I'm just over one week into the job search (nine days to be exact, but it feels like forever) and here's how things are looking sofar - not too great, I'll say.
Tomorrow I've got an interview at Bear Studios at 2:30. I like the fact that I have an interview but after taking a look at the company's work, it looks like they do cheap models for commercials, more aimed at getting the functionality of a product across that making realistic and or stylized video games. If this is the best I can do for now, I'd be happy to take the job should they offer it to me. But I would still be actively job hunting for any artist positions in the video game field. C.S. (a friend) says I shouldn't take the job just cause it doesn't sound very promising. But at this point, I guess I'll take something over nothing until something better comes my way. Besides, it'll give me something to do instead of waiting by the computer day after agonizing day for some other company to come by and nab me.
The freelance work is doing fine. Sofar I've managed to complete two variants of a tiling garden mulch texture and three variants of a metal texture. Eagerly waiting more work from the client to give me so I have something to take my mind off all this worrying.
Oh right, worrying ... forgot to mention why. I pretty much have until tomorrow to hear from Radical for a SWEET job that I want. Its heaven, seriously, combining my passion for games and graphic design. But talking about how cool it is will send me into further depths of depression, lol. I honestly think they'd have contacted me by now if they were really interested. Probably because I don't have enough experience. I mean it was a contract position so they probably want someone well versed with more experience than me.
I'm also thinking Rockstar's not gonna want me, just to keep my hopes down. I have another week to wait for their reply. Teachers tell me they're scooping people up because alot of employees have left them. I'm wondering why ... but still, I'd like a job in the gaming industry and I honestly think Rockstar would be good for experience, if they work me to death. At least then I can say I made it out alive from Rockstar. That'll be something on my resume for sure.
Aside from the job search, there's literally nothing going on in my life. No wonder things are so depressing right now. What a perfect time to start blogging, so I can rant and rant about everything that's happening to me. What's gonna happen when I do find a job? Will I have the time to keep this thing updated?
Who knows ... I'm out of things to say for now. Gotta call Rachel.
