I'm on the same money. Five years commercial experience, print, web design and production, artworking. I'm a busy man.
Fucking frustrated, been looking elsewhere for a few months, had two interviews but no jobs out of it. Wrote to about 40 agencies and got about 5 replies saying "sorry, we're not hiring".
There's hardly anything going at the moment and probably nothing now until after Xmas.

With the state of the industry right now, £1000 a month is still better than being made redundant and having to claim benefit.

a grand barely covers rent though!

wow, I've been to UK and can do the math, I don't think it is that bad. Conversion to US $ is pretty good actually :)
- rasp0
and benefit doesnt?
- unknown0
It's less than a recent graduate can expect to earn! Better off being a runner in somewhere you really want to work.

If you'd rather claim benefit you're helping no one including yourself
