LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB

Mark M · 12-20-2000, 02:51 PM

First of all, let me say I [b]did not[/b] get fired for posting on this board so much the last few days. I did not get fired at all. The reason I have posted so much lately is because: 1) I have all of my work done; 2) I have been strangely motivated lately. Also, there is no monitoring software used by my company, so it wouldn’t matter anyway. :)

I am looking for a new job for a number of reasons.
1. The company I work for was recently purchased and my position is under question. They call it “streamlining.” I call it “firing those they think they don’t need.”
2. My boss is incompetent, yet will never get fired. This is not that “my boss sucks” kind of thing. I like her as a person. But she knows [b]nothing[/b] about what we do here (printing). I’m curious on how she got the job, as is everyone who has to deal with her. Her boss, however, is much like Carl Peterson: he will never admit he made a mistake in hiring someone.
3. No room for advancement. I’m pretty much stuck where I am.

My qualifications:
1. Worked in printing industry for four years (three in pre-press and one in print-production. I currently do some design work, I handle all print-shop purchasing and develop all print schedules).
2. Knowledge of the complete printing process, from initial concept to finished product.
3. Experience with Quark, PageMaker, MSWord, Excel, Photoshop (some) and a little Illustrator, all on Macintosh.
4. Strong writing and editing skills
5. Knowledge of AP style.
6. Dependable and dedicated worker who learns very, very quickly.

I know I’ll receive a few colorful and creative job opportunities, but I am serious about this. I have checked Monster.com, the [i]Star[/i], thingamajob and a few others and, to be honest, haven’t found much here in Kansas City.

If any of you know someone looking for someone with my qualifications, please let me know either by this board, or e-mail me at mmdye919@aol.com (I can’t believe I’m giving that out, but oh well! It will only be valid for another month or so anyway. Easy on the spam, please! :D ) Also, I just can’t accept anything under $12.50 an hour...I can’t afford to take a cut in pay (not yet, at least).

Thanks in advance for any help!
