		<title>How can I get CDs to notice me and my work?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jancy!
This is me writing from Melbourne, Australia.
I&#8217;m struggling to get work experience in agencies here. I&#8217;ve done the cold calling and emailing but its hard to get a reply. Although some agencies have been really polite and nice.

		<title>What should I put on my business card?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jancy,
I am currently a creative advertising student, and recently I have been attending many advertising related events. I quickly realized that having a business card handy to give out is almost mandatory.

		<title>Can a director who has made ads become an agency creative?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Jancy: Am I going about my job hunt the right way?
A little background on myself first though.  After finishing school (undergrad in English Lit &#38; Business then post-grad in Film) I found myself working as a cinematographer for a video game developer.  What I was really doing was directing the cut scenes for next generation games.  ...]]></description>

		<title>Making the jump from Ireland to Canada</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Ladies,
How are you both?
My question is: Has advertising in Canada been affected by the recession as bad as other places in the world?
I&#8217;m from Ireland. Things have been fairly bad here. With dramatic budget and job cuts, the realm of advertising here has suffered big time. I luckily kept my job. Due partly to the fact I&#8217;m a junior ...]]></description>

		<title>Ads for TV shows and movies&#8230; too easy for my book?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a junior trying to break into the ad world, and I was wondering if it&#8217;s okay to do ads for a TV show or a movie in my book. I have some amazing ideas for some TV shows, stuff that would be infinitely better than the &#8220;Watch House Mondays 8/7 Central on Fox&#8221;.
