The Media Jobs Field Narrows In On My Art Specialty
When you search for a job In the advertising jobs field to you head to the printed help wanted ads? Is your special talent in the media jobs arm of marketing, and if so how do you wade through the myriad of openings that are close but not qualifiers. Unless you have some special power you’d like to share let me tell you what I’ve done when it was time to move on or a project closed up and it was time to reduce the staff at an advertising company.
My talent is as a sketch artist. While I’m proficient at other forms of drawn art and mechanical drawing I like to sketch and caricatures are my absolute greatest talent. I’ve been told that my work is some of the most realistic people have seen especially when doing public figures. Most people are spot on with who the caricature is with little thought or hesitation. Since I like that particular niche the newspaper ads don’t do me any good. I use the on-line data base services of marketing employment specialists.
My CV spells out exactly what I do best and want to do for an employers advertising job. A good recruiter and a good data base gets me matched up with media jobs and projects that are specifically looking for my talent. I don’t hear, sorry you’re not quite what we wanted” it more like “great, you’re EXACTLY what we wanted” and we go on to a great stint of employment without uncertainties or apologies.
