have done a few internships to keep myself up to date. But it&#8217;s been ...]]></description>

		<title>We want additional projects, but our group CDs say no</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is, I&#8217;m sorry to say, a question about office politics.
I&#8217;m early in my career at a very large office of a very large global advertising agency. For the past year or so, my partner and I have worked almost exclusively on one account. The client is complicated so our creative directors appreciate that we have a good feeling for ...]]></description>

		<title>Toronto vs. Vancouver: which is the better career choice?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do you think of working in Vancouver vs Toronto?  Let&#8217;s say we&#8217;re comparing the top creative shops in each city.
My concerns about Vancouver shops are that even though there may be some awesome creative opportunities, those creative opportunities are only for smaller, more local brands.  In Toronto, it&#8217;s harder to do good work, but at least you ...]]></description>

		<title>The fine line between a portfolio that&#8217;s too &#8220;safe&#8221; and too &#8220;out there&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past two weeks I have been working with the advice a CD gave me and as well cultivating some new campaigns to help beef up my portfolio. Through this I have come across a reappearing question that I have yet to have answered. I have found that the number one advice CD&#8217;s give aspiring creatives is to take ...]]></description>
