As things have been a bit slow work-wise, I thought I’d revisit some of the freelance agents that are around. One was Beetroot Consulting. I registered on their site and sent my resume.

Today I got an email back:

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your interest in Beetroot.  We have carefully reviewed your details and we do not feel you are quite right for what we are looking for at this time.

The clients we represent have very specific needs and as we result of this we need to be very selective as to who we bring in for interview.

Good luck with your search.

Kind regards

So just to be clear, someone with over 18 years experience and a product of one of the best design schools in the world isn’t quite what they’re looking for?

What are they looking for if not for people with talent, experience and drive? Maybe God? Or perhaps they actually don’t have any experience in the industry and have just come from a general recruitment background and don’t know the first thing about design?

And they clearly don’t know how to word an email either.

Guess I’ll see the companies I used to work with and kept me constantly busy.

I’m going to talk about this on a podcast very soon, but just thought I’d put it out there.

Not too sure about the new keyboards. Not as ‘solid’ looking as the previous white keyboard – and for someone who’s on the keyboard all day, not too sure.

Also not too sure about the new iMacs either. Just seem to be a refresh instead of something new.

Mmmmmm.

Apple meant innovation, but not this time round.

Currently doing a course on Final Cut Pro 6 editing. If I pass the exam on Saturday, I’ll be one of the first people in Australia to be certified by Apple to use the program. Woo hoo!

Hopefully it’ll mean more work and more money.

It wasn’t me, but I wish it was.

Think I prefer the second one.
