Careers at Comiclink

[Tomega]

I have seen a section on Comiclink for a while about a career with Comiclink. It looks pretty interesting but the preference of a bachelors or masters seems a bit out of place for a job I cannot see having a salary to reflect that. I could be wrong but I did not feel it was necessary to bother Josh with an inquiry that is not going to go anywhere. Has anyone ever looked into this? It sounds like it could be a dream job for some people.

It doesn't specify, but I'm assuming you have to relocate. I don't even know where they're located.

 

As for the degree, it says it is preferred by not required.

They're in Brooklyn, NY. I seem to remember a thread on this where CL chimed in with "a degree would be nice, but not required/essential" or words to that effect. I'm sure if the applicant were qualified and was a good fit that a degree would be inconsequential.

Relocate to NYC, the Big Apple. Josh will be away from his email on Sat. Feb. 24/07 getting married.

I think the degree preference is more related to a required age/maturity of the applicant than any post-grad work in astrophysics.

I guess that knocks me out then, because I am old, immature, and have completed post-graduate work in astrophysics..

Here is Josh's reply from the old thread

 

"Hi All,

 

I guess you guys noticed the careers tab! For the record, it says "BA/BS degree or Masters is a plus but not required." It does not mean that we would prefer someone with a degree over someone with more relevant qualifications but without a degree. To me, work experience (especially in the field) and a strong work ethic, as well as the other qualifications listed for the positions ARE more important than a degree. The degree is just a plus and certainly helps if there is not much work experience to show (ie. in the case of someone who is recently out of college, for example).

I thought they were in Queens. The address in the old guides was Glenwood St in Little Neck. It literally was on the Queens/Nassau border as the other side of his street was Nassau County.

May I offer some friendly advice. You should have a filter in place to review all submissions. Preferably someone who has covered the technical beat, and in all the areas mentioned in your job description.

 

IMO, it is a far more important aspect to explore than any benefit a finders fee could offer. A finders fee may well get people to sit down in front of you, but a filter (seasoned technical consultant) will qualify the pool of candidates, especially in areas of offering reciprocal benefits and pay scale commensurate to applicant qualifications.

[metropoliscomics]

Thanks for your advice ComicWiz. We have someone in place for just that. The Finder's fee is not being used as a substitute but rather as incentive for a person to put us in touch with a potential candidate.

Since Metro is here scanning this thread, here's a question I have about your website: Why isn't Alex Schomburg on the list of searchable Artists in your Advanced Search feature? Considering the volumn of GA you guys do, and the fact he is both heavily collected and his body of work was so prolific, wouldn't it make sense to have your programmer add him in?

the method already exists in the "Advanced Search" (although not in any inbuilt drop-down format) - search the "Comments" field with keyword Schomburg

[metropoliscomics]

It is on our to do list. As well as having a paragraph about the artist... For now please use the method Comicwiz described.

Thanks Joseph, however, I have a hard time believing Metro has only 20 Schomburg covers in stock (which is the Search result returned). No Subbys or Marvel Mysterys returned at all. The artist field itself needs to be modified, as well as their backend input. I have a hard time understanding how such an oversight comes about to begin with. I mean, c'mon, this is Schomburg.

very VERY interesting. I think I could fit everything in your job listing. I always thought it would be amazing to work in the comic industry with my programming skill set.
