Find Me a Job, Get a Free iPod


If you are a reader here in Portland, you may already be aware that I am on the hunt for a job. Anyone else may have already assumed that for whatever reason, or may have had absolutely no idea, nor cared in the slightest bit about my state of employment. No matter what the case, I am indeed looking for a job. I am willing to purchase an iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED for the person who refers me to the job I get hired to. I have created a new page detailing exactly how that works, here.

For simplicity, the content of that page is as follows:

Taking a page from Tijs Vrolix, I am looking for a job, and am willing to compensate the person who finds me that perfect job. How does this work? You forward me job postings, and if I get hired, I will send you an iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED upon the receipt of my third paycheck. Why the (Product) Red? Because Apple contributes $10 from the sale of each (PRODUCT) RED nano to the Global Fund, to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. How can you trust me to follow through on my promise? I guess it’s just that. I trust you to send me only the most fitting job openings, and in return, you trust me to keep my promise of sending you your nano.

iPod nano (product) redWhat kind of work am I interested in? I am looking for an entry level position with a company whose main focus is media of some sort. Ultimately, I am looking for a position as a junior designer. I have previous college coursework and plenty of experience. I am simply looking for that foot in the door to get me started and build up my portfolio. While pay is certainly important - I won’t work for free, or even close to minimum wage - location is even more so. I live in inner NE Portland, Oregon, and don’t care to work outside of the city limits. That means no Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, or Tigard etc… More important than either pay or location however, is the job. Before telling me about a job opening, think if it will be worth your while. If it is not a job that meets the above specifications, or does not match my skills, the chances of me getting hired for that position are slim, thus making your chances of receiving the free iPod quite slim. If you know the specifics of the job, or the employers, and know that it is not a good job, or healthy work environment, please do not send me those openings either.

After reading the above, you would like to submit a job opening that meets these specifications, then please download and read over my CV/Resume. If you still are certain it is a good fit, forward the opening to me at zac@zacparker.com

Or you could buy me one because my other one was stolen by some fucking homeless kid… and I miss it terribly. *hopeful grin*

I know nothing of the graphic design job environment, but I’ll be on the look out, I promise. ;)

While I’d love to have the cash to buy tons of iPods, the premise is that when I find a job, I’ll be able to afford to buy an iPod. Instead of keeping it for myself, I’ll forward it on to the person who finds me a job!

Yes, I get that. But. I really miss my ipod, and i’ve cried myself to sleep every night since its been stolen. Going to work now is arduous because I have to spend a whole 15 minues listening to anything but music; and should someone have music blaring, it makes me sad because some punk ass homeless kid stole mine, and I can’t steal it back.

Erm… Why so unwilling to work outside portland proper?

The decision is tough there… I commute by bike and foot. Occasionally by bus. Because I choose to. It’s not currently necessary for me to have a car, and I don’t care to put myself in a position where having a car would be the most feasible option, such as working out of town. I have been toying with the idea of editing the above, and saying something along the lines of “willing to work in outlying areas only for very special job opportunities”. haven’t made it that far yet…
