PR is all about making your mark.

For job-seeking communicators, the latest interviewing trend embodies that mentality—and aims to leave a lasting impression on interviewers.

From digitized portfolios and USB drives to personalized pens and custom artwork, creative communications pros are pulling out all the stops in order to land their next position.
