    I'm getting the same kind of frustration at the moment horp, different circumstances of course. Just a bit bummed that when I finally get my portfolio together 75% of it will be pitches that either didn't win, won us other inferior work or ended being so shagged when built that they can't be linked to actually working in the net. I worry that 75% of any interview is going to be trying to explain why those project are essentially hypothetical...

    • That was the attitude at Concrete, but def not everywhere, but horp is right, everyone has been there..neue75_bold
    • i got this attitude pretty much everywhere i interviewed in London. Honesty about your work is a plus. It shows eagerness for perfection.
