Strategies from PPP I can and should deploy when applying for jobs:
- Making a specific approach directed at a studio I might want to work with
- Personalise my emails e.g. tone of voice
- Emphasise the value exchange between myself and the employer
- Photograph work myself!
- Create a project which is a bit different and communicates what I about
- Do not introduce myself as a student, say I am Graphic Designer
- Know my value and how I can add value to the employer.
- Be confident and comfortable about talking about my work!
- Send products prior to an email which could make an employer remember myself amongst the rest of the applicants.
- Tailor my portfolio to a client
- Utilise networks with students on other courses - photographers etc
- Have a master portfolio file that I can tailor based on the studio/ job I am applying for
- In a more practical sense, make sure any digital elements you have are up to date and functional so that they work.
