The Evendens

It seems like I've been looking for a job for a year, and well, it's been just about a year now!  Recently this has gotten very frustrating for me because I've been applying for pretty much anything that has come along.  Most of the jobs out there have nothing to do with my degree which is sad to me seeing how long it took me to get it, but I'm applying anyway.  I've had some interviews and been told I'm over qualified for positions have come up empty handed.  

If you remember back to this post and this post, you'll remember that I went on an interview last fall with a magazine called Hilton Head and beyond.  This was a graphic design job and one that I was very interested in.  Well, I didn't get the position, they decided not to hire anyone at that time, however, I've just been in contact with them again this week about the position!  They have me doing a project as part of the interview process this time.  They've given me sort of a fake task to complete and have given a deadline for it.  So this weekend I've been working on 2 ad designs and a 4 page magazine spread.  I'm really hoping this job works out as I would love to have this position.

Right before this position opened up I decided that I was getting tired of waiting around for a job and I was going to try and get my own graphic design business up and running.  I've been working on getting a website with some of my work up and have made a few contacts.  At the very least I hope to get some freelance work rolling in.  I've also been meeting with some friends and taking a lot of pictures in the hopes of also doing some photography on the side.  These are a few pictures of my friend Ellen's little girl that I did this week.
