Job Searching

Since I decieded to go back to photography, I haven't been job searching to much lately. Besides taking pictures, I'm pretty good with designing layouts using layout programs like QuarkXpress and also Illustrator and Photoshop. I'be been using some of these programs for almost as long as I've been doing photography. I first got into the digital photography revolution in the early to mid 90's using cameras that use to store images on floppy disks, with 256 colours, we've come a long way since. I digress.

Well last week, I applied for another job that I found on Craigslist, never heard back from the other photo place, which is good I guess, since their photos were first year student quality at best, and the price reflected that kind of quality. I won't name this new place right now since I don't have the job, but they are a production company and the deparment that I applied for deals with the movie industry, they get produced ads and then convert it to Canadian standards such as spelling, critic quotes, sizing and theatres. Pretty simple, I can do it without too much stress. So anyways, I got called for a interview later that same day that I applied, and got an interview last Friday. I've been stressing all week wondering if they were gonna call me back. I finally got the call about a half hour ago and I have a second interview next Monday.
Sweet.

This is exactly the kind of job I was hopping to get, a simple production job, pays relatively well, doesn't stress me, in a industry I'm actually interested in, and still allows me to do my photography and design on the weekends and evenings.

Well fingers crossed.
