              Accepting Applicants for Marketing Positions
              ============================================

                          December 15, 1988

Commodore US is currently looking for three (3) new Amiga Applications
Managers.  These managers will cover three distinctly different markets:

   Video
   Graphics/CAD/Desktop Publishing
   Interactive Video/Presentation Graphics

If you meet at least 80% of the the listed requirements, we would like to hear
from you.  To be considered for the position, please send your resume and
salary requirements to:

Jean Pepe
Commodore Business Machines
1200 Wilson Drive
West Chester, PA  19380


Duties and Descriptions
=======================

Applications managers would report to Keith Masavage, Amiga Product Manager.

The duties would include, but not be limited to:

Sales support -  working with the regional sales and training personnel to
help them with the technical side of major sales.  This would also include 
attending regional seminars.

Design and implementation of turnkey vertical market systems.
This would include all phases of bringing to our dealers desired 
configurations of hardware and software that will allow them to effectively 
penetrate each of the identified vertical markets.  Required here are
extremely good writing and editing skills, since a very extensive training 
program will have to be developed in conjunction with our Training Manager.  
This area will also include doing a nationwide training session with dealers, 
regions, and districts in order to create a network of authorized vertical 
market dealers.

Training - working with the Training Manager on all phases of training dealers,
salesmen and staff on each vertical market.

Advertising - Work with marketing to develop effective marketing plans.

Public Relations -  working with Commodore's PR firm to effectively present
Commodore, the Amiga and each vertical market to the buying public and to
the media.

Shows - Work at all vertical market shows selected for each vertical market
and work with regions on smaller regional shows.  This will entail every 
aspect of show management from possibly buying space to setting up & tearing 
down equipment.


Applicant must have the following:
==================================

Sales background, especially oriented towards the VARs and OEMs that exist 
within any given vertical market.

Marketing background, especially oriented towards the knowledge of the 
vehicles by which any given vertical market is reached.

Vertical Market experience - Complete technical knowledge of one of the
vertical markets with an understanding of how the Amiga PC fits into that
market.

Willing to travel - a lot of travel will be involved in each of these 
positions. If you value a heavy home life, this job is not for you.  
Travel will include training, sales support and trade shows (just to name 
a few).

Knowledge of computers - an in-depth working knowledge of computers will be a
must since each applications manager will be responsible for training others,
some of whom may very well may know more than the Applications Manager.



If you are still interested, please contact us as soon as possible.  Selection
will most likely occur during December.  Relocation to the West Chester area
is a must.  Thank you...
