Job Listings Employment Opportunities
Vortex Design is not your traditional design house and as such, we do not offer traditional employment.  All we can offer is part time, freelance projects on a random and unreliable basis.  For some people though, this is ideal. 

Do you just want some busy work, or the occasional extra project for your portfolio?  Are you Ok with only hearing from us once every two or three months sometimes?

Do you just need another client to supplement your existing freelance income?  Well, then you've come to the right place.  Below are some of the positions that we are looking for, so check them out and contact us if anything looks like "you".

Graphic Designer - Looking for someone with a working knowledge of print and pre-press.  Position might include design work or simply preparing documents for printing.  The better your portfolio, the more creative work we might throw your way.  Am more than happy to consider fresh graduates and non-degreed designers with experience.  This position is on a freelance, as-needed basis.  The pay rate is $10.00 per hour (I know, it stinks, but this is Youngstown and my rates are too low to pay well).  Pay rate is NON-NEGOTIABLE.  Raises for long term freelancers are based solely on whether or not I get a rate increase myself.  There are no benefits.  You are responsible for your taxes, not me (if you happen to make enough, you might get a 1099, but that's it).  Payment is through PayPal only for the moment.  Must be able to make a commitment to be available on part time basis for an extended period of time (I'd like to know I can count on you being around when I need you).

Accepted designers will be allowed to showcase their work on the site, if desired, in a manner decided by me.  You will have the luxury of sitting at home in your PJ's or going to the park to work, or whatever.  You may only need to meet with me once or twice a year. 

To apply for this position, send your resume, a list of all programs you have access to and your level of expertise on each, a link to your portfolio and a cover letter to apply@vortexdesign.com.  That's it! 

Savvy Sales Genius I am looking for an intelligent person, preferably with allot of rich friends in need of design work (just kidding), who is great at drumming up business and keeping clients happy in a friendly, ethical and non sleazy way.  This position also doubles as a customer service position as the client will come to you with many issues and requests.  This is a freelance, independent contractor, commission only position!  Commission is set at 10% of GROSS for all projects you bring in that are PAID FOR (You get paid when I get paid).   Bonuses for meeting monthly quotas.  If proper customer service is provided, then you will also get a residual commission on projects for long term clients you've brought in of 3%, for the life of your employment.  This position, even under the best circumstances, will not bring in a full time income.  This position is best for someone just looking to pick up some spare cash each month or those in need of part time like income. There is some minor training involved, a fairly loose dress code for client meetings and a code of conduct/ethics.  The more familiar you are with the internet, computers or web design, the better. I will work with you to provide any printed sales materials you feel are necessary for the sales process.  Must be willing to sign Non-compete agreement and Code of Conduct/Ethics agreement.  You can work when you want, bring in clients when you want and slack off when you want.  Basically, I am looking for ONE great salesperson to work with over a long period of time.  If you think you're right for this gig, send your resume with a cover letter to apply@vortexdesign.com.

Flash Freak - Need one good Flash developer for random projects.  Must be able to demonstrate a good grasp of the program, including moderate action scripting. 

Am more than happy to consider fresh graduates and non-degreed Flash developers with experience.  This position is on a freelance, as-needed basis.  The pay rate is $10.00 per hour (I know, it stinks, but this is Youngstown and my rates are too low to pay well).  Pay rate is NON-NEGOTIABLE.  Raises for long term freelancers are based solely on whether or not I get a rate increase myself.  There are no benefits.  You are responsible for your taxes, not me (if you happen to make enough, you might get a 1099, but that's it).  Payment is through PayPal only for the moment.  Must be able to make a commitment to be available on part time basis for an extended period of time (I'd like to know I can count on you being around when I need you).

Accepted Flash developers will be allowed to showcase their work on the site, if desired, in a manner decided by me.  You will have the luxury of sitting at home in your PJ's or going to the park to work, or whatever.  You may only need to meet with me once or twice a year.
