| August 26, 2008 Jason Showalter Graduated: 2005 Charlottesville, VA 22902 jasonwshowalter@yahoo.com Employer: Boar's Head Inn I just wanted to inform everyone of a position opening up here at Boar's Head Inn, in Charlottesville VA. I am leaving my current job as Graphic/Web Designer and I wanted to let all SMAD grads know about the position, which will be open as of mid to late September. Job duties include web design, advertisement design, collateral and promotional design as well as e-mail marketing. You will have to fill out an online application with our HR department, once the job is posted. It isn't posted as of yet. Charlottesville is a great place to live, and the Inn (which is actually a luxury resort) has some really fun people working here. You will get to work with all the departments (Spa, Sports Club, Golf, General Manager etc)on a weekly basis as well as our external marketing team. This is a great networking job as you will work with local and national media. E-mail me at jason_showalter@boarsheadinn.com if you are interested. |
