How hard would it be to find a job in Graphic Design if you don%26#039;t have a degree?
Darn near impossible. You%26#039;d need to be able to have a portfolio prepared for any interview you go to...that is, IF you get an interview.





Most companies look at past work history and education when it comes to something as specialized as Graphic Design. If you don%26#039;t have either, you%26#039;ll have to keep going back in to let them know you%26#039;re serious about the position and let them know that you%26#039;ve assembled samples of your work.





Make sure your samples are of good quality and professionally printed (yes, this means shelling out some money to get it done right). Having a good portfolio is imperative. If you have a fantastic portfolio with no experience and you%26#039;re up against someone with lots of education but no portfolio, they%26#039;re going to choose you.





Graphic Design is all about seeing. If they don%26#039;t have anything to look at, then forget it.





Sorry to be so blunt.
