WoW gave me a job? ;)Follow

So many of you might know I'm getting canned from my job on June 30th.

So I've been looking for what I'm going to do next, I'm not sure yet, still wondering if going back to school or starting a business would be an option. Turns out I had an interview for a job today, same field and everything. I'm going out of curiosity more then because I want the job or anything.

I stopped by the corner store and bought a Computer Gaming World magazine, since they always to some waiting time before an interview.

The interview goes very well, while the guy might be an expert ************ he seems genuisly impress with me. So the interview ends...

Human Ressource Guy (HRG): Well, good interview. We'll contact you Monday to let you know our decision.

Me: Thank you.

/Get up, shake hand, pick up coat - which revels the CGW mag underneath it.

HRG: You're a gamer?

Me: Of course.

HRG: Any game in specific?

Me: Well, mostly World of Warcraft lately.

HRG: You'll have to change server then.

Me: Oh really? (ORLY?)

HRG: Yah Really (YARLY! - he actually said Yah, not yeah)

Me: Which one are you guys on?

HRG: Zul'jin (I think that's the one he said)

Me: That's pve or pvp?

HRG: PVE

Me: :\ I see. (Must have shown in my face)

HRG: But we pvp a lot.

Me: Alright. Well see you Monday.

HRG: Yeah, see you Monday.





I don't even know if I want the job, but I got a feeling I'm going to get a call saying I got it :P.



Maybe I should add this to my resume:

World of Warcraft 2004-2006

3 level 60 on both Alliance and Horde (Shaman, Warrior, Rogue).

MC experience.

Guild Leadership Experience

Rank 9 in pvp

People put weirder things on their resume all the time.


Two years cross-platform application experience.

Dedicated, intelligent worker. Excellent at completing tasks and dealing with frustration.

Two years team building and leadership experience.

Excellent people skills.

Should be one hell of a great work enviroment at the least!



7 hours of WoW chat, one hurried hour trying to accomplish the days task before running home to play with the boss.

I am sick of the field :P. However, it's so much easier to go with flow, put my resume online and wait for the phone to ring then to actually go back to school and start somewhere or start a business. I'm a bit of a coward I guess :(

And while he job looks more challenging and interesting then the one I currently have (for now anyway), the shifts and the pay are worse. Kinda hard to justify that.



lol, my inner voice actually went 'Crap! Carebears!' when he said that. I'm assuming it showed on my face because he went right out and said they pvped a lot :P

Brings tears to my eyes, well said :D

We actually have a special module in the University dedicated to teaching us to rephrase things in that manner :D

I somehow thought this was going to be a plight of the chinese gold farmer post.

Baelnic

"...uh...Tyr...you just killed our CEO."

lol that's great Tyr!

Cool, i knew you guys were from Canada, but i had no idea you were both in montreal too!

Does finding it amusing to run into ppl from your own town on the net make me a geek?

That's awesome Tyr =D. Who said videogames never get you anywhere in life?

Hahah ... HR guys are PvE stylez anyway ... Just roll a toon on that server until you get a raise =)

I'm on the south shore ;p... I just work in Montreal. :P

Which city/town?

It better not be Chateauguay.

...Wow, I haven't written that word since grade 5. Awkward one.



I go to Plattsburgh all the time for the mall, because there's still lots of things you can't find in Quebec.
