I'm looking to get down to the grind, any advice?
Hey there Polycount! So far I think i'm more notorious for posting threads such as this than P&P threads, but here we are again. As usual, I don't feel my work is "good enough", but I've been challenged by members here to get a job within the year (I've got a couple months left), and well, I need help. There goes the… -

Its more like...what you know, plus who you know, plus a lot of luck. Honestly, threads like this aren't helping you. If you want to get your name out there to know people..threads like this are more damaging than helpful. I'm not going to remember you for how awesome you are, I'm going to remember you for making posts… -

It's not about who you know, its about what you can do. You really don't want to work for a guy who hires people because they're good drinking buddies... Work on your portfolio and reach out to people you respect, for advice and critique. If you do that the connections will make themselves. You really don't want to try and… -
