So, um, I need 3-4 years high level production experience to get a job, and I need a job to get experience...
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS INDUSTRY MAINTAIN ITSELF?!?!?!

Recruiters will say a lot of stuff in job applications to scare off the ones who are likely to be scared off, on the assumption that only qualified people or total nutbars will actually apply.
Be a nutbar. Be all of the nutbars.

Re: Sooo, Siggraph
Yeah, I excel at nutbariness. I'm probably gonna start actually sending applications and stuff out in about a week or two once I get my demo reel finalized. But I'm starting to seriously consider just taking a while off and step back from all this stuff and let myself recover. Just do some retail work or something. It's starting to look mighty tempting at the moment...

Re: Sooo, Siggraph
Y'know how I got my first AE job? Lies. Straight up deceit.
I learned how to tape load on the job after I got it. I needed and wanted that job, and I knew I was sharp enough to figure it out, and i did. I make no apologies. Neither should you.

The DAVE School got me a job. Represent.
Just sayin.
EDIT: Well, my reel and a recommendation got me a job, but the DAVE school is responsible for most of both. I just paid attention.
