Land Your Dream Job by The Futur

The Futur Land Your Dream Job is an online course by Petrula Vrontikis that guides designers through the job search, from describing yourself to deciding whether to accept an offer. It is an 11-chapter video course covering an About Me statement, interview questions, following up, researching companies, your online presence and how to qualify a job offer. It comes with cover letter, presentation and recommendation letter templates, interview preparation exercises, job search resources and bonus interviews with industry professionals. It is a beginner course with no prerequisites and costs $169.

Most of The Futur's business courses are written for freelancers and studio owners who sell to clients. This one is for people who want a job: a salaried role in a studio, agency or in-house team. That makes The Futur Land Your Dream Job one of the few courses in the catalogue aimed at employment rather than self-employment, and its templates are designed to save time on the paperwork every application needs.

What You Will Learn

The course covers the practical steps of applying for and securing a design role.

• How to write an About Me statement that explains who you are and what you do
• How to research companies before you apply and before you interview
• How to prepare for common interview questions, with practice exercises
• How to follow up after an interview without being a nuisance
• How to judge and qualify a job offer before you accept it
• How to shape your online presence so it supports your application
• How to use the cover letter, presentation and recommendation letter templates

Who Is The Futur Land Your Dream Job For?

The official page names four groups: career switchers, new graduates, aspiring interns and students. If you are moving into design from another field, finishing a degree or looking for your first internship, the course is written with you in mind.

It is less relevant if you already have several years of studio experience and simply need to update your portfolio, or if you plan to work freelance. In that case, Rock Your Portfolio or the negotiation and pricing courses will be a better fit.

Course Structure

The course is organised as 11 video chapters. The official page describes the topics it covers rather than listing each chapter by name:

• About Me statement: introducing yourself clearly
• Researching companies: knowing where you are applying
• Online presence: what employers find when they look you up
• Interview questions: preparation with practice exercises
• Follow-up: what to do after the interview
• Qualifying a job offer: deciding whether an offer is right for you
• Bonus interviews: conversations with industry professionals

The materials also include cover letter, presentation and recommendation letter templates and a set of job search resources. No total running time is stated on the page.

Price and Access

The Futur Land Your Dream Job costs $169 as a one-time purchase on The Futur's website. That places it among the lower-priced courses in the catalogue, alongside other career and skills courses, and well below the agency-level business courses.

The facts we checked do not state the access period or refund terms, so read the official page before buying.

About the Instructor

Petrula Vrontikis is a graphic designer and a full-time professor at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. Teaching design students who are about to enter the industry gives her a close view of how graduates find their first roles and what hiring studios look for.

Things to Consider

• Portfolio first: the course helps you present yourself, but a strong portfolio still does most of the work; fix that first if it is weak.
• Do the exercises: interview preparation only helps if you practise answers out loud, ideally with someone asking the questions.
• Adapt the templates: use the cover letter and presentation templates as a starting point, then tailor each application to the company.
• Timing: start before you need a job, so you can research companies and build your online presence without pressure.
• Freelance instead? If you would rather work for yourself, look at Rock Your Portfolio and How To Negotiate.
• Check the page: confirm the current price and what the bonus interviews include on the official course page.
