I' m trying to get a real job. The game industry is absolute bitch to get into. My company doesn' t seem to want to help me get a job either. I' m going to send out another batch of resumes today. I really need a new job.

At least you have a job man. It has been impossible for me to get one. I have my degree and stuff, but they expect me to come out of college with f.ucking work experience. Plus, I don' t know anyone either, so no connections. And here in the US, no offense to US citizens here, they are pricks when it comes to hiring foreigners, at least in California.

None taken. The equal opportunity bullshit they pull over our country' s eyes is a load of tripe. People don' t get hired because of their race, economic standing, hell, even their weight.

What do you have a degree in Chimera?


Bachelor of Arts, major in Mass Communications and Theatre arts. My main specialties within both are journalism, photography and pretty much everything related to acting methods and overall stage design?

Why do you call me Chimera?

Sorry, I keep doing that. I think it' s because Chimera has a definition. What the hell is a Chimura? Is that your name?

Note the number of hits.


Anyways, you should come to Canada. You' d have no problem getting a job at all. Is there a field you' re interested in?

I have actually looked into Canada. Mostly if I can do anything that has to do with photography or creative fields really, though I am willing to do anything to start.

How about it Agent? Wanna offer shelter until I am on my own two feet over there?

Btw, Chimura is nothing. Is just Himura, Kenshin' s last name from Rurouni Kenshin and a C in the front.

What are you trying for? You can' t just get a job as a " game designer" right away. It isn' t an entry level position. You have to work your way up as either an artist or an engineer, or prove yourself in mod or some other way.

When I put my resume up on gamasutra and careerbuilder I didn' t even have to search for jobs. They called me. You should try that if you aren' t already. Applying directly to companies works well too.

I have no interest in being a game designer. I want to be an environment artist / texture artist / concept artist. Any of those will be fine. I know I have to go for an entry level job... I know the process, I deal with it every day.

getting a job in the US as a foreigner is tough. I' ve been checking Canada but it seems my BSc will only get me a job in Universities or schools. I hope to leave and either go to the US or Canada by September.

Why the C?

You could always get a job in the Canadian Government (clerical or administrational work). With a BCs you could get a job with good pay and salary with a many opportunities for raises. Ottawa (the capital) is the best bet for this. Half of Ottawa is filled with government buildings.

Alberta is another great option if you want something out of the office. Canada is the second largest oil reserve in the world, a lot of it is in Alberta. There' s a lot of money being shuffled around there. Cost of living is high in Alberta though, so you' d want to make sure you get a good job.

EDIT: My own post pissed me off.

-Fucking age checks for online videos/sites.  As if kids aren't smart enough to lie.  So annoying and pointless.  Did some dipshit pass a law somewhere stating that gaming news sites needed to have these?

-My family.  Actually most people I meet irritate me.

Flu Season. Fucking daycare kids are exploding left and right and parents still bring them here thus infecting other kids no matter what precautions we take. I'm bout to get a hazmat suit soon if this keeps up.
