    Default you're hired

    News coming from the Alleycat front. Alleycat made it through the interview process times three and was hired as a Professor of Interior Design at a major art college. I applied for this job way back in early spring and did not think much about my prospects with them after that. I start interviewing a month ago and found out yesterday I am in. So for all of you people that are out there wanting, waiting and searching sometimes these sorts of things happen when you least expect it!

    Allleycat it is awesome that others can so readily see what a unique and talented person you are. You are one of those people that truly make the world a better place. Those students will be very fortunate to have not only a very talented instructor but an awesome role model. Congrats Professor Alleycat!!!

    Thank you Geezer.

    I would like to say I got the job because I my diverse back ground. Not alot of designers have that. They just go to school for design. But honestly I really think I got that job because of my business back ground. Not alot of people in my field have that. I honestly think that a business back ground is so important in any sort of design field. It allows you to market and broadcast your ideas and make them available. I will be teaching contracts, and professional practices along with presentation
