Consultant Job at Flixster

I've had a profile on Flixster.com for a few months now to rate and review movies I've seen. It's like myspace specifically for movie fans. I had sent in lots of requests to add classic award winning movies to Flixster's database, and started trying to contact the people running it about a job. It's run by a small group of people and up until a month ago I was told they were not looking to hire more people in the customer service department. I kept on letting them know I was interested and tried to explain how my librarian skills could help their site. Finally, they offered me a part-time consultant job. Now, I'm a movie profile management consultant. To begin with, I was given the project of replying to the massive amount of messages sent by one Flixster user. I can correct or add details to movie profiles, add new movie profiles, or merge duplicate movie profiles. I can make my own schedule and work from my home computer. Plus I know I'll have fun exploring and researching movies all the time!

Byron

Countdown to Graduation

Okay, so Byron graduates from Kent with a Masters in Library and Information Science on May 12th. He's looking for his career to take off and who knows where we'll end up. I'm really proud of him for working so hard to meet his goals. This is another new step for us, as we are going into the black hole of searching for his new job. He is still working at the movie theater part time, which is nice since we get to see free movies!! But he really wants to be an archivist, so hopefully a spot is waiting just for him.
