I would really like to find a work placement with an advertising agency. I have tried the normal routes to no avail. I think I have what it takes to succeed in advertising and if not you get someone for free whose coffee making, filling and photocopying skills are fantastic.
I am a 39 year old with no qualifications but plenty of life experience. I left school at 16 and joined the Army (not very creative i know) but i was bullied at school and realised i needed to toughen up to make ready for the cut throat world of work. Since leaving the army I worked my way up to an area manager through a mixture of guile, lateral thinking and self awareness, I also follow the adage of don't kick anyone on the way up or they'll kick you harder on the way back down again.I have been running my own business for 4 years and I now want to do something that I will enjoy not just earn a living from.
I'm very creative, I DJ at a good club standard (no I don't have a pony tail or a midlife crisis),believe me the previous industry I worked in you don't get anywhere without being creative and I also took the diagonal thinking test and scored high on both the linear and lateral thinking parts.
could anyone please point me in the right direction.
