Struggling to get noticed as a designer?

Taking a trip down memory lane so to speak to when i was looking for a job, I remember vividly how hard it was/is to get noticed or heard. Now i suppose I’m talking pre-internet days so things were handled via snail mail. If you were lucky, you maybe got invited for an interview to show your portfolio and would hope for the best. Anyway fresh out of university with nothing much to show to be honest from the ´real´ world in my portfolio, except for uni work was a hard nut to crack to be honest. Even desktop publishing was in its early days so most of my work consisted of logos and lots of sketches, paintings and technical drawings. Obviously at least now you can come away with more work to show but in most cases this is still not from the REAL world, its from classes, school, college and so on.
