I have recently changed jobs from Emak Mafu where I was a flash developer to Glasseye for a month where I was the main developer and designer, which was really good having most of the control over a project.
The main piece of work I produced at Glasseye was an interactive CD for a children’s charity Sing Up, ill hopefully put up some images of it when I get sent the final copy.
Now I am again a flash developer, this time at Tequila\ London.
It’s been a big jump from small agencies of 3-10 people to a massive agency of over 100 people that’s part of a bigger group with an untold amount of employees.
@ Tequila they let new employees settle in before they bombard them with work, which I found a little strange and unsettling at first as I’m used to working flat out all the time. After I got over the shock of not having work to do I got down to some much needed R&D to get some new skills under my belt and my next few posts will be about my little tests, most of which are quite pointless.
Sam.
I got a call from a recruitment agent today… she found my CV on google.
I didn’t know recruitment agents actively went looking for candidates on google but its nice to know I rank high enough to get a phone call, even tho the job was not right for me and she would have know that if she had taken a few mins to read my CV.
From my experience and what I’ve heard most recruitment agents use a blanketing approach to filling vacancies by putting forward any one who even slightly matches the spec needed or even if they don’t hoping that one will stick and they can get some commission.
Some are good tho like the ones that got me my current jog Ecom.
To all the people (and spam bots) that may one day read this.
This is the first of many posts in my personal bolg.
Who am i???
Well I am Sam.
I like the web, making stuff for the web, looking at stuff on the web and sharing it.
As I write this I am currently working as a Flash developer @ Emak Mafu, a digital agency and have recently graduated Staffordshire University, with a BA First class honours in Interactive Multimedia, check that shit out!
I’ve been nominated for a couple of awards including the Europrix Top Talent Award 2007 and BIMA Award 2007 for my final university work Interactive Television Polling. But didn’t actually win anything but I will win something on day… you read it her first, even if it is just a raffle or £10 on the lottery.
That’s enough ramblings and talking about myself for now. And maybe even for ever….
