I have recently moved to Savannah from Valdosta, GA and I am on the lookout for a company that could utilize my Graphic Design experience. Before moving I worked for a large wide-format printing company in the Valdosta area doing billboards/banners/logos/wrap designs/layouts/contour cut rigid material designs as well as prepress.

Entrepreneur Searching For Opportunities

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 22:40:41 -0400

I want to thank the many business people that have responded to my ad. My new partner and I are off and running. However, our new venture will take time to begin generating significant revenue. In the meantime, as always, I am interested in additional opportunities. So to save you time, let me be clear about what sorts of opportunities do and do not interest me:

Interested in:
--Business ownership opportunities
--Special projects, or limited-time/limited-scope opportunities
--Non-profits (strong background within and servicing 501(c)(3) organizations)

Not for me:
--Anything long-term that does not involve ownership
--A "9-to-5" or any other "regular job"
--Competing against my own interests (granted you don't know what those are, but if you're offering something that seems to fit my criteria and I don't respond, chances are good that we're in the same industry).

With no further ado, my freshly-edited ad:

With a background in public accounting, success in media sales, prior military service, a bachelor’s degree in business administration, and many years of experience in the service industry this business owner is always looking for unique opportunities.

I have been involved with start-up organizations, some more successful than others, and I understand the need for leadership and ingenuity. I am dedicated, hard working, self-motivated and detail-oriented. With a variety of professional experience and an entrepreneur's heart, I am ready to jump in wherever necessary to make things happen.

A “non-compete agreement” will be gladly signed and honored for the right opportunity.

Please contact me confidentially at the email bellow. Resume and references available upon request.

I have a variety of experience with departmental and organizational planning, having written disaster response plans for Red Cross chapters in the state of Texas and for the 1996 Olympics. As a former magazine editor, I planned and managed editorial content for 17 magazine issues a year.

I develop recruitment messages to attract new hires and ensure that those messages are carried out in internal communications, the intranet, the Web and in the system’s overall messaging.

Production/Graphic Design: As part of the Human Resources communications team, I oversaw the production of compensation statements for 10,000 plus employees. As a former magazine editor, I worked with the Art Director on the production of 17 magazine issues a year, and as an educator I oversaw the production of the school yearbook. I am used to developing relationships and working with printers, graphic designers and advertising agencies on an ongoing basis.

Web Site Content Management: I have managed intranet and Internet sites and have been responsible for content on the employee and career pages as well as the consumer site. I have managed Web site content for other entities as well, and maintained my own classroom site when I was an educator. I have managed the redesign Web sites as well.

Editing and Writing: I have been responsible for proofing and editing the content of Web sites, for print production materials and for advertisements. I have been responsible for all of the publications of a local academic-oriented non-profit, for nationally-distributed magazines and for a high school yearbook.
