Hi All,
I am moving to Raleigh this Summer from NYC where I have lived and worked for 12 years. I am from Boston and spent my prior years working in MA. I am very excited about the move as I have spent much time down here. I am moving here to be with my partner and Raleigh was the better economic choice. It will be an adjustment from city and of course my job which I love, but I welcome the change. I am in a unique position as I can continue doing freelance retouching work for my company in NYC while I look for full-time work in Raleigh. I am a creative project manager in the print and pre-press industry and expert photo retoucher. I have worked with major retail and branding companies in both Ny and Boston carrying out large retouching campaigns (Microsoft windows 8 launch) as well as large format trade shows and digital printing. I know the field inside and out and I love it. I have incredible recommendations. Whereas NYC and Boston have plenty of work in my field, Raleigh seems to be somewhat limited. I am researching companies as best as possible but does anybody have recommendations on how to best network myself to ad agencies etc. Realizing that the best jobs are the ones not posted, I am looking for the best ways to get informational interviews so a potential employer can see that I am a talented and passionate individual when it comes to my field. I would appreciate any feedback.
