I called up a screen printing company last week to ask about possible job openings. I told the manager that I learned how to screen print when I was in school. He told me that he wants someone with experience and if I'm interested I can come in whenever I want for him to see if I'm good on the machine.
I googled the company and found their Facebook page which had a few photos. I saw that they had an automatic screen printing press and I've only been trained on a manual press. Next week, I'll be going into another print shop that will let me practice screen printing which will also be on a manual press. This might sound silly, but do you guys think the potential employer will show me the door when I tell him that I don't have experience on an automatic press for t-shirts? Don't you think he would train me and show me how to use it? I assume I can use what I already know which will make it easier to learn.
What do you guys think?
It probably depends on whether they have any applicants with experience using the press they use. I don't know how much the skills transfer (heh), but it might help if you could bring samples of your work.
In case you're wondering what you're suffering from, it's called paralysis by analysis.
They either will or they won't. There is almost a certainty that nothing you can do will change that fact.
So, apply for the job, go to the "test" and see where it goes from there.
