Today Sarah, Ashley and myself edited the profile photographs taken on Tuesday's Photoshoot. We were all really chuffed with the turn out with only 7 no-shows from the entire course. Well done Sarah for orgainising it and thanks to Ollie-our photographer!

I will be working in the SEO/Online Marketing Department beginning in late March :)
Advice to Friends: They had looked through my code with a fine toothcomb, make sure the links you send to companies have well structured and organised code.

SPP: Final Four Jobs #2_George.com
The main reason for choosing this job at George.com is a fickle one. George@ASDA is a big, well known company, with a good reputation. There would be a lot of room for broadening and developing my skills and working for a well-known company could benefit me further with future job hunting.
The job is located in Lutterworth, Leicester. So I would have to do a fair bit of 
travelling unlike Adtrak, which is quite a big negative for me. However the required skills needed match mine and so I applied more out of curiosity than anything.
The application process was a little odd. It consists of a generic form, with no room for uploading a CV, portfolio work, or covering letter type details. So it seems that successful applicants are chosen by pot luck. 
Anyhoo we shall see...

SPP: Final Four Jobs #3_DJM Media
DJM Media Solutions are a design agency located in Central Londres. Their website gives the impression of quality and talented graphic designers with an impressive range of clients and work. However the website doesn't support Firefox or Chrome which is a little strange.
The job title is Multimedia Designer. This entails Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Actionscript, HTML, CSS, awareness of W3C 
accessibility and user centred design. However it does seem quite broad as it mentions creating video and exhibition solutions, which sounds very appealing.
The main reason of not applying for this job is that unlike my 1st and 2nd choices, I would have to relocate and although living in london would be great, it is impractical given my current livi
ng arrangements.
Their website is very impressive and a great example of quality execution. Quite amusing giving the fact we were considering using the same theme of the london underground for out exhibition.

SPP: Final Four Jobs #4_ Easywebrecruit.com
This job doesn't specify who the job is for as it is advertised through an agency. It is also located in Northampton which would mean getting a car. However, The job itself sounds very suited to myself. It is a Developer/Designer role where I would be able to design as well as utilise my PHP/MySQL skills. They would prefer knowledge of asp/asp.net though which i do not have.
These are the reasons for this job being my 4th choice. I feel I am suitable for all four jobs and they would all suit me but as I have described, the main decider is the location at present and during my job hunt, I have found very few jobs that are nearby.
As I have no idea of who the company is I have no way of researching further into their portfolio of work or the company itself.

SPP: Intern search
The FWA has a load of jobs posted on their website. Many of these are not applicable to myself as they are mainly Senior roles in Flash Design and Development. However I did come across a couple of Internships in America that look quite interesting.
>Fake Up, New York
>Ruthless&Toothless, Downtown Miami
The second of the two sound like it would suit be more as it seems less Flash based. However, it is unpaid and a 3 day week. Working abroad does appeal to me however, its perhaps something I can do later on when I have more industry experience behind me.

SPP: onalytica.com job vacancy
"Onalytica is a leading supplier of services that transforms online buzz into actionable intelligence. Through analysis of what is being published and 
debated online we help some of the world’s most respected brands measure, understand and improve the effectiveness of their MarCom activities, improve their responsiveness and predict the future."
Front End Developer job at Onalytica Ltd
At Onalytica we work on bringing the benefits of advanced analysis of the onlin
e debate to marketeers and enterprise customers around the world. We are currently developing the next generation platform for analysing the online debate, making it more available to a wider range of users and we are now seeking to recruit a Front-End Developer to ensure a robust, elegant and beautiful application for our clients.
You should be an outstanding front end coder with an impressive knowledge of HTML and CSS and the various ways these can be implemented in a wide variety of browsers. Of course, you will also be expected to keep up to date with the latest HTML5 and CSS3 specificati
ons, and be able to advise on what can sensibly be implemented now.

Many of these placements are unpaid and there is a charge of £800. On top of this there are accomodation, flight, visa and living costs, but what an experience it could be! I've requested some information regarding design and web design placements. But thinking if i was to do it, perhaps using some of my contacts to make things a bit cheaper.
