Best thing to do is contact your local graphic design companies and offer to work for them part time for free to get experience.

My Advice is change ur portfolio.Include more examples,divide it into several sections-like clients,projects,typography, cloth design etc.Then u will get more attention.also visit websites for graduates ,type in google graphic design agencies in NI and send a copy of ur CV to all of them .

All the best with ur search.

Hey,

I saw your posting and understand your situation, as I deal with it on a daily basis! It is cruel that you have spent so long studying, only to discover that what employers' really seem to want is experience. Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know about Creative Protege, it's a company that dedicates its time to help inexperienced grads secure work experience. Check us out at Creative Protege Ltd, I'm sure we can do something.
