Some advertising agencies/companies look for those that can prove their creativity. You cannot just go over and tell them “please give me chance. If you train me, i will do very well”. Without any evidence of what you have designed in the past? No way. They will not listen to you because they are there to make money and not to lose the one they already have on you. Show them evidence, no matter how untidy the work looks. From there, they will judge if you can improve if hired or given formal training.
Why do they need a self taught creative designer instead of a formally trained designer? The truth is that most advertising jobs like graphics and animations need more of practical than theoretical formal training. If you have been learning on your own, they know you are more practical.
They also avoid designers that are too professional for full-time jobs. Do you know why? Because they require higher salaries. Most advertising professionals find it difficult to work for any company full-time they know they can earn better on their own anyway.
So. Who is a design professional? They are those that are good at what they do but most importantly have clients they are already working for. This means that in order to get advertising jobs in nigeria,it is not just enough to be good, you have to be serving some clients before you are free to start acting like a professional. If you call yourself a professional and start charging high fees or salaries without having good client base, no one will like to hire you.
Remember,as a designer, the first serious question a client will ask you when they meet you for a service is “can i see the jobs you have done before?” If you do not have, can you convince them verbally? It will be very hard unless you promise free trial service. Even if you show them one, will one job make them trust you with a job? May be,if it is extremely good.
That is exactly how advertising agencies will evaluate you before they hire you. They need proof. That boils down to practise, practise, practise! Do voluntary jobs for people. Design the things you love during your free time.
If you love design but do not know how to do it,get the software and start learning.
Once you have a good proof,all you need is to make sure you stay in-tune with your job news source. Here,our consultants post jobs immediately they are sent to us. We also use content 2.0 technology to allow companies post their jobs on this website immediately they are available. This has made our visitors to be the first group of people to get most vacancy news before others.
When you hear about interesting advertising vacancy,apply immediately, clearly stating how they can view your job. We advice that you upload them on Youtube and give recruiting companies links to them. If they have any doubt on ownership, they will ask you to send them a hard copy. All you need to do is burn them out on a CD and send to them.
Please make sure you are the true designer because you will have to undergo some designing test before they can give you the job.
Advertising marketing does not need all these.They only need good presentation and business pitching skills. Looks, communication skills and knowledge of the topic are also important. They normally pay commissions for advertising sales jobs.
