Career Burd!!
12 years ago
Most of you probably already noticed, 'cause of my most recent submission, but...
I GOT THE JOB. YAAAAAAAAY!! *explodes into confetti*
So it's official! No more pathetic laid-off unemployed burd. I formally accepted the offer to be a web designer for GameStop corporate. This career is a perfect fit for me, because it is a lot of graphic design (in line with my passion) and a bit of front-end web coding (in line with my degree), and is right in the salary range I was hoping for with great benefits to boot. If you receive GameStop's newsletters and promotional emails, I will be the designer behind a lot of that from now on, as well as a portion of their website content. I start on Monday, and I couldn't be more excited 'v' They told me they were really impressed with me and that they think I'll be a great fit and ugh it was just...so good to hear that. The poor shape of the economy and the silence I was hearing in response to the vast majority of my applications was really starting to wear down my self-confidence and optimism.
Thanks so much to everyone who encouraged me, believed in me, helped me out with commissions, and pulled for me during this tough time. ;v; It really does mean the world to me to have support like that. And to those of you who are still searching for that right job (or any job), I can truly sympathize...keep at it though, perseverance wins in the end! If you get a hundred "no"s and one "yes," it's still a resounding "yes!" If I did it, you can do it too!
I'll give y'all a full report on how awesome it is after my first day or two 'v' I anticipate maximum levels of awesome based on the Master Chief statue in the lobby, Game Informers scattered everywhere, Call of Duty themed guest badge, and game posters all over the cubicle area. I haven't been this excited for a first day of anything since...ever, I think! I just can't wait!
PS. Since some are bound to be wondering: no, this won't affect current commissions or the anticipated reopening sometime in Feb-March. Still on my art game!

That's awesome Merry!!!!!
again hon, congradulations! I really am happy to hear that you got the job<3
..I'll miss the cute and fluffy "Looking for job"-birds, though. :c
I'm sure at times you may have felt that settling for something "less" would have been the only option after struggling through so much uncertainty. It's definitely not a fun feeling. All that being said, this really is wonderful news, and it shows that your talent has clearly been recognized and appreciated, so congratulations! This sounds like an amazing job, and one that will undoubtedly give you so many options as the years progress. I'll definitely be on the look out for the next few gamestop newsletters to see your influence =D

I hope to see fluffy little hippogryphs soon! :D
Congrats :3
