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.
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.
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.
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!

Slip me $500 to "grease the wheels".

$500= Industry slang for hand job
Seriously, it works.
Good luck!
