Default Hi

My advice is keep tryin and you wil find somethig. Do your nice porfolio and some samples of your designs and websites if you have or write in Cover Letter what exactly skills you have. And build clear and nice CV - you have to know how to sell yourself to potential employers. I know is hard even myself keep tryin get job in creative industry with not too impresive portfolio. I recommend Jobcentre and CV-Library. Good Luck !

I don't see why age should be a factor if you can do the job just as well as anyone else, in fact your age should encourage employers to keep you around simply due to the fact if you're starting off on a new path at 30+ and willing to start at the bottom then you're not likely to just drop out the way some younger guys would. You're starting from the bottom for a good reason, you wanna do the job and not for money.
