I have a new job at UT Dallas!

By Dennis Guten on December 24, 2008 No Comments

So I guess my mission has changed a bit since I took a position at The University of Texas at Dallas.

The University of Texas at Dallas

I started there on December 3rd and am now employed full time doing what I love to do – Web Design!

I’m working in a team environment with a team leader and 5 other coders in the Web Services Department. There are various skill levels represented and each member has their little niche that they excel in.

I (don’t laugh) have a Dell laptop that I use in tandem with my Apple Powerbook G4 paired with (2) 19″ Dell monitors. Each machine has a 19″ to extend the desktop, so it’s a sweet setup.

I have dived in and am involved already in 2 major projects as well as having just worked on the Fall 2008 Graduation this past weekend.

The school is on break until Jan. 5th, so I don’t go back until then. While I am on break I have started a major re-design job for the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation’s website.

I will continue to help my freelance clients finish up the sites I was working on. Then I will take on freelance jobs as I have time available, with the ok of the University.

The opportunity came from a job ad I answered on Craigslist while I was in San Antonio working from the hotel. The benefits are really good and the people I am working with are really nice.

Call from recruiter, updated resume on GushinDesigns

By Dennis Guten on September 18, 2008 No Comments


Today I got a call from a recruiter for a Web Design contract position doing HTML and CSS work.

It was from a post I answered from the Dallas Craigslist Web Design job board that I frequently look at for postings related to the type of work I’m seeking.

The recruiter was very nice and told me that the client most likely would be looking for more detailed information than I had on my resume on GushinDesigns.com that pertained to the type of HTMl and CSS work I had done at Hitchfinder.com in my 2 years there.

So, this gave me the opportunity to go and look at my current resume.

Let’s just say that I have revised what was there.

The online version and the downloadable PDF version were not even the same, plus the PDF was like the online version, which is to say – no caps!

The whole site is without caps and is that way because I wanted that look, but to have someone download a resume and print it out, well, it just looks silly with no caps. So that was fixed today too.

Progress marches on. Hey, I might even get a call back from the recruiter for an interview.
