think they would let you work from home?
- shellie0
probably not. looks like they want people who can work in a team that is at their VT office.

burlington VT is a kick ass city. its a college town and its minutes away from some of the best skiing in the US, plus the ben and jerrys production facility! cant go wrong. if i didnt have another job lined up id be all over it.

ummm, "some of the best skiing in the US..."
from what I've heard, for riding on ice, yes.
CO is where the best boarding is.:)

Burton was mu choice in the past, well in my early twenties and that was a damn nicely designed board, for sure a dream job! :) I rode that until I broke it.

that aint that bad of requirements at all.. infact I hope most of us can do all that..
that seems like basic design skills to me.. and if you think differnt you better freshen up on da skills

you wanna see ice boarding? come to minnesota.. the land or skiing/boarding on glare ice!
we have the big ol' mountains that are measured in 50' increments of vert. many many broken bones due to this...

i dont think most designers here dabble in packaging or pop or print at all for that matter. shit i love print most but i couldnt action script my way out of a wet paper bag. to be honest i dont know how anyone can get it all down pat in 1-3 years. package design is tricky i know, flash sites are as well i can only asume.
maybe schools are that good these days. not that the requirements are that far fatched, just my drunken opinion..
again :P
whoever can do it all is a badass and has been around the block for a while

burton has always had the kick ass sites. without a doubt..
sounds like the most kick ass job anyone could dream of. i'll be dreaming of it while i get another surgery this month from my snowboarding accident last winter! RIDE OR DIE!!!
Colorado kicks Vermonts ass.
and if you didn't know, for all you unemployed designers out there - this would be a very ideal job - fuck other people's image - build your own! Be Burton!

That would be my absolute dream job. Cool company - look at their attitude and that benefit list. Not scared of bold design concepts/ideas. All their products/clothing/collateral/cat... are the number one shit. Being involved in that would be pretty great. Shame moving from New Zealand would be so hard to do, anyone want to sponsor me in the green card lottery? By the time I'd sorted all that out and persuaded my wife-to-be the job would be looooooong gone.
