The job is a midweight position meaning that it is
required/recommended to have experience in the industry. The description lists
the companies Twitter as well showing their connections with the online
world. It also states that applicants
need their own transport, something I do not have and would need before
applying if I wished to be considered. The job is also too far for me to apply
for currently without moving.

agency who are renowned for being the pioneers in creativity in how they
approach and tackle their projects. The suitable candidate will have previous

as exposure to some truly exciting and creative projects, the company its self
has plenty of additional perks and prides its self on being an extremely

This job has a very short description in comparison to other
ones I have looked at, it does not list many qualifications needed either. This does not offer much information for the
position and what is required of an applicant. From what it does state, I do not
qualify for the position as I do not have experience with high end retail
clients and is something I would need before applying, I would also need to be
closer to London.

Exciting opportunity for a budding Photoshop visualiser to really make their mark.This design company specialises in the branding and packaging of drinks from traditional spirits, to international wines and premium international brands.
They urgently need a Photoshop visualiser who can produce slick 2D and 3D, (in Photoshop not a 3D package), visuals of bottles and labels from drawn scamps. Minimal experience is required however you must be able provide a strong folio of examples and be able to work from a loose brief, adding your own creative input to perfect the finished visual.
Great opportunity for an aspiring Photoshop wizard with tenacity.
This job also has a short description, the description is also written very informally “Great opportunity for an aspiring Photoshop wizard with tenacity.” However the job does have low qualifications and would appear to be easy to qualify for. This would be a good job to apply for at a low entry level to then gain experience. Although because not much detail is given in the description it gives the impression they didn’t think too much about it when posting it, which then makes you question it further, again I am too far away to consider a job this far away.

Middleweight LevelWe are looking for a creative designer with previous experience working in a brand focused environment. This is an opportunity for the right individual to make this role 'their own’. We are looking for someone with ambition and enthusiasm to become an important member of the team. The role will involve working across print and digital projects; any coding experience is desirable as would be experience working with CMS’s.
Based in north London, we are a creative collection of individuals, we work together as a team across a range of disciplines with a variety of clients. We encourage individual thinking and are looking for an intelligent creative to join this fast paced and vibrant environment.
Working in brand communication creativity is paramount; we are, as a team, always looking for that special ‘idea’.
You have an eye for detail, 3+ years experience working in a similar field and - digital would be preferable but as mentioned above - creativity is King. (Some flash & HTML experience would also be important).
Evidence working with integrated identity / branding projects is important as would any previous App experience.
If this sounds like you, you’re a team player, looking for a position where you get to make a difference (and can appreciate a good coffee) then please apply with your CV and DIGITAL examples of work.
This job has a well written description with a touch of informality near the end “(and can appreciate a good coffee)” This is the type of company that I would feel most comfortable applying for and possibly working for. Without use of a list it clearly and neatly lists the points that an applicant should have. The job is based in North London, which in regards to where I am currently, is too far away for me to possibly work there, and would not be financially viable for myself currently.

• A team player
• School: Graphic Design degree or equivalent
• 1-2 years working experience.

Where specific UK qualifications are required we will take into account overseas equivalents.
Please note, any salary/salary range and benefits described in this advertisement, are indicative only. The actual salary offered to the successful candidate may vary and will be dependent on skills and experience.
From the payment and the description and requirements they
desire the job is primarily aimed at junior level designers. However, they want
ones with a degree or equivalent in design, something I do not have. The
location of this job is in central England, North East of London, which is
still too far away for me to apply for. However the other requirements are
achievable, such as being proficient in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and MS
office. The job also requires the applicant to have good English, both spoken
and written, while this isn’t something I would worry about I would have to be
sure to check my documents or any information for any minor errors as it could
make the difference between getting the job and not. This is a job I could see
myself applying for in future, or something similar.
From analysing these jobs and looking through openings I think
I now have a better idea of what is expected of me and what other companies do
and expect. Of the jobs I have written about there are a few I would seriously
consider/apply for. These are the ones that had a good clear display of
information and a slight informality about them.
I like this opening because it displays information neatly
and cleanly, it’s very basic and easy to understand as well. The slight hint of
informality “looking for a position where you get to make a
difference (and can appreciate a good coffee)” Which is what pulled my
attention, as well as the text formatting, using italics and bold to make the description
stand out from everyone else’s.
This posting also has a friendly atmosphere about it;
however, the layout of the description is rather poor in contrast to the last
one I mentioned. Whether it’s the
informality or the beer fridge and pizzas, I would strongly consider applying
for this.
The very last one I analysed is another I would seriously
consider because of the layout, however I am very under qualified for this
position, but it would act as something I can work towards, and is somewhere I
would like to be eventually, career wise.
*Virtually all of the jobs listed were in and around London.
London would not be viable for me because it is too far away for me to move to
currently with my financial situation. The cost of living in and around London
is also much higher than other places.
