I have been amending and updating my Blog so that it contains a digital portfolio of all my work, during a tutorial it was mentioned to me that a few of my pieces were portrait whilst most were landscape, and that I should choose which way round I wanted my portfolio to be and amend all boards to reflect that decision.
I have now amended all my work so that it is Landscape and I am really happy with it.
I have set up my Linkedin page, which includes my CV and a link to this blog. All of these things were quite time consuming but let me tell you, worth it. Although I have had little activity for either pages, I am proud of my work and I am happy for the world to see it, hopefully all the hard work will pay off and I will get my first design job soon!
I have still to send off my CV and I have decided that initially I am going to send it off to:
Tesco
ASOS
Debenhams
George
The Arcadia Group
I have also decided that based on the fact that I have person needs for a fully paid job and that I have quite an extensive employment history within the fashion industry, I am going to send the work, CV and covering letter off in the hope that I get some interest for a fully paid position, whether that be full or part-time. It will if nothing else prepare me for my job seeking once my degree is completed, and hopefully my work will be remembered at that time and a job will be available for me to interview for.
I am quite optimistic that my previous employment history will definitely be a useful tool when scouting for a job, my understanding of a products life-cycle can only be an advantage, but in addition, my experience working to deadlines and preparing creative presentations for clients can only place me in good stead for my future.
