Richard Birket

It could be my spam filters, or something else, but I'm struggling to get support from CGArchitect. We signed up for the $599 job posting bundle and have had reasonable success with a couple of our adverts, but the third one (for a motion graphics/post production/after effects person) has had few applicants. I therefore need to re-design/re-word the job description. However, now that my job description has lapsed, it seems I am unable to edit/duplicate the advert, or create a new one. The bundle gives me three job postings and a duration of 6 months. I guess I assumed we could have up to three job postings live at any one time for 6 months. Is this not the case? I am having no luck getting replies from support on this, so wondered if the forum might be a better place to look? Many thanks Rich

A very good question, and something I have been trying to answer for nearly 20 years. Person: "So, Richard, what do you do for a living then?" Me: "It's called Architectural Visualisation" Person: "Oh, ok" (smiles and walks away or changes the subject)

We have generally concluded that good clients come through word of mouth and recommendation. If we are approached through our website (in other words, via a general Google search), it is rare that this will turn into a live job. This is chiefly because architectural visualisation 'companies' are 10-a-penny these days and its very easy for somebody to find somebody who will do an image for peanuts. You could run one of those web-ads where you can 'have a photorealistic architectural visualisation for only £175!' of course ;-)
