Advertising/Finding a PR/Advert agency for a young PR graduate

Question
Dear Glenn,

I would like to find out how to work for a PR/Advertising agency, on long distance basis. I am travelling for over a year now and just in the last few weeks have been to CDN, USA, and JAP before I've arrived in London, UK. I've always had a travel bug in me! Now, when I'm running low on money but already the rest of my non-refundable tickets issued, I'm thinking of taking a quick silly job here in the UK, even though I know that I do well over average in my own profession, if I strike luck in it. It would need to be phone or net based for now. I will definitely work in-office, full time as soon as I finish this RTW trip, in 11 months.  I'm a 24 year old male, graduated in PR and marketing and I would be especially interested in (co)creating Advertising ideas, wording and strategy of adverting campaigns.

Any advice?

Thank you for your time and the expertise you share with the people like me!

Later,

Ota

Hello,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you I just got in from Maine, USA. With the job market so tight everywhere I am sorry to say that find a good job is also difficult. On the other hand with a good portfolio, education, some experience and with youth on your side you should have a better change -- so here is a good sight to do an exhaustive search. Upload your resume and or apply on-line. Be sure to have cover letter and resume in ASCI text and PDF formats. Yes, it is a high tech business finding work these days. Here is the link and I wish you a world of luck!

Expertise

I started in digital graphics in 1989 with a MAC SE30. That little box replaced an 895 pound Compugraphics 7770. It cost me dearly! Tens years before that, I was focused on quality paste-up mechanicals using Journeyman methods. I am an accomplished typographer being able to us type as form and function. Today, I operate OS X on MACs at work and XP-Professional on my PC at home. I can answer any question with respect to Adobe Creative Suites and QuarkXpress. I am confident I can help you quickly! A lot quicker than dropping your question to a forum. I am also a digital file troubleshooter. I make designers files work within the confines of computer-to-plate printing systems.

Experience

Expert in the areas of: digital design, spreadsheet formulation, database formulation using FileMaker Pro, digital and conventional photography, file conversion (mac-to-pc and back), concepts on creating high resolutions PDFs, QuarkExpress and Adobe Creative Suite. I hold a BA degree that bears Industrial Education and Technology, School of Industrial Arts, specializing in Graphic Communication. I've kept up on technological changes for the past 20 years!
