Re: What do you do for a living?

Got called back for a second interview. They say they have narrowed it down to three. The first interview was just a 30 min deal with 4 people shooting questions. Now, I'm going back to see 4 people separately 1 on 1 style. At least one of them is technical and I just have to sit under the light. (They had all these buzz words in their add but when I shot questions at them they weren't doing any of that new stuff. :confused:) The others supposedly want to see how I come across the disciplines in the office and get a feel for my personality. I've never seen this approach before. I'm trying to keep my hopes down but I think if I don't get the offer I still be really bummed. I've got a week to think about this one.

Re: What do you do for a living?

I have no career. I've just moved around a couple of jobs. I'm 27 and I have no clue what I actually want to do with my life.

I graduated with a degree in Health Sciences. I started out as a Health Inspector, then I was transferred to a different department and worked as a Senior Health Advisor. I quit, then got a call from an old friend and took a job as a Warehouse Supervisor at a kitchen and bathroom cabinet distributor. I quit that because upper management ruled with an iron fist and I worked 60+ hours a week without any overtime compensation. I've been a collegiate volleyball coach during all those jobs and now that's all I'm really doing until I find something else that interests me.

Financially, I'm doing fine. I made a smart investment in a business years ago and it's been paying me out and my wife also makes way more money than I ever did working any of those previously mentioned jobs, JACKPOT!

Re: What do you do for a living?

I think I did mentioned this in some other thread. I'm a concept artist/designer. Meaning I'm part of the pre-production crew that lays out the visual look for video games and movies, be it animated or otherwise. I only work about once per year since '07 because I make very good money on just one job and just spend the rest of the year enjoying myself, although that one job I might be working anywhere between 3-6 months at 10-12 hour days, but nonetheless I enjoy what I do immensely.

Some of you here may even watched a movie or played a video game where I was part of the development team.

I do remember you saying that before. Had forgotten until then!

At the time I thought you have an amazing job, now I simply can't describe how brilliant your job sounds.

What movies and what games have you helped develop? I'm curious now. That sounds like an awesome job!

Re: What do you do for a living?

I'm always around reading up on posts. I just don't reply as often. The main boards have gotten a lot more peaceful since hornfinger got banned.

He'll be back at some point, but I suspect it won't be for long.

See, now when I wrote that post, I thought, "If his Mum aint around anymore, this will be in bad taste." And subsequently it was :-(

You should have known his mother was dead considering he is like 87 years old.
