You may have already noticed that the there are less and less Print roles around at the moment but a hell of a lot of web design ones. The markets are evolving and a lot of companies are belatedly starting to recognise the benefits of using the web for their market presence.

I hope everyone managed to get a good rest over the break in order to tackle what 2009 has to throw at us. Its already been an incredibly busy start for us with an awful lot of people stepping onto the job market. The worst hit seems to be the print sector with a lot of the larger companies holding back on reinvestment / advertising and are trimming down quickly. The middle size companies seem to

Its that time of year where the market gets a huge influx of fresh creative talent from the newly qualified graduates. However, once the celebrations have finished the cold reality of the real world starts to sink in. Unfortunately, from my observations, what most of the creative courses out there seem to be lacking in is probably one of the most difficult challenges a graduate will have -

For our first blog I thought it would be most appropriate to write about a topic which seems to be a common problem most designers – a strategy for getting a job they love. Unfortunately, this is not usually because the right job is not out there or that you are not right for the job but, more often than not, the opportunity is missed right from the beginning because the right approach is not
