I got job interview tomorrow : any cool advice ?

Congrats on the great job interviews THX !

I got news : I have PASSED teh Streamline Studios evaluation test !

Next gen game development looks to become a whole lot closer to me now.

I paid a hefty price for it though ; social life of mine has been decimated to get where i am now. Kind of sad when you think about it.....

* edit ; i\'ll disclose more of my portfolio soon.

So whats been going on any good news interview wise?

Well, I\'m still waiting for Rareware & MediaRepublic to reply.

Today I\'m writing for Triumph studios and I plan to job app to Aswift.com\'s vacancies really soon.

Good news is that i\'ve got help from a reintegration company who might be able to help and assist in any way towards getting \'there\' ; which means that there could be possibilities to fund my internship or any other post schooling.

The bureacratic unemployment institutions are a real pain, but of course i do understand the need to get back to employment asap.

It\'s just that they don\'t care shit about what kinda job. They\'ll go as far to \'force\' any very well educated person into some crappy factory job

I\'ve put all my effort into this 3D portfolio and 3D job apps to avoid such nasty situations to be forced to take lower educated jobs. I\'m really glad i\'m beginning to see the \'fruits\' of my efforts.

Lol. They came to a conclusion : I can start the internship THIS week. Preferably asap.

I\'ll start wednesday @ Streamline Studios

Congrats Knotter!!  Hope you\'ll learn a ton and maybe even get hired after the internship is up.

My interview today was so-so.  3 people grilled me for 50 friggin minutes.  I answered most the questions well and bs\'ed my way out of ones where I didn\'t have the experience.  Hope I land it, seems like a cushy job so far.

Funny thing, I got a call on my way into the office building and the temp agency wants to set me up with an interview with one of their clients.  This is really exhausting...

Awesome i am thrilled for you, i am sure you will do just fine.

Goodluck THX !

Yeah, one does indeed need to be persistent to get a real career going.

Getting into the games industry is like trying to infiltrate Fort Knox or sumthin\'.

Believe me, this is NOT my first try (in years).

(Maybe there are internet forums in your workfield to get advise from the pro\'s like CGtalk is in my case.)

It\'s very tough without actual experience and coming out of unemployment becuz the pressure\'s there from social security institutions. Damn bureaucrats would even send Einstein to factory shift work without hesitation.

The good thing is, one learns alot from each consecutive job interview. Goodluck on your next one !

Just had my eleventy-billionth interview today.  Best thing about it was it was the best interview I gave EVAR.  Worst thing is they have 4-5 more people to do.



Did you break any NDA\'s yet Knotter?

Thumbs up dude. The most important thing is your own interview went great so there\'s nothing you can do more. Other applicants are always gonna be the case. 5 guys sounds like nothing compared to the numbers i hear in context of games industry jobs.

My work here, at \' internship\'  status, is going pretty well. Learning industry standards while being productive on a Xbox360 live game (making a character atm), meeting new cool ppl.

I hope a (paid) contract offer will be the outcome.

Glad to hear your doing good.Just keep up the hard work i am sure something good will come from it.

Thanx dude

I notice alot of game studios are ramping up for next gen game devlopment, which means hiring more ppl.
