Creative Jobs Finally Open Up

It seems to be happening. The creative jobs are finally loosening up. Art directors, copywriters, designers....I know many who were laid off during this tough recession. Some are freelancing but miss the benefits of their company jobs. Others are counting on the financial support of spouses or family. Others have just plain hit rock bottom. Well, at last, I have begun to see jobs for creative folk posted online. All of this makes me wonder....will the market ever be what it was? As clients continue to be somewhat conservative in their willingness to commit to billing levels with advertising agencies and design firms, both in Indianapolis and elsewhere, managers continue to be tepid on hiring staff. Perhaps the Hollywood model (in which just the right group of freelance consultants are brought together for each project) is the wave of the future.

Comments, thoughts? Freelancers and staffers?
