excitement!

ok, its the night before my first interview and i am so excited! a company called Parker Williams Design have “shown interest in me” and booked me in for an interview at 2.00 tomorrow after noon in london… i am so nervous! ugh and what is so annoying about it is that im only nervous because i really want the job!
it sounds just so perfect, its basically the job equivalent of how excellent that MA was for me. the position is for a junior packaging artworker/designer and i get the impression i will be doing alot of the random office jobs, (which i am completely fine with because i want to learn more) but at the same time working my way up and getting more responsibility as time goes on.

the only problem is that a recruitment agency called me about it, and even though i asked for the job description for this job to be sent to me… so i know what im in for… i never got one.
i used my brain and went to the recruitment agencys website and searched for anything that sounded simillar to what the man had described to me on the phone and i found this…

Junior Packaging Artworker

Central London, to £21,000. I’m working with a London based, well established packaging design agency who are looking for someone with a real passion for artworking. They deal with some very reputable clients and work alongside them to create some of the most recognisable brand ID’s and packaging and want someone who can bring these ideas to life! You’ll need to know your way around Photoshop and Illustrator and a good working knowledge of Powerpoint is a must. This would be a great role for someone looking to carve a career into artworking and develop their skills with the support of a friendly and supportive agency. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, please send your CV through to me with samples.

i dont know if the job is permanent or how much the salary is but everything else sounds fulfilling. money is important but im not greedy, as long as i have enough to pay the rent, food, bills and because i realise that most design jobs are not strict 9 – 5 and i wont be able to do things in most of the evenings, so as long as i have the change to do so at weekends its a plus! ^_^

im just really excited about it!! and really nervous too. theyre a big deal, have a look at their website, i recognise pretty much everything they’ve done…. sainsburys “taste the difference” range for example. *nervous*

oh well… for tomorrow… wish me luck!
