Want a job?
« on: February 23, 2005, 12:01:58 PM »
The company I work for is hiring four or five graphic designers. If you're in northern Utah and interested, let me know.

I can draw stick figures with remarkable crudeness and don't want to live in Utah. Does that qualify me?

I have experience with graphic design no formal training.

I'm interested if the pay is as good or better than what I'm making now.

Would they be interested in me (with experience but no formal training) and What is the starting pay?

:D

they give you rats on sticks, just like anywhere else. But get this, they let you COOK the rat before you eat it. Isn't that great?

Why would I want to take all the yummy goodness out of a rat by putting it in fire?

well, I'm kind of interested. A lot depends on how graphic designers are treated by your company.
But sure, send me some details.

I'm sending 42 and Skar an email with the available positions and descriptions. As for not having direct training, this company doesn't care too much about that as long as you can do the job.

Are you sure about that? The descriptions are asking for a BA in art (one says it would prefer a MFA). And they all ask for 3 or more years experience.

Since that isn't a problem for me. Where do I send my resume?

It needs to go to Kristine Widtfelt and Eric Clegg, but the best way of doing that is to send it to me. Resume and cover letter; they don't need any portfolio pieces until the interview, as far as I know.

Rican, I just saw your post. I'll send you the job descriptions.

Ya a Capatin drink Puerto Rican living in a state with a bunch of white mormon people.  Sounds like a party to me.
