Considerations:
• Think about who your employer could
be; an agency, art director, brand,
celebrity or producer, and tailor your
response accordingly
• Who’s work do you most admire?
• Impassioned targeting - research the
culture of the company or personality
that you are trying to be noticed
by. They vary enormously and your
message should be in keeping with
this.
• Consider how you connect with
heart and mind. People like working
with people they know – how do you
portray a sense of self? For example,
the founders of Innocent have the
van test – they will only give a job to
someone they could happily spend
