Anyway, no I do not have a LinkedIn profile because I really don’t have need of one. *shrugs* Not enough “professional” experience that really counts for anything. I did not do any internships through college because there weren’t any (and when there were, I wasn’t informed).

So unless barista/dishwasher/cashier/sales associate is worth a damn to anyone as far as “paid work” is concern, I’ve got zilch that matters. Trust me, every job hunting site keeps bringing up results including food prep and minimum wage cashiering with an “Oh golly gee ain’t that a great fit for ya?” when I’m beating my head against a wall. (And yes, my resume is current, and yes, I do have a resume just not posted here).

This was more of a shout out post; I was being a bit gutsy. I’m pleased my university managed to spot this (that tickles me pink, seriously). Right now, however, I’m focusing on grad school again. I can’t keep chasing for jobs that aren’t intending to hire for another couple months and not tell you ’til the last possible second yea or nay (or just be a douche and say nothing at all) because by then I might be gearing up more noticeably for grad school.

So thank you again for all the comments. I do appreciate it.

I’m just still in a ‘professional blues’ state because being poor just sucks that hard. <3

I wish you good fortune, because it lasts longer than luck.

While it might not be “professional” (and I don’t even know where that line sits anymore for web comics, really) I think producing, writing, and running an ongoing comic and site should *easily* be something featured in your resume and portfolio, assuming you feel the work and style won’t be off-putting (and I can’t at all see where that would be the case). If you’re proud of what you’ve done here (and I love it so far) then show off! Whether it is considered amateur or not, it’s still a perfect example of actual work you’ve done, and a successful real project at that.

Also, while I don’t know how it is in writing, I do know that not all of the game studios really want to hear that their applicants are recovering WoW addicts, at least not for some positions =P Not that you put it that way, but we all know how that goes D: If you use a more modern resume format (which are often ideal when you don’t have a ton of field relevant job experience to showcase) I’m sure you can find a good way to work in how enthusiastic you are about gaming and game related story design Either that or just make sure it goes into the cover letter for any relevant companies (probably what I would do if it were me).

“But I know how to make my writing blend with another’s when necessary.”

I think that’s a great point to push, because so many times what companies seem to be looking for in entry level positions are people who are flexible to learning how that company does things in general, and are capable of and willing to take significant direction on the work they’ll be doing. Especially in team environments.

So once again, good luck!

I don’t really think you understand the meaning of the word.

If you’re going to say something is cliche, perhaps you should both mention what it is a cliche OF and maybe wait until it’s in.. I don’t know… in the meat of the actual story? It’s still in the first chapter, there’s nothing for you to make a judgement call on to begin with.

Also, learn how to type. You have a keyboard, use it properly. :/

FFS man… anyways, you girls keep it up. Screw other people. Something will come up for you, Miss Stasia.

YOU’RE A FUCKING MORON. WHAT THE FUCK IS IT A CLICHE OF?!

Keep doing what you’re doing.

Empathy appreciated, but I know what the comic is and isn’t because I know the story. *shrugs* We’re not really that far in. No cliche elements.

Sorry. It may seem that way at first, but sorry, it’s not.

Sorry actually though ure webcomic is little cliche so far , but just read your blog and wanted to leave some support to some1 in same situation. In between part time contracts probably submitted at least 1000 paper, electronic, email and phone apps myself over 16 month span but getting same letters u getting.
Activision Blizzard, Inc. is good choice – their stock is riding well inspite of all the global economic mayhem, but don’t give up hope in applying to their competitors, use everything (craigslist, monster, newspaper, indeed, etc!) Anyway good luck!
