...and I'm freaking out a little. I don't do web design and everything out there is for a web designer. Does anyone just hire for print anymore?

Fired or 'let go' due to lack of work?
- bigbaby530
Fired. I cost the company a client.

you were there 3 years and they fired you for losing 1 client?

The story is far more interesting than your lack of web design knowledge. Please elaborate.

Don't freak out. There are plenty of regular design positions out there.

I've only been there 6-8 months. What I did wasn't design related. I was a "digital printer". We basically put together spec books for engineers, etc. Part f this job was shipping. I had mad some mistakes early on that I blame on lack of concentration. Shipping to the wrong person. Not shipping enough, things like that. They gave me a warning that one more mistake and I'm out. I understood. I improved my work ethic, etc. Then today I hear that one of the packages I sent arrived damaged. I thought it may be a FedEx issue but apparently not. It was the last straw according to my boss. So here I am not at all impressed with my portfolio and out of work with the rent due in a few days.
- You got fired for screwing up an EA's job. Now you want a design position?monospaced

^ That's odd responsibility (shipping/packaging) for a design position.
- bigbaby530
Wasn't a design position. Design is what I do but I didn't do it here.

So wouldn't you rather do design? Maybe it's a sign that you should move on to better things.

"You got fired for screwing up an EA's job."
Count yourself lucky you aren't working for an ahole boss that puts logistical AE shit on designers. Onward and upward.

Use this time to bring your portfolio up to date and improve your skills (web and other) and freelance until something permanent is available. You definitely can't pay the rent with worry and fear.
