I really doubt they can be bothered with a cd when sifting through all the applications

James North · 21 May 2005, 15:40 (Ref:1306125)

Nah, They'l want to find the best of the applicants they get. If that means inspecting CD Galley portfolios, then that is what'l they do.

kdr · 21 May 2005, 17:25 (Ref:1306205)

a lot of cd's that arrive sometimes have small thumbnails on the jewel case to make it look more professional and illustrative of whats contained anyway. i send out a lot of cd's myself, so you'd certainly not overlook them when they're being sent to you. as james says...best work will always win thru.

I think my CV is quite diverse for my age... mind you being licsensed to drive a forklift truck, probably isn't going to help me much in this instance

And who you references are! I do know of one person who has had an interview scheduled, they did work for LAT for a while so they will be in with a good chance.

Got my rejection from Sutton this morning, oh well, had to give it a try! Not to worry, off to Thrux tomorrow for the GTs wooohoo!

I applied for the job of junior photographer for Sutton a few years ago, after hearing about the job through a local photographer who went on to work there. Like someone said they ask you to identify as many motorsport personalities as possible, from drivers to team leaders and officials. I had a brief chat with Keith Sutton (and goggled at the signed Ayrton Senna print on his office wall). The upshot was that I was offered the job, but the money at the time was significantly less than £12k and I decided I couldn't afford to accept it.

With the benefit of hindsight I probably should have bitten their arm off for the job and got myself in debt for a while.

Good luck to anyone from here who's gone for it. Unfortunately I saw the advert a day too late, otherwise I might have had another crack at it myself

Likewise.

I'l just have to console myself with representing Pitpass.com at Silverstone next week. Still at least it's progress helps to bulk up the portfolio with published pics etc.

forzaf1 · 30 May 2005, 19:38 (Ref:1315001)

My rejection letter should turn up tomorrow then. I haven't received anything but as its bank holiday then its probably delayed.

Anyone else heard anything? I havent had anything back yet, anybody been lucky from here?

James North · 8 Jun 2005, 11:51 (Ref:1323119)

I haven't heard anything yet.

So I guess they haven't got to my application yet. Dunno if that means I'm still in the running, or if the amount of applications is so huge, they haven't even opened mine yet.

GeeBee2 · 11 Jun 2005, 20:23 (Ref:1325877)

Got my rejection letter plus my pictures and CD today.

Good luck to everyone else who applied.

forzaf1 · 11 Jun 2005, 20:34 (Ref:1325880)

I haven't received anything back from them but it looks like they are getting through them now and it can't be long now in waiting.

My guess is if your successful and they want an interview they will contact you by phone and those people would know by now.

Alex

forzaf1 · 29 Jun 2005, 16:37 (Ref:1343068)

Are there people still out there like myself who have yet to hear back from Sutton? Its been a month and a half now.

brickkicker · 29 Jun 2005, 18:08 (Ref:1343177)

I still havent had anything back, spoke to someone there and was told that they are still sorting out the short list and will be in touch within a few weeks

SeaneyC · 29 Jun 2005, 21:32 (Ref:1343319)

Sounds promising if you've not heard anything yet then! Good luck guys

James North · 30 Jun 2005, 12:50 (Ref:1343802)

I got my responce through this morning.

And I'm very highly and pleasantly surprised to announce that I am on the interview short list.

SeaneyC · 30 Jun 2005, 13:20 (Ref:1343830)

Very well done James! All the best for the interview - Better get revising those famous faces by the sounds of things!

forzaf1 · 30 Jun 2005, 16:28 (Ref:1343974)

Congratulations. I think a point to remember here is that even if it doesn't go that well, you must be good enough for Sutton to want an interview.

Alex

brickkicker · 30 Jun 2005, 18:15 (Ref:1344047)

I got my letter as well today, just got to wait now till they call for us. Guess it will be over the next few weeks.

forzaf1 · 1 Jul 2005, 07:12 (Ref:1344467)

Got my letter this morning from Sutton. The waiting starts.......

Alex

thebear · 1 Jul 2005, 14:00 (Ref:1344749)

As the starter of this thread I am happy to see that it has been of some use and hopefully it will find someone a job that they really enjoy!

MikeHoyer · 3 Jul 2005, 17:47 (Ref:1346171)

I've got an interview aswell, so they must be interviewing a few people...
