Yesterday I went to the JobCentre and printed off about a dozen jobs I liked the look of. Come lunchtime, my mobile rings (as it has a tendency to do these days, with all these different people having my CV): it's one of the Games Workshop Human Resources team. Over a month ago, I applied for the White Dwarf Journalist vacancy, but received a

Congratulations on the job!

Selection day rather but I know what I meant! What does it mean by campaign materials exactly?

[keletkezes]

Something I don't have... Stuff you write to make a campaign out of, which is usually a game with an over-arcing plot that takes many sessions to play and generally lasts about a year.

That sounds encouraging. Good luck with the selection day!

[keletkezes]

Thanks! :D

Job well done.

First of all, congratulations on the job. In these times of civil unrest, having a job is a privilege, not a right - and I should know, working in the social security office.

Which leads me neatly to my "second of all." I have never seen any position like White Dwarf Journalist on the jobs system that we use. But each job category has a four-digit identity number and there's all sorts of weird and wacky ones on there like Mime Artist and Commercial Blower, so I'll have a look on Monday.

I've never seen Games Workshop advertise in any Government material. In fact, the only time I've seen them acvertise in anything that's not their own publication/website was for specialist engineers and machine workers. That was in the local paper.

Job well done again.

I see. From the way that the first few lines read, I thought that's where you'd got it from.

I'll still have a check, tho' - there are all sorts of weird job titles on there.

hmm, i'd wish you good luck, but you might think it was cheesy ;)

the potential job sounds great- i can imagine you striding around being a journalist for them :D *hugs*

[keletkezes]

It's onlya 12-month contract, but at the end I'm more likely to get a job with them than if I don't take it, obviously :)

[frazzled_frosty]

yeh, i think getting your foot in the large reinforced battle-scarred door is the main thing... once you're there and trained up, they're unlikely not to want you to stick around... i think it's just a safety clause in case they hire someone who sucks, lol.

[keletkezes]

Oh yeah, I mean, the rate they go through people who work on the shop floor is amazing: it's not great pay but most of them get drafted into the back room pretty quick.
