Graphic Design/Signage/Printing job recs?
Hi everyone! Me (23) and my gf (24) are planning on moving down to Richmond around January and we are both very excited! I know it’s early but we are starting to look into jobs so that we can secure some prior to moving.
My girlfriend currently works as a graphic designer and admin assistant for a sign place up in Massachusetts while I work as an EEG technician in Fredericksburg. The current problem is that we are worried about my girlfriend finding a position all the way down here since we don’t have a lot of connections.
So, like the title says, I came to this sub looking for any recommendations for jobs in graphic design, signage, brand development, curating, printing, or just something within that realm for her.
At her current job she designs signs and company logos. She mostly uses Adobe Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, and Flexidesign. She also runs meetings, prints in large format (Roland TrueVIS and VersaWorks), laminate prints, and sends lots of emails. She works on a small team and likes what she currently does so she wants something similar.
We understand the job market is like not great right now, but she has a bachelors degree and has also done a looooot of freelance work. While we are younger, we both also have 5 years experience in our respective fields.
Ideally we are hoping to find her a job that pays at least 20/hour and it wouldn’t be super client facing, but again, we understand it’s difficult to find the perfect place.
Anyways, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! We plan on going into the city soon and she plans on going into some places the old fashioned way as well. Thank you all so much!
