Do you guys think that i could get into web design interviews with this sort of background.

 

Im currently doing a web design apprenticeship.

 

im now fluent with xhtml, CSS and javascript incorporation.

 

i always make my website bespoke and never from a template.

 

My big brownie points would come from my photoshop/photography skills which in the past actually got into liverpool tate gallery during 6th form.

 

When in sixth form i studied media production (A2), film studies (A2), theatre studies (A2), photography (AS) and English (AS). All of the following i got high grades in.

 

I would not like to enclose my reasons for having second thoughts on my apprenticeship, contact me directly if you wish to know.

 

Kind regards

Aaron

I dont really have a portfolio, but i guess the idea of this apprenticeship is to build a reputable collection of works for a portfolio. I just know that i know enough to earn more than triple what im getting right now, and get treat with more respect lol

theres a couple of little niggles that need sorting but apart from that, my coding is sound. Im just not as quick as i could be lol. This took the best part of 2 weeks but im new to it so i guess thats ok!

I would suggest creating a little portfolio (even if you just design some websites for made up companies) I would think this is quite crucial to get an interview.

Aaron dude, i think we should both give it a go and the hell outta this company!

thanks for your help on this.

Personally, if i was recruiting on a salaried role, i would want to see a solid portfolio.

 

Have you considered the option of joining a startup company/team for the experience (and they will obviously pay for the time you put in - although you may have to do a test site)

 

I would also recommend you take a look at the Rawdon Lights site, as in IE7 the footer is out of place.
