On Monday, I started a new job at Hot House Marketing as a Junior Web Developer. I am currently working there part-time for a couple of hours a day while I finish my course on Drupal Open Source Development & E-Commerce. I assist the current Web Developer with tasks such as updating current client websites and starting new web projects, as well as a variety of other things such as html emails, image editing for web, etc.

Hot House Marketing is a full-service advertising agency located in Victoria, BC. It is a fairly small company but has huge potential. They have a team of nine employees (including myself) that work together as a team to provide services such as websites, print advertising, video, brand building, marketing, SEO, business consulting, fundraising, research, event planning, among others.

I am really enjoying this job so far and think that this company is a good fit for my skills and personality, because I am the type of person who thrives in a small community with a team mentality. Hot House Marketing is made up of people who are very talented and have a multitude of skills in this field, and I am delighted to have been offered a position working amongst these people. It is a rare opportunity that allows me to begin my career as a web developer, especially in a job market where entry-level positions in most fields are hard to come by because one generally needs years of experience to get almost any position.
