Craig Bennett2th Bennett Corp Epsilon Shimmy Alliance 9	Posted - 2013.06.05 06:18:00 - [1] - Quote I seen Mint got a "job" with CCP as a mod or something. How does someone go about doing this, or do they have to have a large amount of fans backing them? Also, are mods a paid job or a volunteer job? I am asking because I'm in between jobs right now, and I don't have enough to move to one of CCP's locations.

Thanks for the heads up. Is a community team member a paid position? As I stated, I am in between jobs. So I need to find a paying hobby or job.

"REMOTE" I've been checking for a while now and there hasn't been any global jobs.

Foodpimp Heaven's Harvesters LEGIO ASTARTES ARCANUM 115	Posted - 2013.06.05 08:10:00 - [9] - Quote The worst time to look for a job...is when you are out of a job.

You're 100% right on that. I have an aerospace degree, I'm 25, and I have a background with NASA. (I would've had a job if NASA didn't do a massive layoff after the man spaceflight thing) Anyways, I've been looking for a job for a while now. I've only been on a handful of interviews, and I found some disturbing things. Most people out there treats people who doesn't have a job like crap. On 2 of my interviews the other person asked if I currently held a job. When I told them the truth, the interviewer said I shouldn't waste their time and they only hire people who isn't a lazy bum. (I had a thousand dollar suit on. This included snakeskin shoes.) Both of those times I reply with the truth. I said I didn't get fired. After Obama gave the man space flight to Elon Musk after a backroom deal, many people both in and out of the space business lost their jobs. I explained how over 10 thousand people who worked in plants that made o rings, screwdrivers, screws, etc lost their job when their biggest customer NASA and it's contactors went away. Over 300 thousand people who did work in the space industry also lost their jobs. (Some of the top engineers that worked at NASA is now running some theme park rides and changing oil because that's all they can get now) Then I explained how I've tried to even create my own job (Tech Reviews and Help), when I couldn't find a job over a good amount of time. Both interviewers said something like it didn't matter on why I don't have a job. The problem is I still don't have a job. I'm also finding a lot of places don't want to hire someone of my age. (something about experience) The sucky part is, I can't find an entry level to get more experience. Now for those of you who are wondering where I'm at. I am not in/near a big city. I'm in an average town in NC. (The reason why I am here is because 1. I can't find a job that would relocate me, and 2. living with family is better than a box) Anyways, I'm just lucky I have some money kept away to find a job. I can't imagine what it's like for some of these people who are worst off.

I didn't have this problem when I randomly decided I wasn't going to work for 18 months & blew all my savings to get by, but I guess when you work in an industry where literally 70% of the people in it aren't suitable for the work... The guy who was sitting next to me in the first nullsec round table who had obviously not had a shower since before boarding his flight to Iceland, you really stank. You know who you are.

Get laid off from a company after 30 years and over 50, chances of finding another job with similar pay is next to nil. That's flipping burgers or forced retirement. Did you minor is CS by chance? As that's more marketable, aerospace is a very narrow aviation field. Better to hit up Boeing / Lockheed-Martin.

As that's more marketable, aerospace is a very narrow aviation field. Better to hit up Boeing / Lockheed-Martin. marketable is a iffy term now and days. Most people when they hear someone is marketable, they think that person is going to get a job quickly (weeks or months). I've been looking for a little more than 2 years. But, I know what you mean. There was a lot of people who I worked with that was up there. A few of them are doing OK, but I know a few are iffy. Anyways, I didn't minor in computer science, but I am thinking about going back to school. (I'm just holding off right now because I don't know where I will get the money, and I don't want a "useless" degree like my aerospace degree.) But, you are right about CS being marketable. If I find a well paying job, or if the state pays for it then I might end up getting a degree in IT. As far as Boeing and Lockheed. There is a few jobs they said they would hire me for, but they wouldn't relocate me. Obviously, I couldn't take it because of that. BTW, one thing I would like to say is thanks to those who are trying to help me on this problem.

Nah, it's not just his line of work. Over in the UK it's pretty similar. Most employers or HR will throw away CVs from people who are not currently in work. I kind of have two fields of expertise in my working life, IT and healthcare. I was out of a job for about a year and finding one was a royal pain in the ass. Now that I have been working and apply for other jobs though, getting interviews has been a piece of **** (easy). Having said the above, asking about jobs in the general discussion section of a computer game forum is a pretty daft thing to do. Aspirations of working for NASA or not. My advice would be to pick a profession where you can build a portfolio. I will be an employed software developer very shortly and I got the job over other experienced developers because I have build a website showing off some of my fancier programs. A portfolio goes a long way. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice."

A portfolio goes a long way. The original questions was to figure out how people can work remotely for CCP. Like I said, I've been watching the job list on the CCP site. There hasn't been anything global. So my question is did she somehow find a job I didn't, or did CCP make one for her? If CCP made one for her, my question would be why and how can I make them make me one. IDK, some how the thread went off topic, but it's nice to know that others understand how hard it is out there.
Arduemont Rotten Legion Ops 1506	Posted - 2013.06.05 10:02:00 - [16] - Quote It is hard. Like I said, it took me a year (ish) to find something after my Osteopathy business fell through. I just had to aim a lot lower than I thought I deserved and then work up from there. Once you've got a job, getting one that's better is relatively simple in comparison. At least that's how I have found it, and what advice someone gave to me when I couldn't get a job in healthcare. Might be worth contacting them through their careers section if you want to find out. I have no idea how Mintchip got their position. You could always ask her by private messaging her youtube channel or twitter (actually have no idea if twitter has private messages).

I live in GA, and cost of living here is pretty cheap. Marietta (where the Lockheed-Martin facility is) is more expensive due to being close to Atlanta, but nothing like what an employee would face in WA or CA for rent/living expenses. If you're willing to commute it's m-u-c-h cheaper. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

Initially he lived on Iceland for a while, but later on he returned to Denmark and continued his work from his apartment. t'was this dude: www.conceptartist.dk

The two big drawbacks are the godawful traffic, which IMO rivals that of Los Angeles, although if you plan well you can usually avoid the worst times/spots; and the local politics, but of course any major city's local politics will give a sane person a migraine, so it's not like Atlanta is any different in that respect.
