Had no responses from Seek in the last month, applied for a job a day and not even getting a response.
Could it be my opening line on my covering letter?
"Dear *insert design agency name*,
I find your work completely mediocre and it appears you need a higher class of designer willing to do less hours for more money. I will need any sunny day off to go drink in the gardens, I will invoice for my cigarette's and alcohol.
Yours,"

Mike - just make sure you save all your receipts, and keep a hefty %age in the bank for two reasons - tax and emergencies.
Get a good accountant / financial planner and use an agent to help you get your foot in the door - you'll be right as rain.
- it's not so much that, it's more like juggling gigs, seems most people having been looking to book me for like a month or twoneue75_bold
- while already being booked, so have turned a few things away and in hindsight, should have tried to juggle..neue75_bold
- aah yes... the juggling gigs isn't all that fun. I'm assuming you are agency freelancing?Amicus
- the biggest thing is to try and work offsite, otherwise your tax status could change from sole proprietor to employed contractorAmicus
- employed contractor that isAmicus

- a_c0
I have some work for digital designers in Melbourne. Drop me a mail pls.
- Amicus0
What sort of stuff are you needing a_c... more info please?
- a_c0
We've got a few brand sites, mainly design extension, and some projects requiring UI/UX development, and some open brief viral/Christmas activity. Then we've some more minor work for stuff like eDMs and the like too.
- what's an eDM?neue75_bold
- electronic direct marketingjurassica
- electronic Direct Mail - I'm guessing he means email blasts or enewslettersAmicus
- I'm guessing he is a she..neue75_bold
- Malleus_Maleficarum0
Wow, that's a lot of jargon.
- yeah, and half the jargon doesn't mean all that much.Amicus
- a_c0
Well, that's the jargon we use in agencies in Ireland, the UK and Australia. Don't worry, I'll find someone else.
- for how long do you need people, I can do a few days a week, only design though, no coding experience..neue75_bold
- since I see you've changed your email addy, drop me a line if that timing works for you..neue75_bold
- I didn't mean offense either, was just wondering what an eDM was..neue75_bold

Cheers! Had a blast.
