I'm an experienced 3D artist who have worked in game, design, and advertising industries. Recently I've applied for a junior position in a certain game company. They requested an art test shortly after I sent my CV. So I finished the test and submitted it within the time frame they gave. I didn't hear anything from them…
GDC is going on right now - chances are alot of the people that need to look at your test are out of the office. The only time I've gotten feedback on an art test I've done is when I've been brought on site for an interview.
I've usually gotten confirmation when submitting an art test. It helps to ask a question when you send an email so there is a reason for them to respond. Something like "here is my art test, when should I expect to hear back?". I usually try to check in every week if no timeline has been given, but I usually ask when I…
I agree, move on, keep applying, keep going forward. You might be thinking I got an art test they must like what they see! Well not always. If they saw exactly what they needed to see in your portfolio they would probably set up an interview. Some places send out art tests to everyone just as a way to screen out the…
Yeah, move one. If they can't get back to you with a confirmation email within a week do you really want to work there? I mean, I know places get a lot of applicants, but if you take that much time out of your own life to do an art test, and they can't even send you a pre-baked email saying they got the test, that's pretty…
Wow, I must say I didn't expect so many replies in such a short or period of time. Thank you guys so much for your suggestions and attention! Here are some information I left out in my original post since I didn't want to make it too long for people to read: 1.The test happened a month ago. 2.I emailed the HR who contacted…
I've done many art tests, to my recollection I've only heard back once. Best advice I can give is to not sweat one job too much. You're going to regret hassling them too much, or at the wrong time, or not hassling them enough one way or another if you don't get the job. I'd say try to call them in around 5 days, if that's…
I haven't done this for a while but I had this happen to me at least twice, maybe three times in the past. I would echo Earthquake's sentiment that you should at least wait a week or two before hassling anyone. I think this can be pretty common with busy HR departments. From the HR perspective, once they've gotten your art…
Well you said you've already emailed to enquire about it, so definately wait at least a week or so before shooting off another email, if they don't reply to next one I would assume nothing more will come of it. Obviously getting shown interest enough to ask you for an art test will naturally get one's hopes up, so in the…
