Oh I do believe in myself, but I for some reason I get nervous in situations I normally wouldn't. Like the first phone interview with them I was both cold as fuck and nervous because I kept hearing from the HR person that there's a lot of pressure these coming months (they're pushing out a lot of projects) and they're looking the best of the best. So during the interview I stuttered quite a lot, over-talked them (I was on speaker talking to 2 guys) while they were mid-sentence, and hesitant. As you can expect, I was surprised when they called a second time and said they liked my initial interview. On November 25 2010 11:30 ShoCkeyy wrote: Very nice, and congrats! I say they need a new website though, make it happen! Yea, seriously, haha. Working on their corporate website is one of the first projects I'll be tasked with, is what I was told.

Hell, if I can then so can you. :D Good luck! | ||

Watched some of the game videos etc, looks like they are moving in a great direction, you're a lucky guy~ Yea, they're looking really good. I haven't dove deeper into their End of Nations game, but I read up on the mechanics and gimmicks of Rift and it sounds really cool (ie. an ever-dynamic server/environment).

I tried that with my last 10 blog posts, but it just didn't feel the same. On November 25 2010 12:48 imDerek wrote: Congrats!!!! Hope you will enjoy your work are you a new grad? are you from san diego?Hehe, thanks. Nah, I'm not a graduate. I dropped out of college. Okay, that's a lie. I got disqualified from college. I was initially a Civil Engineer major. All my web engineer knowledge and skills are self-taught (I think that's why one of the interviewers was really interested in me because he was self-taught also). | ||

I thought I wasn't cut out for Civil Engineering at first, but then I realized, after trying another major, that I just wasn't cut out for college in general. I wish I would've realized that years before. | ||

No wonder interwiever took interest in you, autodidacts are not that common | ||
