Kevin, great model....any luck with placement?

[kev_N]

hey

i have a graphics design job for a few days at a place starting tomorrow so its all experience been applying to a lot of places, if there are jobs in sketchup for visuals or modeling I would love to do that too, oh and i planned and met a guy last week to do work for him on graphics for his website company also, so waiting on a few threads

[sepo]

good to hear....are you checking London? You should explore that as well.

[kev_N]

ye that is the plan when i have some money to travel and then stay.

you got any contacts for sketch up freelance jobs for possible visuals? thought i would cheeky and ask

[sepo]

Not at this very moment but will see what could be done.

[Bryan K]

Nice. Well done.

[KarinaGM]

more, more, more!

Kev: I must have spoke to nearly 100 companies before I got a job. It's a really bad time to look, but there are definitely jobs out there.

I was sending CVs to company after company and most weren't even replying. So I just started ringing them up and asking up-front whether they had any job vacancies. I telephoned nearly every architecture practice in Manchester, I discovered most of them weren't even considering taking on Part 1 Architects any more (year out placements). No point even sending your CV if they aren't gonna look at it, waste of time. And within a couple of days I got an interview, been working at the same place for nearly 2 years now.

dont look for "sketchup jobs".....go for CAD/3D visualiser or 3D artist.

[kev_N]

hey

yea i want a job that use auto-desk software so i can better myself with new skills. I have just finished a 2 week stint with a Graphics company using 3D modelling to enhance graphics, has been really good experience i dont get down hearted and ye i must of sent of to so many, but i keep going i will g et something eventually love this line of work i want to branch into.
