A Million Memories is in search of five new design team members. If you're interested, read the information below. We will be accepting applications from February 10, 2007 through March 15, 2007. We will announce the five new designers once the designers have been contacted and accepted their posts. The design team position is a commitment of twelve (12) months.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

We are looking for five energetic, outgoing, talented, versatile and creative individuals who are team players for the term April 2007 – April 2008. Strong photography and digital skills are a plus, but not required.

The commitment to A Million Memories’ design team is exclusive. Our designers cannot hold design team positions with competing kit clubs. Manufacturer design team appointments and teaching at your LSS are acceptable.

Consistent and frequent message board participation is required.

DT's are required to post at least four items per kit - 2-4 layouts, the altered item included in the kit (if there is one), and a card.

Part of your job will be to advertise the kit club and store and not competing businesses.

Our designers are given a free kit every other month containing the industry's latest and greatest products, plus extra supplemental products as compensation.

You will receive special sponsored manufacturer's kits every 3-6 weeks. A link to your projects is sent directly to the sponsored manufacturers by AMM. This will give you exposure directly to manufacturers.

There is a product discount as well - more detail on that will be provided to those who are selected for the team.

Free product for special limited edition kits that you may (on occasion) design yourself from items in our store.
