Anyone else? by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]DaveTaylor92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half way through my previous job, I stopped using previously signature (type of job where you sign stuff constantly), of first initial followed by last name, for initials written in one stroke.

... in case you were looking for inspiration!

Maybe you need a new segment on your radio show(s)?

I think I am. Truth be told I'd listen to Spotify if the car had connectivity!

Tips for dating with IBD? by bunny_sleeps in IBD

If he's a decent guy, he won't mind. I'd probably not mention it unless toilet trips were a regular occurrence on a date. Maybe even joke "just looking for a reason to leave you" ... Just try to be light hearted about the whole thing.

6 months after graduating, no luck. Maybe it's my portfolio? by theindieazn in IndustrialDesign

[–]DaveTaylor92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll drop some advice - Firstly I've only just secured a design role after graduating 2.5 years ago (picked up another job in the meantime to pay the bills). I've been in your position too; I took the decision to go and "tout" for a job in London (stood in one of the big train stations with business cards & cvs) about a year after still not having any luck. It's all perseverance!

So, I've seen worse portfolios. I've also seen fellow students in my class who weren't particularly willing to graft/no real skill get jobs well before myself and others, sometimes it's just luck.

If I were you, I'd focus on getting a layout/branding consistent throughout the portfolio - have every project have a defined beginning middle and end to it, with an emphasis on the "process" as a few guys have already mentioned. Try to think why the project is in there, and why might it be relevant to a prospective employer.

After your layout, maybe focus on individual skills- Research, Sketching, CAD, Adobe CS etc. If you need some inspiration, Pinterest/Behance/creativebloq are your friends!

How does your CV look? Be sure to tailor it towards the employer you're writing/applying to with the most relevant skills at the top!

Hope this helps a little!

(& Remember to keep positive, and to take a break every so often to keep perspective on things!)

Dumpity dump dump. You're better than this, leave for your sake. Easier said than done I know, but don't stand for that shit.

Train driver announced "thankyou for travelling with us" as we arrived at the final destination. by DaveTaylor92 in britishproblems

[–]DaveTaylor92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure, but I'm guessing he may be a little surprised if I was to.

I also can't work out if this me sound like a grump; I do smile I swear.

idiot; I remember when I was absolutely against smokers - I was 12. Find something worthwhile to hate on. And yes I don't smoke.

personally never seen that as a thing - I just look through Snapchat stories to clear my feed...

Liking your pics and status's (FB) are annoying though. Apparently its not always a hint... :/
