cheers man...
everyone starts out at the bottom..i know i sure did...
felt like i couldn't even get arrested, ya know?..no one was interested...
was working doing EXACTLY what you're doing now, at a crappy little place (fortunately not in a mall) that was (fortunately) located next door to an ad agency...
the photo place was slowing down and they thought they'd have to cut my hours down to 10 a week (i was fucked..how can you pay rent with that?)
but the manager their was a good buddy, and he took me next door to the ad agency and hooked me up with them..simple as that...we walked over, he introduced me to the girls in client services, then to the production manager and we all had a smoke, dude just said' this kid knows his stuff, and we would love to keep him, but we're slowing down...if you're looking for a great designer.....etc
had an interview the next day and was hired a few days later...ya just NEVER know whats gonna happen..
and you better believe i bought dudes beer for like, a month after that out of major gratitude...
:)your work is tight Prodigal...
you'll make it...just keep plugging away, and you'll make it happen...
don't be afraid to get out there and meet these folks..
find out what bars the local ad agencies hang out at (believe me, there will be one) and make it a point to be there too
ive gotten more interviews from hanging out at designer hangouts and bars than from coldcalling studios...
