Graphic Design jobs

[gloop]

Where are they all? I'm looking for work in Birmingham and have only really been able apply for a few because that's all I've seen advertised. I've been unemployed since May and it's getting very frustrating now. I had an interview last week but got a letter turning me down for it today so I'm just fed up I suppose. There seems to be millions of Graphic Designers and hardly any jobs. I'm thinking of moving to London next year and giving it a go there. It's got to be better than here.

Anyway does anyone know of any good websites or anything where I can find jobs?

Thanks!

I'm havin the same problem except i'm looking for marketing jobs. i think uni's lie about employment prospects.

anyway, if you are a graduate too have you thought about graduate recruitment schemes?also try recruitment agencies, and if possible find ones that are specific to graphic design.

heres a few websites

totaljobs.com or co.uk
monster.co.uk

reed recruiment are quite good too.

good luck

Thanks for your suggestions. I graduated about five years ago and have always find it difficult to find jobs. I think it's mainly because there isn't that much where I live. I'm with a recruitment agency and most of the jobs they suggest are too far away really as I don't drive. I use Monster and they do seem quite good. I'll give Total Jobs a go too.

Thanks and good luck! x

The guardian website has a good creative section so I am told.

Gloop, I read in a graphic design magazine afew weeks ago that a good place to start is on your own, do some designs, and sell them to people you know, then get them to let other people know etc. apparently this is the best way to get noticed?
