Today I interviewed with Nelson Staffing for a Game Tester Analyst position at Sony Computer Entertainment America. Although the interview process went well and the prospects of winning a position appear promising, I'm not totally satisfied with the job I'm pursuing.
Stability is one of the primary reasons for this job hunt. A game tester position isn't stable by any means. Work is project based and is mostly seasonal. With any luck I would be working full time through January. The hours would be odd, though, requiring overtime and weekends. Then I will most likely be out of work for a few weeks, possibly a few months.
Better compensation is another reason for this job hunt. Benefits such as health care and paid time off are not offered through this temporary contract position. Also, the rate of pay that was offered to me in the interview was [an undisclosed lesser amount,] whereas on the website it was listed as twelve. I have a print out of the listing and will attempt to negotiate a rate increase when I meet with them next to sign a contract.
What started this job hunt in the first place was the desire to pursue a dream. I want to be an artist. However, I think my current approach fails to best facilitate this goal. Instead of going directly after what I want, I keep pursuing my interests in a round about manner. At least I'm looking for jobs in the entertainment industry. Any job would be a foot in the door. I should be making more art and striving to attend the High End CG Certificate program at Gnomon.
