Hi Damien,

Thanks for your interest. The position has not yet closed and no you
are not too old... If you had of said 40 I may have hedged.. :-) Are
you based in Brisbane? I've checked out your url's.. Are you able to
come in and meet with me tomorrow or early next week?
cheers

Hi Damien,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I'm still interested in
interviewing you for the position. My only concern was when you were
able to start (I have to run everything by our Board) - but I think we
can probably work around it.
Essentially, there is a part-time position still available (3 days a
week). With a view to potentially going full-time dependent on the
amount of work we have on / can attract.
We have already filled the other position.
Let me know when you are available to talk..
cheers

Dear Damien,

I am writing with bad news about the position at ----- . The board has
decided to go with a talented young designer from an Asian background
who provides and opportunity for ----- to open up its client base
considerably. (he speaks and writes fluent Cantonese).
Thank you for your interest in ----- and the position. The decision is
not a reflection on your design skills (your portfolio is extensive and
impressive) and I would be happy to consider you for any future
positions that may open up. (and as a young, growing company that is
certainly a possibility).
Thanks again. Best of luck with your future endeavours.
cheers
