    Well the job I am working at now I was told about by a friend. Others that I had worked at were even easier to get. The companies contacted me and asked me to come in and interview. Now it's very hard to find new work with the economy as it is. I made connections everywhere I worked and never burned a bridge. It helps to make a name for yourself.

    Your situation is common for artists who become graphic designers. It's always harder creating art for someone else...especially when there is a timeframe involved and you are designing someone else's idea. I would suggest making some time at home to do some art for yourself. Also, read some good books or watch some good movies. They will help keep your creative juices flowing. Other than that, you need to some to terms with the fact that very few people actually "love" their job, because most people work for other people. Therefore, you are on their time, not your own. Keep in mind that the owner of the company/ firm is paying you money to do a job which allows you to utilize your natural talent. Many people don't have such an opportunity. You don't need to love your job in order to have a satisfying life. A far more important thing is learning to make the very best of your time away from your job. If you can do that, it won't matter what kind of job you have.

    The Sunday paper always has a career section it..well, it does where I live. Staffing agencies always have jobs, but they're jobs people don't want to work at..that's why companies hire staffing agencies to fill their jobs all the time, because they can't keep anyone hired.
