Laid-off LAT designer helping other laid-off employees find jobs

Erica Smith — who’s covered the disintegration of the newspapers like no other — posted a fabulous Q&A yesterday with Amy Martin, recently laid off from the Los Angeles Times.

Amy is offering to redesign resumés for other laid-off journalists, hold classes for out-of-work designers and to put them in touch with a financial planner who works for free.

Don’t miss this article, folks. Find it on Erica’s Graphic Designr blog.

    Hi Charles,

    Thanks for posting this! If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to promote the poster series I just did for 826LA - it’s a great organization, and all proceeds go to them.
