Always looking for website designers with talent that want to take on demanding projects, please send us a CV with links to your previous website work and an introduction similar to this guide one:
I have been looking at your website and was wondering if you had any web designer positions (junior/ trainee) available, as i am looking into changing my career and get more into designing websites full time rather than part time which is what i do at the moment. I am currently looking to further my career in Web Designing as at the moment I am working for a company called Google, my role within this company is a production assistant but for 2 days a week I work within the sales department keeping the current website updated, i have also started designing a new website from scratch as I feel the website is quite dated.
I am very interested in Web Designing, I have passed courses in Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, Photoshop and I have a good knowledge of the Adobe package. I am currently learning Visual Web Developer through tutorials. Doing these courses made me want to design my own websites, which are indicated in my CV, whilst working on client sites i have gained useful knowledge. I managed to produce my websites in my spare time outside of work and now I really want to get into this full time. I am very hard worker, very punctual and an excellent communicator. I can work well within a team but can also work well individually. I like to get tasks finished in a scheduled time scale and feel i would benefit working for your company if given the opportunity
