I hope the MN weather is treating you and your fam well!
I am transitioning out of my position at Outset, Inc. and there are some job openings available, including an Entry-level & Mid-level position. I thought you might have some good recommendations of recent grads that could be a good fit for the Entry-level opportunity. There are a lot of packaging opportunities, as well as other branding & print design (and product, environment & web collaboration). Let me know if you have any recommendations of interested individuals. They are looking to interview for the positions as quickly as possible (as in rest of this week and next) ... so the sooner the responses, the better. I pasted the job ad details below.
I'll try to call you later today about it too.
Take care!

We currently freelance a number of illustrations, so if you can draw well, that helps the company (and you). if you decide to email your stuff (which is what i did), put everything into ONE (1) PDF. it makes it easier on everyone if all your stuff is in one file.
Oh, i forgot to tell you: shepherd incorporated is an all mac environment, working in OS X. we have one or two PCs, but 99% of your time will be on a mac. if you're not comfortable with that, find a mac near you and get comfortable. they're pretty easy, and a lot more fun. some people that work here bring their own mice to use. we have wacom drawing tablets on hand, plus a number of printers/scanners/copiers/faxers. we work on a network and FTP every day.
If you have any other questions about shepherd, about my daily duties, etc, don't hesitate to ask.

If you know of any students who have recently graduated and are looking for
a good job right out of college - ALPS, mutual funds services is looking for
an entry level graphic designer. Granted we are located in Downtown Denver
Colorado so they would have to move and would not be offered any relocation
package. The salary and the benefits are solid. It is working with a lot of
financial documents...so not extremely creative but it has it's moments.
