Now thats just cruel
So I was doing my job hunting, like a good little girl. And I get to this Forever 21 Assistant Graphic Designer position. I figure, what the heck. I know nothing about Fashion but thats something that can be learned as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, I'm sitting there reading it and its everything I have experiance in. Working on in-store promotional material, in-store lay out design, basically spouting off all the stuff I did with Circuit Shitty... that I was good at even though they treated me like crap. Only this would be on a corporate level not as a retail store geek.
But then I see the line "Strong Hand Drawing skills emphasized" I figure maybe that would be negotiable... not sure though but I read on. I see a line about interior design experiance, which of course I have none of but I'm sure I could learn but under the requirements they again mention Strong Drawing Skills are needed. There's no prefered. Just that its emphasized.
And unfortunatly Strong Drawing skills are not what I have. I take HOURS upon hours to draw anything decent. And even then I have to already be seeing it to be able to draw it. *sigh* I don't know if I should still apply thinking that maybe it wont be a deal breaker because frankly I can't fake it. Interior design I can fake, knowing basic knowledge of programs, i can fake. I can teach myself all that but the drawing skills i can't teach. it took me 6 years to improve what little skills I have in that area. And I know there's no chance of improving it really.
I'm going to save the job anyway in the search agent and see if I can't track down more info on it through Forever 21's website. But man its going to suck if my lack of drawing ability costs me a potentially decent job. The only downside would it would be dealing with Retail and Fashion but if the pay was good.... it would also mean commuting to LA on a regular basis (i refuse to live in LA. Hate that city with a passion)
*sigh* I don't know what to do, I really don't. But at least I'm looking... that counts for something right?
