sorry about the first, but congratulations on the second!

Thanks lads.
Third Eye's work is the sort of thing I'd love to be doing, but without any previous agency experience, I suppose I can't be picky. The work process at SO seems as though there is a lot of scope for creative exploration, so I'm excited about that.

Ah fuck, I had a big meaningful post ready there and hit the wrong button and deleted the fucker.
Anyway, gist of it was, sorry to hear about that man! I know its a kick in the knackers but in the long run it could be the best for you. What would have happened if you had moved all your shit up to glasgow only to find out there was no job anymore?
You'll get something, the work is top notch and you're musical taste would be a welcome addition to any studio. Now go listen to that karate kid song again. buck up!

On a positive note, just got offered a job with Studio Output, doing the Ministry of Sound stuff. Could be interesting!

Sorry mike. Link to gf's site?Concrete - she doesn't have one yet, she's just getting her folio together... dude it'll be a good gig for ya :Dneue75_bold

I never heard of Egelnick&Webb. Once again I'm am absolutely gobsmacked by the sheer amount of top-quality level design companies that exist at the moment. Their works looks really nice and what a great client list.
As for getting pissed off... yeah, it happens, but make sure you don't convey that in your meeting in any way. better to seem in demand than ground down by a fruitless slog. When I was designing, I used to spend the night before an interview doing something completely new and self-initiated in a sketch book. I'd always explain that I'd done it the previous night and why (specifically for the purposes of having something totally new and previosuly unseen to show in the meeting). I'd whack it out near the beginning and it just seemed to be a good 'lift' to a portfolio that I had grown tired of going through. Also, if you're a bit bored of your folder by now then re-order the projects and don't spend too long looking it through it in the new order, so that it hasd a bit of a surprise element for you as well as them.Those were my tricks anyhoo.
Hope it goes well Ben!

Just heard back from Hector. Apparently, "circumstances have changed in Glasgow, and they no longer require a designer."
I'm gutted. Thought it was too good to be true.
He said he'll stay in touch and let me know if things change.
I have another interview with www.egelnickandwebb.com tomorrow, but to be honest I'm pissed off with being invited to show my work and then not hearing anything. Any advice, folks?
- sorry to hear that man ;( but these things happen, take it in stride and keep going...neue75_bold
