Ok cheers Maddy,

I'll take a look at them both and make some changes and then re-post them again tomoz!

Right, I've now made some changes to both my covering letter and also my c.v
so please check them out and let me know if their any better.
I have not made many changes to my c.v as I do not like the idea of trying to cram
it onto just one page but my covering letter is a lot smaller and more to the point now.

Maddy

Yeah much better. Your CV is fine as two pages as you've done so much and the layout is simple so as not to boggle the mind of your potential employer. Your letter is much more to the point now.

Hopefully that'll do the trick.

If your letter, CV and portfolio fails to get you an interview don't be afraid to ask why. The answer you get could help you in future applications.

Cool! Cheers Maddy,

Well funily enough I had an interview on Sat which went quite well and I have another interview tomoz (although that one was one I sent out my old letter and C.V. so can't say it was all due to the changes)!
Fingers crossed!

Hi Liam,

We've written a little help guide on our website for new designers applying for jobs (from a design agency's point of view). It's based on our own experiences with job applicants and things we appreciate (and some we don't!). You can view it here:

Design Job Career Advice | Graphic Design Job Applications | Design Agency Job Advice | BML Creative | BML Creative

Hopefully it might open a few doors, or at the very least stop them from being slammed shut!

Good luck with the hunt.

David
