For those not in the know I have been job hunting.
I
have worked for 7+ years part-time at a local school providing after
school care, before school care, substitute teacher, and as a float in
the classrooms. While I have had many fond memories of working at this
school and am very thankful that they hired me when no one else would
take the chance when I was 18 [I was trying to avoid fast food] I want
something new.
So I thought I would type down what I am basically looking for and maybe someone reading this might have a tip for me.
I am looking for a job that will pay at least 25,000-35,000 a year [or more if you wish].
I want something were I can work on a team and have some input and
I would love to be in the creative field [Dream job would be
working for one of the studios designing characters and concept art.]
I am an artist and really want a job that is able to reflect that.
So what can I offer to the person or company hiring me? Plenty, let me prove it.
I
work hard and with a lot of focus. As soon as I know what is expected
of me I jump and make sure that it is done in a timely manner but also
so that it is done right the first time. I can take and give direction
really well and I actually like constructive criticism. Especially if it
improves the work that I am doing. I have worked in a team environment
for years, but also solo when it comes to making art so either way is
fine for me.
I can work both digitally and traditionally. I have working
knowledge of PC and MAC systems as well as photoshop, illustrator, word,
excel and indesign. I also know most if not all the art supplies by heart because I have used them many times.
I already have plans in the future for when
i finally get that full-time
job; like send gifts/ thank you's to the people who brighten and inspire
my day, get the WII and the PS3, etc. Mainly I really want a full time
job so that I will be able to support myself while not being a burden on
others. I want to be proudly say that I earned the money for that.
If any one has a suggestion let me know and I will try and re-pay
that kindness. Have a good night and rest of the week. -Michelle
