The results of the job fair were better than i thought they would be. Ive three callbacks from studios which ill have to relocate in order to work at. Those are at the bottom of the list as id rather stay in southern California. Disney gave many people including myself a callback, but it was only a somewhat desperate urge to send our portfolios for consideration. Working at Disney would be a great way to start with a nice salary and work hours although id have to sign the contract that allows them to own anything i create. Itd basically be like lending my soul to a huge conglomorate. Another option is Midway entertaiment who seem to be eager to get me to start a preliminary internship which wont be for much pay and carries no guarantees. I know that video game jobs carry the risk of unpaid overtime and low wages so well see. Nickelodeon is supposed to call me any day now about a position possibly for Spongebob. Not bad after being turned down by Nick two times prior. Warner brothers, who i was hoping to get a callback from seems to have mistook my portfolio for someone elses and never contacted me. I intend to make them aware of this even if i have to show up in person. Dreamworks as well as a few others are due to contact people at their own liesure. Im really hoping for Dreamworks to as it offers much of what im looking for. Id even be willing to ignore the fact that they made Shark Tale. All of this is quite a dilemma, but a good one. Ill try to keep my options open for as long as i can without losing an opportunity. I guess ill see what happens.


Update: Well it seems that Midway is the only one i can consider as the others were either out of the question or BS. The companies who said that they would call have not called anyone. Looks like ill be job searching the usual way. Im not too thrilled about Midway, but ill get to interview and check it out on monday and know for sure.

I know it's different for us outsiders, but I wouldn't think of Midway too badly - they are, in video games respects, a fairly well-known company, and a position with them might ring more bells with future employers than an upstart company.
