I think I need to find work in FL

[Crimson]

Is booby island looking for anymore graphic designers or is that were we retire like Avalon for Graphic designers?


Well, my wife went to Florida and enjoyed enough of it that she wants to live there. I guess I can kiss this job that could have lasted 30 years good bye and stuggle to find another job in FL. I guess I am needed to find work in Tampa? Do you have to be a premadonna to get into a good design house? I know greyghost advises against it but there has got to be something down there I could find. Any positive advise?

Boobie Island is the Valhalla for Graphic Designers.

you might have to move down here at first to get something. that is what I had to do. my wife got a teaching first down here. I had talked to a lot of people before that and everyone wanted me to come in firat. Check me out, etc. I can understand that to an extent.

check this site, they have a good amount of jobs listed everyweek.

also

http://www.createmagazine.com/

they have a job bank and have a good amount on there.

I think Tampa's paper is the Tribune also. you can look on their site.

but your going to be near Sarasota too right? Well they have Ringling's College there... one of the best design colleges in the nation. you might be able to contact them for some help. worth a shot. Don't forget about St Pete and Clearwater. It's all in the same area. Brandenton is a big town also.

Of course keep and eye on monster.com.

good luck.

Thanks defjoe - Maybe i could meet you sometime and buy you a real drink. For now go to the unofficial GDF bar and have some cookies with a tall glass of milk.

sounds like a plan to me.

do you two have any kids?

[Crimson]

Do I have kids - ha that's funny. The only thing I do better than graphic design is make babies. I have 4. They would love the beach.

[defjoe]

4... whoa!
