misteraven Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Not to break my own rules and solicit, but it is 12oz related so... It's honestly a little early to post this, but then again things take time and thought I'd give the 12oz community a first crack at this. As you guys know, I spent all of last year setting up a screenprinting facility that launched this year. More here: https://12ozcollective.com Anyhow, I need all the help I can get and if we were still based out of NYC, I'd have a pretty hefty crew. After leaving and especially after shutting down to regroup and relaunching, I've started with a clean slate and have been steadily building things back up. Honestly I can use a ton of help across a diversity of areas and disciplines but now have an opportunity for the right candidate. This individual will largely be assisting with all aspects of the screenprinting business, which largely overlaps with 12ozProphet since we're producing our own stuff. A creative background would be awesome, but not critical. Likewise, screenprinting (automated presses) or offset printing experience would be a huge plus, but also not required. We (I) can help train you on all the equipment, processes and work flow. In addition to screenprinting, you would also be assisting with behind the scenes aspects of the 12ozProphet brand, with particular emphasis on your qualifications and interests. The opportunity will require you to relocate to us. I'll be honest, this is position is best suited to someone younger that isn't carrying a ton of debt or a committed relationship / kid. Room and board will be provided at minimum, but depending on the candidate and their background, travel expense and salary in addition to full room and board is negotiable. This is the chance to get down at the ground level of something special we're doing for the next chapter of 12ozProphet. I'm looking for committed, loyal and ambitious people that are interested in learning a shit ton across a wide scope of brand and production business and willing to work extra hard to help make it happen. If you're interested, please private message and we'll discuss things in more detail. Likewise, if you know someone that's young and eager, good people and excited to likely learn and experience far more than what you generally get from a 4 year college degree... Point them to this thread. Thanks! 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hey everyone, there's a handful of very promising responses to the offer, so going through them now. Last week was a busy as fuck, which is also why I've been mostly missing on here, but finally getting caught up so I'll start getting back to people today at some point. That being said, I still encourage anyone interested to message me. Some responses are based upon a seasonal availability, which got me thinking that it makes sense to maybe staff up for the busier times of year or put together a summer program or something similar. Anyhow, reach out if you're interested and able. Thanks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Going to bump this post. We have one person scheduled to come out full time in the next month or two and a couple others I've been talking to about summer with. That said, there's a few conversations I'm having regarding big screen printing work, so have a feeling we're going to start getting pretty busy over the next couple months. Feel free to share a link or @ someone that you think could be a good fit. Private message me and I'll pass my email and we can go into specific detail, but if you have any general questions, feel free to post. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorydays Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 What's goody @misteraven I'm trying to save up for a short stint at the printing shop I want to spend like two weeks up there in montana so i can learn more about the business 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 So going to bump this thread... I had three candidates, including someone with massive experience and contacts that qualified a salaried position all go sideways on me. This whole pandemic has obviously made a mess of shit. Anyhow, I'm going to start talking to some industry people about lining up our next steps since our print shop was setup to be socially distanced from the getgo. I'll also probably put this on social media soon. So that being said, here's a last chance for the 12oz community to step up and have an early conversation before I open this opportunity up to a far wider demographic. If you or someone you know is interested and has something to contribute, we have a pretty amazing setup that is very well insulated from all that madness out there. Share this thread, tag people and DM me to discuss. Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Kicking this back up instead of starting a new thread. Got a few responses last time that looked serious, but seems to have not panned out, so circling back cause things are about to get hectic at our screen printing company. I'm about to put on blast across social media and other message boards that 12ozProphet is hiring. We're finalizing a major print gig for a very important client and I need to bring some help on board for at least the next 2 - 3 weeks. Those 2 - 3 weeks will be a vetting process for a permanent position. Once we deliver on this gig successfully, there's a packed schedule of projects until at least the end of the year, but things appear to have reached a tipping point, so I'm starting to also look at a new building and installing a second press should things continue. This being said, I'm looking to bring on some help. Both paid positions and unpaid internships. Unpaid internships will likely include having travel to us covered and will absolutely cover room / board / food. Paid positions will be negotiated based upon experience level and how well this vetting process goes. Ideally looking for people with screenprint experience, especially on large scale auto setups. Additionally, I need people to assist with staging and logistics, so that means very meticulous and organized. Lastly, could also use general labor, so no experience, just a great attitude and willingness to work hard and help us get shit done. Next step will be to loop back and also bring on at least one full time designer, but that's a little ways off. If interested, send me a DM here on the board or email using the contact form here: https://12ozcollective.com/contact/ - Please include a contact phone or messeging app handle, relevent info about yourself and experience and any links or anything else that helps us understand why you'd be a great pick. (We'll get more specific as we discuss) These opportunities are immediate, so we'd ideally be bringing people out as early as next week. For more info on what we're doing, check out https://12ozcollective.com/ Feel free to share this with people you trust, that you believe will be good candidates. Thanks! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
