Design Job Opportunities- HGTV

With the declining economy and economic stress, it is hard to try to find a job- let alone one in the design industry. From my searches I have found that there are opportunities just about everywhere.

One job I found recently was to be a HGTV designer for a day to work on a room makeover. Requirements are to have some credentials- before and after photos and resume and photo of yourself.

It's a Showdown on HGTV

So if you don't know by now HGTV Showdown is back!

The show is made up of two design teams that are both given a replica of a the same room in a couple's home. The teams are challenged to create a unique design for the rooms under the client's specifications and are only given a full four hours to do so. The teams are given an advantage by having total use of the design warehouse for any supplies and furniture they might need.

Spoiler alert! If you have not seen the shows and are planning on catching up this is a spoiler alert about who has won and photos of the spaces!

The first week was Genevieve Gorder and Carter Oosterhouse on one team and Monica Pedersen and Eric Stromer on the other had to to create a living room for a couple who wants to have a space designed for conversation and entertainment. Although both teams designed great spaces, the winners were Genevieve and Carter.
