Fresh grad seeking job as a creative in Singapore
ckoo 10 pencils | Thu, 2009-02-19 11:50I graduated end of last year, and now I'm looking to start my career as a creative in Singapore. I've pretty much exhausted my list of contacts (which isn't all that long) in the industry, and none of them can hire due to orders from up above. So, if anyone can help me with my quest to get into an agency, you will forever be listed under 'Awesome' in my books.
Anyway... as they say, hard sell for hard times:
Portfolio: http://www.humyo.com/F/1003127-365334519
Work experience:
- Interned at DDB Singapore
- Interned at Grey Worldwide
Paper qualifications:
- BComm (Advertising-Creative) with Distinction, top percentile, GPA of 3.8/4.0
- Diploma in Marketing Communications
- Diploma in Visual Communication with Distinction, GPA 3.24/4.0
Competitions and awards:
- Winner of Best Art Direction and Best Campaign at the RMIT 2008 Graduation Exhibition
- Winner of ICON Awards 2007 for the Advertising category
- Finalist in a bunch of national level design competitions
I'm better at art direction than copywriting, but I have some crazy notion that somewhere, some agency is going to be kind enough to let me run around as a junior copywriter even though I suck, just so I can learn more about what I'm worse at. I'd be happy to make a career out of either.
Cheers!
