“I’m feeling a little temporary about myself…”

By Ry M. Sal on October 13, 2008 10:52 AM | 0 Comments

A favorite line from a favorite John Cusak timeless…. but I think we all are.

I have been told since the beginning of my time that I am not good with the numbers. And although, as a graphic designer, I work with measurements and equations on a daily basis… The understanding of THE MARKET seems to escape me. Admittedly, I flunked out of economics, but I didn’t really try to GET IT. I took more design studies to suffice and had a grand ol’ time.

Now I am paying the price… most of what is going on is wah-wah to me and as a small biz owner, that is BAD. As we happily hum along (singing our Breakwater song), the evil cloud of NOT GETTING IT has not yet found our little (signless) hiding place… we will take cover, and hum a little lower…

We are currently reviewing portfolios for a Freelance Graphic Designer position here at Breakwater… I must say that we have received gobs of impressive resumes and samples. We plan to start reviewing early next week in the hopes of filling the position soon.

One submission, in particular, stood out… in an intro email glaring out at us was…

“I don’t have a large ego when it comes to commercial art”

What?
Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

After hashing around about what this sentence is implies, we have decided that we have ENORMOUS EGOS when it comes to commercial art and therefore, not a good fit. Although we appreciate the need to stand out among the other applicants–this goes directly into the “what-not-to-do-for-work” file.
