I use Photoshop to create, and retouch images for companies like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.
On a typical day, if I am not working on a previous project, I will begin by receiving a new assignment. Connecting to a server, I download the images I need to retouch, of which the amount can vary depending on the show. Then I begin to retouch them, and upload the edited images to the server along with the other people I am working with. From there we pass them back and forth for notes and finally organization for submission to our client.

I recommend going to the Career Center and having them fix your current resume. Then keep improving it and bringing it back for more advice. I also recommend creating a good cover letter, and updating it so that it is always specific towards the job you are applying for.

Make sure you are very good with communicating, and find which forms of communication work best for you.
Keep working on your skills, and make a website or blog to showcase them to others.
