Web Design Forums

Ok this is a long shot but worth a try and seeing as I'm first in queue it's time for me to blow my own trumpet!

I am looking for any vacancies available at present or the near future if applicable for a web design or analyst role or similar within London or Essex.

I have been out of work for the past 6 months, after leaving my previous job in May 2002 to go and work in Australia, which fell through when I got out there. I returned to the UK in September 2002 and have failed to secure a permanent role due to such a competitive market at present.

Before leaving the UK I have been working full-time maintaining a corporate website which was designed by myself for The Financial Training Company. I was responsible for creating and marketing a range of IT services including Web Design packages, Web Hosting and Web Site promotion services including banner click throughs and e-commerce. have first hand experience in liaising with clients at all business levels and at all stages of the development life cycle. My previous salary was £27K pa.

My skills and experience include over 4.5 years commercial experience in a vibrant mix of marketing, strategic planning, product development, information design and client consultation. Furthermore, my skill set includes hands-on, web design utilising HTML within Dreamweaver and FrontPage, Image creation and manipulation within Adobe PhotoShop, Macromedia Fireworks and Paint Shop Pro, Flash, CSS, and JavaScript. In addition to my web skills I also have server experience such as set-up, security using firewalls (setup and maintenance), virus software and web server maintenance using Apache and IIS 4.

My technical career is explained in detail in my C.V. which can be requested via email. However the websites shown are the best testimony to my skills in producing an elegant and informative Internet presence. :P

I think he wants people who can work from home, I mailed him my CV from the posting in the general forum but I dont think he appreciated it, I didnt get a reply :confused:

fromabove · 22-07-2003, 01:11

I don't think I would publicize my ability to use Front Page if I were you. I'm sure that there's a good opportunity out there for you, though. Get good at coding HTML/XHTML/CSS by hand.

Your work's pretty good. I like the Raisley design.

Purple,

I think you'd have a better chance being hire at employment forums like http://www.webhostingtalk.com or sites like http://www.scriptlance.com

Let me see can knock up a banner in 10 mins, am fluent in email campaigns and now have learnt illustrator so i did some print work.... oh and of course maintaining their cackily built website which hopefully will be hacked soon enough by 5 year olds.
