If all goes well I'll be making 5 g's more than my previous job (nearly 5 months ago) and I'll have my own office. The job market for production artists sucks right now, and this is the first call-back I've got after mass-faxxing countless resumes.

Now I won't get the damn job because I told everybody. Thus jinxing it I'm just getting too damn bored collecting unemployment (and barely scraping by on it).

It's weird though, even though this is the only interview I've gotten since I lost my last job around June 1st, I feel strangely positive about it. The women who owns the company gave me a description of wehat they need, and it sounds like I'll fit the bill perfectly.

I won't get my hopes up too high though.

good luck and don't bitch if you gotta use a windows box when your earning cash

Brush up your abilities. Don't get distracted by little, favorite skills and practice all. Draw, scan and photoshop several pieces quick and well.

Or something like that. Heck, I don't know the graphic design industry.

[L'enfanTerrible]

Good luck mate.

[arrested502]

Good luck man. Just be confident and positive.

[digimage]

Good luck Mike.
Don't mention Titties or Camel toes and I bet you'll get it.

;-)

[Footy]

Great news Mike!!! I hope you get it!

[philzilla]

and certainly hope they never saw this classic. ouch.

Aren't you even a little ashamed to flaunt your misogyny? Pitiful.

[philzilla]

ouch. this could be fun...

I was going through this not long ago.

My biggest advice -apart from looking into her eyes, rather than various other parts of her anatomy- is this: interviewers can smell fear. Keep your confidence up, and it'll help immensely (as long as you don't get too cocky).

And one last thing. A question I heard about on the radio which is making the rounds in job interviews, as a way of determining how a person thinks. You're driving in the middle of a severe storm, and you come to a bus stop. Three people are waiting there. The first is a very old, very frail woman who doesn't look as though she's going to last the night if she stays out in the storm any longer. The second one is an old friend who saved your life three years ago, but who you haven't seen since then. The first is the woman (or man, as the case may be) of your dreams. Your car only has room for one additional person. Who do you pick up?

The "correct" answer, or as close of one to it as exists, is this: Give the keys to your friend. Let him drive the old woman to the hospital, while you wait for the bus with the woman of your dreams.

You're new to the boards, yes? andi is a woman, with a philosophy left of center to boot. The thing is that Mike has lost more than one job because he couldn't keep his libido under control.

Mike was also the guy who posted here minutes after sleeping with his maid, am I right?

You sir are correct.

He even bragged about posting that time in the nude.

heh, the way that the 19th & 20th posts are only 3 minutes apart is simply wild. way to go, arres... err, i mean, Mike

[andi*pandi]

true phil, that was funny! I guess I should have used the sarcasm emoticon.

hey jadey... as pointed out, I'm far from misogynist! You've gotta know mikey and that he has issues with women... one of his last bosses was a woman, and boy did it not work out for him... for a while, mike was tres bitter about all women.

I missed the bb bar thread. v funny!

I don't think she needs to worry about that, somehow.

[Footy]

Well Mike! What happened? Did you get the job?

Yep, I was hired today. I'll start next Tuesday (woulda started Monday but the woman who will be training me will be out, she'll basically be my supervisor). Nice set-up too, they have a cinema display in the office (the big 22" or 23" job). Real weird for a workplace to use one (I guess they have some serious "coin" to toss around). I think that's the bosses machine though. Pretty easy commute by bus. Great location (major shopping center accross the street).

I don't feel as excited as I should be for some reason. I think the past 5 months out of work and doing nearly nothing sorta de-motivated me or put me into a mild depression. I'll be back into the swing of things within a week or so.
