So, some advice here from all you lovely people, please?
I work for an American company, in an overseas office (Israel).
This is important because:
* I’m really only fluent enough for professional work in English (I’m American).
* Salaries here tend to be extremely low, unless you work remotely for a foreign company (which I am already doing).
The company I work for is a commercial furniture seller, and I do the most basic work for their website graphics. I was working on some more fun design projects for their website redesign but then they got annoyed that I wouldn’t move to NJ, where they’re based, and told me I could only do the boring stuff.
How can I find a really enjoyable and challenging job that will let me telecommute, and which will pay a reasonable rate ($25 per hour or more)?
I’m quite a decent designer although I haven’t worked for any really large companies. I have a BA in graphic design and would love to continue my education (when I can afford it!). I have been working in graphic design on and off for about ten years, and working for my current company for a little over 1 year. I would like to be doing illustration, original logo design, advertising work, or anything that’s a LITTLE more interesting than cropping pictures of office chairs (augh). I’m proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Quark and several other programs.
Any ideas, folks? I haven’t been able to find anything in the papers or on websites for this area, but maybe I haven’t been looking in the right places.
Thanks!!! :)
