Salary question, always been with one shop
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 11:27 pm
Hello, please excuse me if this topic has been raised and answered recently, but I'm new to this board.
I am a printer and production manager for a small shop (4-7 employees in my crew), and I'm looking to move a few hundred miles to a new location. For economical travel reasons, I'd like to be able to define realistic salary requirements on my resume. The following is a brief overview of my experience so as to help any respondents to this post better narrow the salary range they suggest I should expect. I am not posting a job resume at this time; I am only looking for help defining what pay my capabilities (or lack thereof!) should command in the current job market.
6 years experience part-time as production help
-screen cleaning/reclaiming
-automatic press loading, unloading, folding
-preproduction shipping, sorting
4 years additional experience full-time as printer/production manager
-as above, also
-production schedule (daily/weekly)
-all aspects of job preparation from screen stretching, coating & shooting, ink preparation, press setup, and troubleshooting
-press maintenance & repair
-embroidery production, machine maintenance & repair
-simple artwork for screen printing, embroidery and vinyl cutting- mostly names and numbers
I can easily operate, maintain and repair a single 6-color automatic, an Antec manual press, and a Barudan multi-head embroidery machine, as well as schedule upcoming jobs for all of the above and manage the crews working on them.
Please forgive me if this post ran a little long; if anyone has a suggestion as to where I should set my salary expectations, please respond to this message or feel free to send me an email.
Thanks!
