Fireworks, Powderfinger, and I Need A Job.

Fireworks, I've discovered in the last few minutes, is a wonderfully friendly and useful app. It allows me to design the kind of website layout, and work in graphics for a website, in a way that would otherwise have taken many times as long writing up the code in dreamweaver and trying to draw a GUI in an environment meant for individual graphics (the GIMP or Photoshop).

Secondly, Powderfinger are awesome. For anyone who doesn't have them, download Waiting for the Sun, Thrilloilogy, and Love Your Way. If you're on my contact list anyway, feel free to leech me for the music ^^

Final word, I seriously need to get a job. I'm in the process of writing a crappy little resume, so can someone either give me a few tips on looking around and getting interviews, or any other related help?

I've been advised by none other than Stan (who should know since he now works and Angus n Robertson, lucky bastard) that you have to chase people down after you give them your resume in order to get interviews.

From my own personal experience - go somewhere your friends work/parents have friends who run the place, because you're more likely to get accepted, in this corrupt world. My mum knows the BD boss, is why i'm there.

Of course not, silly. All my personal merits are entirely unsuited to doing any kind of work, which is somewhat unfortunate, and the reason I'll probably end up in marketing.
