Every time I got ready to apply there it kind of turned me off that I had to print a bunch of stuff that’s not meant to be printed, so I never did. Interesting, because (I assume) I’m close to what they’re looking for. I was quite interested when I saw this ad — I graduated in May and know a few people who have worked there.

I'd say it's still limiting your selection of good hires. I should clarify that they are a branding company, but they are wanting to hire a web designer.

I think someone sent me one last week. It's still on the bottom of a very big pile on my desk. I actually had someone refuse to send me one online. They demanded that they be able to send a CD or printed copy of their work. Needless to say, I suggested they talk to other firms.

I guess if all else fails I can always send them a spoken portfolio recoreded on an 8 track. Maybe print is the new web.

Reminds me the days of building web sites than being asked to 'can you print out the entire site so we can courier it over to the client for review?' Sigh.
