Lol Thanks Louie! Yes that's the thing, you never get any feedback from applications so you never know if it's something as simple as your cover letter, or they don't like your portfolio, or they just don't like how you've presented it all!

Hi everyone! I could do with some help and advice with finding a new job! I've been sending off for jobs for a month or so and not had any luck yet (although I've not really spent that much time with Christmas etc). I did have an interview with a well renown local design recruitment agency...

Cheers! Would you show 5 of your most recent work, or add older stuff you think is good as well?

No, I've learnt the hard way and will make sure I get them to sign T&C'S from now on. Just so annoying, and as bad as shoplifting or stealing in my opinion!

Unfortunately I've just had two clients say "I'm not paying you for that job as I didn't use the final artwork!" Not very funny though!!

Hi everyone! As I've started looking for another job again, I was wondering what peoples advice would be for supplying work samples with applications? Should you just send a couple of examples? Should you send loads to show them everything you can do? I know you should tailor each...

I'm yet to meet them to be honest! I did get free tickets to his show the first year. I introduced myself on the day, as we had only spoken on the phone, and he pretty much cut me dead and wasn't interested (even taking into account that he was probably busy!). Sounds like a good deal you...

Lol! Yes your completely right, but I don't want anymore hasstle with the guy. This must be the only trade I know where people seem to have so little respect for your knowledge and experience, and where they feel they can just not bother paying you!

Yes, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. I just didn't know if it was the done thing as most people are happy with the PDF's or ai's when they want logo's. He seems pretty desperate for them so must have a project coming up. I emailed him last night to say I would send him the files...

Btw Big Dave, just looking at your site, nice Mk1 Gti!

Thanks Big Dave! Yes I realised earlier this year that he was using someone else to do some of the work, and so I saw this coming. Is it usual though to supply layered files? Surely they are paying for a finished advert etc and so only need to have what is needed to reproduce this one...

Great! Thanks for your help! :icon_thumbup:

Yes, think your right. He has said he will pay me once he receives the artwork and has paid up in the past. Is there a good template for T&C's I can download from anywhere? Just one other thing, should I send the layered psd's with the artwork?

Unfortunately not! I 'inherited' him from a friend who worked with him before and so was handed work over to complete straight away.

Hello! I hope I am posting this in the right place! I have a bit of a problem with a client who is messing me about with an invoice. I have been working for this client for a few years. He holds an event annually and I have been producing all the artwork for him. He has been a bit of a...
