Cliff Notes: Trying to get a part time job in the south or east bay 16-25hrs a week.

Hey guys, well the time has come for me to add a part time position to the work I'm already doing. Currently networking with whoever I can and scouring Craigslist and other job boards.

For the past 3yrs I've been working at a startup created by myself and a guy I went to school with. We primarily do work such as the following: web design, web development, responsive design, UI design, video production, video editing, color correction, motion graphics, web video deployment, graphic design. We cater to clients in the tech, health/medical and sports-based retail businesses.

Anways, the reason I'm doing this is I need to add a little bit of income stability to the unpredictable world known as freelance. Sometimes I'm totally swamped with project work and I'll be at my computer 12+hrs a day easy… but at other times slow when waiting to close a contract or responding to RFP's.

Basic requirements:

-Part-time
-2 days/wk or 16-25hrs/wk
-Located in south/east bay but flexible
-Doesn't HAVE to be media related
-Weekend will be difficult since my production work usually lands on a Sat/Sun.

So, I'm totally okay with working somewhere thats not a media/tech related job if it comes down to it. I'd actually prefer it that way seeing how much time I already spend at a computer, but not going to be too picky thats for sure.

I've worked jobs in retail, IT, manufacturing, security as well as multimedia that I'm involved in now. I also have about 9 years of experience working on Subarus doing maintenance & repairs and installing aftermarket parts. Considering that I won't shy away from something in the automotive field.

Some of my previous employers:

George P. Johnson
Gillig
Global Entertainment Security
YesVideo
Motorola

Education summary:

Video Post-Production Certificate from Bay Area Video Coalition (San Francisco)
BA Multimedia Option from CSUEB (Hayward)
AA Liberal Arts from Ohlone College (Fremont)


I know we have a lot of people here on this board from many different professions so I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw this out there. If you know of any part-time positions at your work or somewhere else you heard of I'd greatly appreciate if you could forward me the contact info (via PM) of whoever I need to speak to.

Thanks!

Just had my 2nd interview with Any Mountain, should find out in a few days if I got it *fingers crossed*

How was it working with GPJ? My company did some work for them recently, got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

Wasn't too bad, had some funny coworkers. Long hours on and off site. I mainly just had to handle getting software installed / printers configured / other equipment set up and ready for our registration booths at trade shows.

 

So got my new hire paperwork today from Any Mountain, turning it all in tomorrow so looks like I should be set.

edit: btw... stoked!
