    Being a second year student looking for a one year placement in the advertising industry is not easy. Having talked to a fellow one-year-wannabe student about how he tackles the seemingly impossible task he replied he had: baked a cake with his cover letter printed on top, sent a pay-as-you-go mobile with only his number to the CEO and tied his name and number between two trees across the street of an agency. I admire his enthusiasm, but is this the right way forward? Are cover letters just old fashioned and boring?

    why not a well written well layed out letter. showing both copyrighting and art directional skills. accompanied with some of your work which should hopefully show great ideas...

    if someone sent me a cake. i'd eat it.
