Been a long time coming and ye...when do you start?<br /><br />Been a long time coming and yes you've worked hard for it, under the spotlight too (although you chose that). Don't be surprised at some of the comments - wouldn't you be envious of someone in your place?<br /><br />Best of luck. I hope it works out for you. Surely you want that job now, so go get it!

Now Wal has got the chance to prove himself at one of the best agencies in the world - on the other side of the world. <br />Wal has made a very brave decision - not to settle for the mediocre and strive to find a place that pushes the boundaries of creativity. So good on you Walle. <br /><br />Now i just have to sit back and wait for a few smart ass remarks in reply from a few jealous ad folk.

The other way of looking at it, the correct way, is that Wal's got a placement/job trial at probably the most exciting agency in the world right now...it's not like he's going to JWT to dick about on kenco radio ads. Also, it's pretty rare to get hired anywhere straight out of uni/a course without some sort of working trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-16780870190005977632010-03-27T11:57:24.840-06:002010-03-27T11:57:24.840-06:00so after a year you get a placement? you were on p...so after a year you get a placement? you were on placements before hyper island - so what was the pointAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-59024679415568785822010-03-27T08:09:39.694-06:002010-03-27T08:09:39.694-06:00Luucckkkyyyyy! :DLuucckkkyyyyy! :DSarahhttp://frausarah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-74673672893732138242010-03-27T06:03:06.279-06:002010-03-27T06:03:06.279-06:00Great stuff!
