Web jobs
Firstly, I would like to thank everybody for their wonderful words of encouragement in the previous entry. I still haven’t got over not getting this job, but I need to move on. I have applied for another job, something more desirable. I intend to apply for as many jobs as I can. I will apply for jobs daily, I will even apply to companies that do not seem to have have vacancies.
I have been applying for web development positions, but I do not seem to get a call back. I think this may be due to me not having enough commercial experience. I really do need to bulk up my portfolio with some professional work. It is finding it that is the trouble. I have signed up for job websites, I have joined freelancing websites, even the ones where you can “bid for jobs”. I always seem to lose the bids, however. I just need to keep trying.
Some time ago I mentioned I would design/redesign a charity website for free. I contacted a charity pitching my idea and offering to do the work free of charge. That resulted in me receiving a ratty e-mail from them saying that their website is “fine” and that they have people “working on it”. If it was fine, why have people working on it? I think they got defensive about their site. Maybe I went about it the wrong way, but as far as I’m concerned I was polite and I didn’t really slate their design. I just suggested they could do with an overhaul.
My offer is still open. Any charities out there who want their website designing free of charge? I am here. I will even go as far as doing some work on professional websites for free if I have to. If it means me being able to gain some experience and more content for my portfolio, then so be it. You can view my portfolio at sarwill.co.uk if you’re interested in me doing any web development work for you. Feel free to contact me with any questions of queries.
