Another ok day
Feb. 25th, 2015 12:15 pmHad an interview yesterday with an employment agency who specialize in design work, etc. The woman I spoke with showed me some adjustments they want me to make to my resume (in terms of wording, presentation etc) and I'm to meet back with her a week from Friday. Hoping if I make myself look good enough they'll be able to find me something as a Junior/Intermediate graphic designer.
Then last night my throat began to hurt -- I'm hoping my cold will have moved on to stuffed-up nose by tomorrow, as I have an interview with another possible employer/agency -- it'll be by phone, so at least I won't have to leave the apartment, but I'd like to be able to speak without pain.
Meanwhile, I'm working on the resume -- having long since absorbed the idea that all submissions should be as plain and legible as possible, it's been both fun and scary to try to make one with a bit more visual pizzazz; but then applying for a graphic design job is not the same as applying for general office work, or submitting a manuscript. I suppose they want evidence that I can make a document eye-catching without sacrificing clarity.
