Phone interview with GPG!

Thegodzero

I have a phone interview tomorrow with Gas Powered Games! I have to thank OrangeCatNinja over at CGchat for that. So what advice do you have for me as its in 23hrs from now. Wish me luck!

Try to talk in a Kermit the Frog voice throughout the interview. Don't forget to scream for Miss Piggy to bring you a beer or change the channel every so often.

and good luck.

When the phone rings.. do a primal scream. Then pick it up calmly.

Sean McBride

congrats. I cant even get the guy to talk to me anymore since he got the job at gpg. Guess he's to busy all the time.

Just be yourself. Come on, it worked for ben. Make sure to tell them you are so hardcore you don't have to unwrap your models.

Try and figure out who your interviewer is and search for them on mobygames. try and talk inteligently about the games they have worked on (the interviewer)

Have some questions ready to ask them, try and show that you understand game tech and such, ask intelligent questions.

When answeringa phone interview question, pause and think before you answer. don't be afraid to ask for clairification, and don't pretend to talk abouyt things you dont understandm, or offer opimnuions about issues you dont have any exopierence with.

Try not to volenteer any info/opinions that might be considered subjective.

Congrats TGZ, just relax Definately do what Pak says mobygames is great for that.

Eric Chadwick

Beware, MobyGames is far from complete, and has omissions/mis-attributions. Just treat it with a grain of salt...

$500= Industry slang for hand job

TGZ: My honest opinion is to do the interview in your pajamas/boxers. It'll make you feel UBER comfortable and always helped me be calm.

Seriously, it works.

Good luck!

Thegodzero

Thanks everyone for the input.

FatAssasin, i know what you use to grease the wheels, and i dont want them to get all sticky, so no thanks. But if you put ina good word as well that would be cool. Or if you could tell me orange's real name before the interview at 4.

Thegodzero

Interview is over, no word on if i got the job as they have many more people to interview. I think it went well, i really really want that job! James you got to help me out here and put in a good word for me. Please! I didnt want to sound like a fan boy on the phone but i'm wearing the dungeon siege 2 shirt rite now while waving the dungeon siege map. I want this job!

Good luck on getting the job!
