Graphic Designer

[onaled515]

I have a question to any graphic designers currently in the industry now. What do companies look for in a portfolio and do most companies train you on new software if you are unfamiliar with it? I am attending the GDC for the 2nd time and it is very hard to find companies that are looking for graphic designers. Most want graphic artists which are totally different or just web designers. Any information will be greatly appreaciated since this is a passion of mine to get my foot into the industry with the skills I have. Also with little knowledge of flash and 3dsmax, is it possible to find a graphic design position and what do graphic designers do in the industry besides create the manuals, put together the box art and work with pormotional advertising?
