Yeah well first off, how awesome is Sindustries 2.0! Gotta pat myself on the back for this one as I’ve rolled this out pretty fast so fast its still a bit … rough around the edges but its pretty much 95% complete.
Now, the first biggest event that happened to me recently was that my role as a web designer was being made redundant from Scottish & Universal Newspapers. I was pretty gob smacked at the fact it was my first stepping stone in my career and I was facing redundancy.
I will admit after the shock was over I was pretty nervous in the fact again I’d have to find a job however after some training from S&UN in regards to self-marketing and job hunting this was a huge help.
Began job hunting as soon as I left and I heard nothing back for ages, then three weeks later I received a phone call for an interview with a company, I was pretty nervous however I was astounded by the level of professionalism and how well friendly they were.
Then I got a phone call with the job offer, I was over the moon! I start on Monday (31st) and the company is based in Edinburgh. I am so lucky for this opportunity considering we are in a economic downturn and jobs are few and hard to come by.
Enough about me, Sindustries is now full of awesome, yeah that’s right awesome.
Now the site is up and running and is looking good expect more design related posts and well… more posts I found the last design was such a hassle it stopped me from posting as much but nothing is going to hold this little web designer back from now on!
The Future of Web Design Tour is coming to Glasgow on the 14th of September and yes I will be there with I can’t wait to see Scottish web designers, developers and other folk all talking face to face none of this talking to an avatar mince person to person interaction its always the best way. I’m looking forward to learning more about siliverlight and Adobe Air however the event as a whole will be good. I’m going take along my digital camera take some pictures from the event and new business cards.

Great news about the job mate!! very happy that you got something in our field, look forward to seeing you at FOWD and seeing your new works!
New site is very different to how I had pictured it would be based on that design you showed me. I like it though the blue sindustries 2.0 banner is very cool !!
