VRaw eNewsletter
Did you know that John Safran got his first job in advertising by cleaning the front windows of an ad agency every day for a week? (They didn't ask him to - he just turned up out the front with a squeegee, kind of like those guys at traffic lights, but better dressed). Fortunately, there's no need for people to debase themselves in this fashion anymore (sorry John) to get noticed. V-Raw is more than a civilised, MySpace-based version of South Melbourne window washing - it's a path to creative employment.
Phase one: V-Raw teamed up with businesses like Rolling Stone, YEN, Frost Design and, yes, Right Angle Publishing, to offer employment and internships to young creatives (hi Laura - thanks for crushing our egos with your web 2.0 intermenet genius). Phase two applications are about to launch, with positions on offer at Cosmopolitan, Channel V and The Harbour Agency (think The Grates, Bit By Bats) among others.
In short, dump the squeegee and sign up for the VRaw eNewsletter. Apart from giving you updates on phase two, it will tell you how to create a ‘Trump-stumping' resume, give you a chance to win cold-hard, and report on the phase one recruits (one of whom will apparently be taking over Frost Design any day now)
