The session was called, "Top 10 Things We Look for in Hiring a Designer," and focused on what makes a designer stand out in the hiring process. "I've been really lucky in my career," Lohman said after the talk, "I'd like to share some of the knowledge I've gained in hopes that it will lead students to be successful in their careers." Lohman is a member of the Visual Communications Department's Program Advisory Committee for the Westwood College Loop Campus and has given other talks on success in graphic design to the students. He also conducts portfolio reviews for students preparing to graduate and advises them how to tighten their presentations for job interviews.    - [#Giving Back](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/giving-back) - [#Graphic Design](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/graphic-design) - [#Industry Insights](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/industry-insights) - [#Community](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/community) - [#News](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/news) - [#Muse](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/topic/muse) Written by ### [NeigerDesign Staff](https://blog.neigerdesign.com/author/neigerdesign-staff) ## Comments Questions or comments?
