    I have not had work in 3 months. And that is with 7 agencies working with me weekly, using my network outside of my city (Three Jobs That Were Possibles All Shit The Bed), and applying to job boards on a regular basis. I am now making myself a retail resume for a face to face interview at American Apparel on Thursday. Yesterday I went into a new Irish Pub, shook the hand of the owner, and told him I was interested in work. I have seen 3 of my Creative Directors in the last 4 months laid off (All of which I have worked with in the last year), 85 thousand jobs have been lost in NYC alone in the last 6 months, and the work ratio right now is only dedicated to interactive. Since when did Interactive departments become designers?

    • I wouldn't say interactive necessarily became designers, it's more of a functionality and overhead cost driven...Point5

    • No_It's more of agencies wanting to cut a corner and only pay one person as apposed to two.
