This means we do not consider applicants or CV's supplied by recruitment agencies.

Video design competition
We are expanding our work with video and currently unable to resource all this internally. This may be an opportunity for a talented designer who enjoys making videos to secure ongoing work. To date the examples we have seen in recent job applicant portfolios have been long and boring. This may be as a result of project work. So we have decided to supply a suggested script and outline creative ideas to any designer interested in producing a one minute Flash video. We will provide payment for any we wish to use in future, and ongoing video work for the designer with the best video. For further details contact rachel @ cornishwebservices.co.uk
