Production/Book Design Assistant Wanted
For: Entry level position, effective nearly immediately, for an independent book publisher in New York City.
Pay: Not so great, but I managed to get by when I had this job.
Disclaimer: This is a slightly premature announcement, and is not particularly official. But if you are a recent college graduate who knows their way around a Mac, or if you just happen to know one, it couldn’t hurt to send me a resumé. I’ll be happy to provide more information as soon as I have it.
Ideal Candidate: Should be willing to work hard and meet deadlines under less than ideal circumstances. Must be able to work with others under a lot of stress. Familiarity with InDesign, Quark, Photoshop, and Illustrator helpful. No artistes or design snobs, please.
Thank you.

Evan! Did you get the Amazon.com gift certificate that we sent you??
Wait! Are you leaving your job?? What happened?
Hi Amanda!
Remember Rik? He’s leaving to become a full-time father. I’m going to be the new Production Manager. Never thought I would be here this soon.
I felt a little guilty accepting your gift certificate, since it was over something so silly as personal differences. But thank you.
I’m busily learning my new responsibilities, which is a little daunting. But I’m looking forward to being able to do stuff like select end pages and binding. Not so wild about having to talk to printers or sales folk . . .
Congratulations Rik! This is wonderful news.
Not sure if this is still available, but I am really interested in Book Design and don’t mind “less than ideal” working conditions.
