[evil chevy]

Hi,

I'm a French Senior Graphic Designer and as the company i'm working for (as a contractor) close the London office, I will loose my work at the end of March.

So, I'm back on the market for a new exciting position.
If anyone in this forum can help me, give me advice or anyting, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanx

Jimmy

I cant offer you any work, but if you are going to contact companies directly, phone them rather than email them.

I probably get over 350 enquiries a year, usually several a week most weeks, and up to 5 a day in the months before the colleges kick out. My point being... emails usually get deleted, a phone call is much much more likely to reap a positive reward, imho.

Good luck.

Go freelance through Majorplayers/gabrielle Skelton etc, freelance is boyant right now for designers, if i was better with my money id be doing it, or contact Gumball! im leaving my design position there so they will be looking! good luck, this time of year is a good time to get a new job in design.

phoning is a good idea, but really dificult to go further than the secretary if you don't have contact in the company.
What do you suggest????

gumballer why do you leave gumball!!???

Ive never used it, but apparently you sign up and bid for projects. If your prices are right and your work good, it could be a constant supply of new business for you.
