Me! This is me with my hand up. :)
It's working for a real estate company in the Mayfair office in London.
(email me for a link)
My role will include the designing and setting of ads for magazines, newspapers and general print material that is needed. There's only three of us who work upstairs in the marketing deparment, and I'll be the only one on design - so it looks like I'll be quite busy. My biggest challenge will be in convincing them to swap over to Indesign rather than using Quark 7.0
I did a test yesterday morning using Quark, and a page advert (with instructions on where the files were and what they expected) that normally would have taken about 30 mins took me almost an hour! It was only a straight repeat of the material that was already there.
Oh well. It made me realize that it's been a while since I worked on Quark...and there are genuinely big reasons why I love Indesign.
Haha. I love that it's in Mayfair. You can see Park Lane from the link - Land on this square and I'll claim rent.
The job is guaranteed until the end of the year, and then they're either going to rehash the department or it'll change to a permanent position. I'm quite fine with the option to re-think the position at the end of the year, as I'm not sure how long I want to stay in London for.
In other news...I've been to see another house, one that I really liked, great price, location and the people were pretty cool too. They were looking for someone to fit in, which I can only assume I didn't, as I haven't heard back from them. Very sad.
Time is getting on and I really don't want to outstay my welcome in Golders Green.
Still searching...
Wow - that's excellent Kat! Congratulations :)
