Check with your local Mac User Group. Most of them will post ads for such
people. If they're a decent-sized group, they probably have a DTP special
interest group and those folks would probably make good candidate.

I agree with the original poster that it's amzaing the things people in
this business try to pass off as resumes. I've seen some real doozies. I
was once asked to screen about a thousand resumes for a major coporation.
They just wanted me to look for people who seemed to know what they were
doing. It amazed me that people who claimed to have mega-degrees couldn't
even write a decent sentence. I mean, if you're applying for a job as a
typesetter, you could at least show some level of competence by using
leading appropriate to the typeface you used on your resume! Out of a
thousand resumes, I found 3 that showed the writers were capable of
creating a decent document. Amazing, huh?
