Comments: I recieved a call after sending in a resume probably a couple of weeks before. I listed Corel as one of my better applications and so they called me immediately. Apparently they had a crisis and wanted to nail an account so they were frantically searching for a cross platform graphics junkie. I was lucky to be home and I went to interview that afternoon.
To make a long story short I got the job and although it only lasted a few days I felt confident that I was treated well and that Pam Grossman was a fair and conscientious counsellor. I am still waiting for a new assignment but I can attribute that to the Thanksgiving week lull. I will continue to post if this turns out as well as it looks like it will. I realised that the other accounts of working at Madamoiselle were probably true but I got non of the sexism or quirkiness from Creative On Call which is a division for DP.
