divalicious Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Let's just say, if you're going to F up, don't F up big time... I sent out a blank full page ad to a newspaper for one of the biggest clients, JP Morgan, and the paper actually ran the blank page!! Ad space cost: approx. $15,000Wed before TDay, I forgot to send files to the London office and someone had to come in on Tday morning to send them.OK, I'll admit that I didn't really like the job anyway, so I'm not bummed. They gave me severance and paid me for unused vacation time. The only thing that sucks is that I don't know that I'll find another job that will allow me to have 10:30-6:30 work hours...So Diva is unemployed! Anyone know of any openings in the Advertising/Marketing/Event Coordination fields??? I've got bills to pay! Thanks...------------------ Peace Love Happiness y'all DivaliciousNYC@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariman Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Dorry to hear that diva. I can't belive they actually ran a BLANK page. That's pretty crazy. Don't know any advertisement jobs, I'm not in that field. Though I'm sure you'll find something... and most companies these days are pretty flexable with hours.

cathyo Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Holy Shit!!I'm sorry to hear that. Even if you don't like the job.It sounds a little drastic to me...I understand it's a $15,000 mistake but geez!I know of a wire operator who caused a $750,000 error and it wasn't in favor of the firm!!------------------ A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to it's old dimensions.~*~*~Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.~*~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdogg Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Monique....That is really crappy to hear. I hope that you are keeping an upbeat attitude on this.

translucent Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Ouch! Go figure, here in the computer field there are plenty of cretins who don't know the difference between multiplication and addition. Not only do they not get fired, but they usually get yearly salary increases.Their companies have to pay me big bux to come in and point out that they've been losing millions because someone fell asleep in 2nd grade.------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuhwoo Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 hey diva,i used to do the same thing (event planning, marketing, advertising) and was job hunting all of september and october. i don't know what kind of event planning you like to do, but there's a site that caters specifically to meeting planning jobs - www.meetingjobs.com. they have a lot of resources for the industry. also, you can check out www.mim.com. both sites are run by leaders of the industry. the first one is a little better organized.i also posted my resume on hotjobs.com and got a lot of responses. in my opinion, they're the best on-line job site. they weed out a lot of the headhunting agencies so you'll only receive responses from the actual company that's looking to hire, and not some employment factory that just wants a commission.i hope some of this helps, and if you want any more information, pm me and i'd be happy to help any way i can. looking for a new job took a toll on me, so i feel for you. and good luck!!
