Good luck! I looked at your site. You are really talented! I work in social media, you should definitely take a look at marketing/social media and PR agencies too. Some of them have creative departments that need talent like yours. I am in the US and would recommend that you look at a company like Jess3 that works with a variety of brands.  Have you tried any temp agencies or anything?

thanks for the tip! i did some research and i'm in the process of contacting agencies and studios. whatever it takes!

Since starting this thread, I have so far contacted 7 places - I have about 20 more to go through. I really hope someone will respond.

I've had a good response rate a few months ago, but it's been awfully quiet right now.

Maybe people are taking vacations and the last thing they want to do is give me an informational interview. Blah.

I MUST KEEP GOING.

Why are you not looking forward to that? Birthdays can be a pain sometimes.

I totally know what it's like...I've been unemployed since the beginning of the year.  Keep your chin up!  I recently reached out to a couple placement agencies.  I'm not sure if it will work out, but it makes me feel productive to know that I have people looking and not just me on the case.  GOOD LUCK!

Well it actually could be, it was my experience that the more senior members of my company took vacations around July or just in the summer in general because their kids were off and stuff. I'm sure things will pick up.

Sigh. I've been feeling awful lately. I've been laid off since end of March... I went through 3 interviews, but there's been no luck.

I've been feeling lazy and stagnant...

I've gratuated university in 2009, then I had hard time finding work and started as an intern. I interned for months...months...

think 10 months... it was paid, and then I got a full time position....overall I have 2 years experience.

My bf suggests I intern again, but I don't think I can mentally do it anymore. It makes me feel like garbage! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am a designer and I make printed matter... here is my portfolio.

I am a little bit shy and quiet and that doesn't help either... sigh.

really annoyed and want to CRY /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />((

Ever consider starting your own company on Etsy?

Yes, it's usually really slow in the summer. I have faith though. I can do it!

I could in the future! But right now I need a 'real' job in the agency - something that will satisfy my parents.
