I'm starting this topic so people can use it to announce stuff that's coming up that they could use a little encouragement/advice for. Consider it the positive compliment to My Day Sucked
Anyhoo, I've put in a call in response to an ad that ran this weekend for a graphic designer position at a local magazine.
I don't have *exactly* the skills they requested, though - I've never used Quark for doing layouts, but I have experience with InDesign, which is the Adobe equivalent.
Anyway, I'm hoping if I put together a portfolio of some sample work, and mention in my resume that I'm very fond of learning new things, and that I've been the Art Director for site advertising content on www.reloaded.org for over a year now , that I might have a chance anyway.
My other position of choice that I'm looking into atm is a part-time job as a courier. Not really my job of choice, but I liked my prior delivery job, and as long as they provide the vehicle and the gas, it allows me to study and look for better jobs while still earning money, being part-time.

Good luck with those Tai. Especially the graphic design one you would done well in that one imo since your a great artist so hopefully it works out for ya and maybe you can at least get an interview and show off some of your work.
And same with courier one if the other one doesn't work out, good luck on that one!

Thanks everybody
Not sure I'll get it, I think the graphic design market is really competitive (not sure, never tried to get in it before), but it would be nice if I did get an interview and could maybe get some professional feedback on what I need to improve.

... I just got off the phone with the ad contact (she called me back).
It's a REAL ESTATE magazine. How ironic would that be after getting canned so horrendously by a real estate lawyer?
