A Rock Star Designer is not always what you want...



Every now and then I scroll the pages of Craigslist for future opportunities... because you never know where the next great thing is going to come from. Although I will be the first one to admit, it's really a waste of time. Most of the design job postings come from Creative Circle which is one of several temp agencies that request you to come in, spend hours jumping through hoops to prove your worth, and then proceed to NEVER GET YOU ANY WORK EVER. Temp agencies have their five design guys they give everything, and the rest of us just waste time filling in their new recruit quota. But every now and then I run across an ad that I simply cannot pass up. Especially those looking for "rock star" designers with questions for you to fill out. Like a sailor drawn to a lovely siren... I can't help myself. I have to fill out those questions! Of course I haven't heard back from them so I'll just go ahead and post my answers here. I used to play these things straight but since that never seems to do anything either...
