Before you give a nickel to a designer you want to make sure you’ve thoroughly gone through her/his creative portfolio. Looking at a designer’s portfolio is a good place to start your evaluation, but there are often (I mean almost always) concealed facts behind what you see. Not knowing the whole truth behind what you’re looking at can cost your company big time. The artist isn’t going to volunteer the information, so it’s your job to be informed and ask the right questions to uncover what you really need to know.

As companies begin evaluating their bottom line, many people will find that their positions are being eliminated through no fault of their own. When you are laid off unexpectedly, it is important to remain in control of your life and focus your energies in the right direction.

Sometimes missing a critical meeting just can't be helped. Despite the advance planning, you just cannot make it to the meeting. Before you get out the guilt stick and beat yourself up about how stupid that was or how bad it’s going to be for your career, take a step back and examine how to overcome your absence.
