being a college student with no experience n other stuff
made it REALLY hard to get a job
so what i did was started to write stuff for free
in groups and other stuff
then i used that experience on my resume and BOOM i got a job

So dennis, you gonna pay taxes? Or is this an under the table company? ;)

btw, have to share this. I know this kid who is going to college this weekend,but he is so happy to go. He is majoring in computer games! That would be so cool (but hard!)

In the interview, (if ya get one), just consider that you already have the job and are wanting the company to impress you. The like total confidence in this industry. Just be like totally confident in your abilities and you will score the job, no problems:)

Steve, don't tell anybody but this is under the table <wink> <wink>

seriously, technically he is not paying me, I am doing free work for him, and he gives me free money......

well, there is a legal way of saying this:

you volenteer to work for him then he gives you gifts of money

that way you dont have to pay any taxes or anything like that

We have a tax free threshold of $5000 or so

therefore

12 x 200 = $2,400 no tax payable.:):):):):):)

What are you going to do with your riches,

Jethro's right.

I have been for Jobs in the past and tried so hard to please and never got the job.

The last two jobs I applied for I went into the interview with the attitude 'What can you offer me to make me come and work for you'.

Both Jobs were offered to me.
