Finding a Placement

On the best lead I felt I got today after speaking to someone on the phone I comprised this email. Over the phone we exchanged names and chk design studios in London said they may have a place for me even though they don't usually have people coming in for such a short time, which seems to be the case for almost every studio I've contacted.


I thought in order to stand out I should incorporate some humour, I did so through my name (Ali G) as well as including a character from one of my animations, Little Bacteria Man who asks them "So what do you say?"

 

I've currently contacted (calls and email) 14 different design studios.

Getting a Placement

Talk up soft skills and 'fit'
characteristics you can own, show personality

Be able to sell yourself, be confident

Have a CLEAR ASK: be upfront
eg "are you available for a skype call on this date/ time about a possibility to come work in your studio" as opposed to here's my portfolio can I work for you

Can someone reply to you in one sentence

Pursue them - follow up!
