The University of Guelph is looking for a Web Designer.
We’re looking for someone with formal education in Graphic Design, Marketing or Media and 3 years’ working as a full-time web designer. Qualified candidates must demonstrate advanced knowledge and ability with graphic design, as well as current web design and development trends and techniques. The individual should have a solid understanding of web standards, online culture, and be adept at using online resources for continuous self-directed learning.
Located in southwestern Ontario, the University of Guelph is about an hour’s drive from Toronto. The campus is known for its green space and blend of contemporary and traditional architecture. There are excellent recreation and sports facilities and running trails in our 408-acre arboretum. The City of Guelph is surrounded by rural areas and has an eclectic mix of rural and urban amenities. The city hosts internationally recognized folk, jazz and writer’s festivals, and offers cycling and hiking trails, a performing arts centre and a new sports and entertainment centre.
If you’re the person for the job, but feel a little rusty with resume writing and preparing for interviews, here’s a great article to get you started: How to Get a Job in the Web Industry.

I think it is a Webmaster or WebMistress you seek which does not quite have formal graphic design background but can design when required. At the same time they are not afraid to get knee deep developing an AJAX/RSS/ATOM/PHP/MySQL web app.
I think I might just apply to this if it’s not too late… I noticed that there was a strikeout of the removal on March 16th so perhaps it was extended?

That’s great!
The posting was available to on-campus applicants only until March 16th and is now available to off-campus applicants as well.
I’d get your application in before next Wednesday… it could be taken down then.

having a diploma or a formal education is just like a precious garland.But some people can do better than a formal educated person.For me,having for a formal education is different from an educated person because as i observe there are some web designer has formal education but they are really good on that field.
