Funny
So I got my copy of develop magazine yesterday - always like reading through it. Loads of useful games industry stuff - and you can download it as a free PDF!
Given that I need a job for next summer, I've been looking through the last few issues to get some ideas... conveniently in this latest issue their main feature is on the UK's state of recruitment and a distinct lack of skilled candidates.
So I followed up on a few links from the article - can't hurt to try my luck I suppose. I'm not expecting much as I don't have enough experience to fit the sorts of jobs they seem to be talking about.
Anyway, I send off an application at ~7pm yesterday. Get a phone call this morning (less than 15hrs later) that pretty much concluded with "so why did you bother to apply then?". Made for an amusing start to the day [lol]
It did get me wondering whether Evil Steve ended up getting a job in the industry. Been almost a month since he updated his journal, and not many forum posts lately...
So, point of this post... if you're in the UK and want to work in the games industry they're apparently desperate for anyone. Maybe you can even sell your idea of that MMORPG...
