Work - The pros and the cons...
-
Dunno how to post pictures with imgur these days, but got my first monthly figures report. 105k worth of stuff out the door, top showroom did 153k, I placed 6th out of 15. But all the other showrooms had an extra week on me, because I opened on the 7th. I'll take that, was roughly what I was aiming for, if they'd pro rata'd that missing week, would be sitting in 2nd or 3rd.
Decent wage next month as a result. -
Good stuff mate.Come with g if you want to live... -
Give me a shout for a pint if you ever visit the Warrington store. -
That is great for a first, shortened month. Well done.
Hell it's great anyway. -
Currently wading through 400 emails sent over the weekend, the tone of which can be seen by the reviews on here:

Fun! -
So erm, the new update has not been considered a resounding success then?
-
Oops. -
I mean, it probably could have gone better.
-
The truth is that the powers that be decided that we had to build a new app from scratch. The dev team told them it would take 9 months, they were given 6. It’s impressive that the app exists at all, not that that’s much comfort to the users.
-
I take it the dev team is forwarding these reviews to the powers that be and asking how that 6 month deadline is working out for them?
-
Maybe the dev team should just have given 150% effort to the task? Lazy.

I've booked myself onto a course next week.
3 days learning Unreal Engine 4.
A keynote and two workshops each day, with the final workshop based around blowing stuff up.
Breakfast, lunch and soft drinks included during the day. Food and open bar on the first night, drinks and nibbles on the second night.
£100 all in, bargain.
It is an official event so I suspect there is an element of marketing involved here. Trying to get into some bigger studios, especially architecture houses.
Only downside is the commute of 1 hour 45. I looked at hotels and laughed. It is at the Excel centre, hotels were £250-£500 per night lol. -

Who is that with?
Also, I'd be interested to know how that goes. Please keep us posted, liv. -
It was directly with Unreal (Epic).
Some recruiter posted it on LinkedIn and I thought it looked a good deal.
This is the event...

Will let you know how it goes.
Real time is really growing in my side of the 3D world. Some of the visualisation work looks amazing considering. -
Excel's near my house, hold tight the DLR cru.
If it's over the weekend at all I could grab a pint. -
Sorry mate it is Tuesday to Thursday and a rare reappearance in London means my evenings have been booked up.
Thanks for the offer though. -
I thought so. Gonna have to behave myself.
I suspect the keynote on the second morning may be a quiet one. -

Coolio, thanks.
My current outfit is gaming investment and publishing, but we're also big on workshops and knowledge sharing. I'd love to hear your thoughts - what worked? what didn't? how much it helped? etc. -
No worries, will try to keep that in mind while I'm there.
Like I say I suspect that to a degree this is a marketing excersize, will be interesting to see how much they push it that way. -
I don't run interviews often, but I scheduled 4 candidates yesterday and today for a temp post in December and January. 2 of them just didn't turn up. No attempt to contact, no messages. 1 cancelled at the last minute.
Anyone with more recruitment experience think this is normal? Okay, it's only 5 weeks employment, but the pay isn't shabby.PSN : time_on_my_hands -

Standard for me. Had a girl coming in for an interview at 1pm today at one of our units. She called at 12:30 to tell us she was running a bit late. Then never showed. Don't know what happened. But its kinda the normalSFV - reddave360 -
Don't get that kind of mentality.PSN : time_on_my_hands

We have 15 positions going. Contacted 10 applicants, only 4 accepted an interview and none of them turned up.
