I get to work with some very talented people on my team here on DC Universe Online, several of whom worked for years at Cryptic Studios on Star Trek Online. So naturally, we have a lot of great quotes to pull from both franchises. This morning, one of those quotes came up again and reminded me of how many people are agonizing over rejection emails they're getting right now. Having just interviewed several fantastic people for a role I opened here, I know nearly all of them are about to get a rejection email from us. I want you all to know something: it's not because you necessarily did ANYTHING wrong. You could have done everything right, but still lost out. Your qualifications and references were enough to get you on a call with a hiring manager like me in the first place. You got to speak with members of my team and while not all of the feedback may have been perfect, I assure you that no one we hire ever gets by unscathed, either. So yeah, as Patrick Stewart reminds us in his role as Captain Jean Luc Picard, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.” Don't get caught up in what you could have done differently. Don't agonize over minute details, inflections in your voice, if your facial expression wasn't genuine enough, if your answer was too rambly - you may not have made any mistakes at all, honestly. Someone else just matched the specific team fit slightly better, or had slightly better experience in a slightly different area, or scored in some other category just slightly better. It's possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. Get up, brush yourself off and as we're told... Leave your hesitation and your self-doubt behind. You've got more calls to prep for and one of these days, it's going to be you who ends up scoring just ever so slightly better in a category or two. And here's the real secret - you'll invariably make mistakes on the interview you finally nail, anyway. #gameindustry #getbusyliving #youvegotthis #opentowork #hiring #boldlygo

At 21, I saw a job opening at Blockbuster. The world of movies fascinated me, so I went to the interview with a nose ring and a leather jacket. I talked about my summer vineyard work to make some extra money, and unexpectedly, a week later, I got the job. I spent a wonderful 3 and a half years there, surrounded by movies and cinema enthusiasts. Every day, I learned something new, not just about films but also about the importance of customer service. One of the fundamental principles I learned and still carry with me is: "Don't make promises to your customers that you can't keep." This slogan taught me the value of integrity and transparency, essential qualities in any professional and personal context. Remembering those moments makes me smile and reminds me how important it is to follow your passions and stay true to your values. What lessons did you learn from your first job? ✨ #Work #Experience #Career #Blockbuster #Movies #CustomerService #LifeLessons

Dear Companies, hiring managers, and anyone else, If it takes 3+ weeks for you to make a decision on whether or not you want to hire me, then you're not good at what you do. If you cannot recognize talent and potential, then I don't want to work with you. If you need all of your arbitrary boxes checked, then I don't want to work with you. I've worked with RedBull, Coca-Cola, ESPN, Lovesac, Disney, WB, FOX, Nickelodeon, Burgerking, and loads more. I've won awards, created best selling products, have diverse style, can illustrate, layout, render, and just about anything else. My creativity is world-class. I'm tired of being a monkey in a circus performing tricks on command only to be told it's not the right trick. Going on 7 months of this bullshit. I need a bigger shovel. (sorry for the rant...I just went through this process with another company and am really tired of being strung along)

Experiencing a layoff can be one of the most challenging trials in a professional's journey. It underscores the harsh reality that dedication and hard work do not always ensure advancement in the corporate landscape. However, such occurrences are prevalent in the fabric of corporate America, and it is imperative that we not only come to terms with them but also refuse to let them define our paths. After four years, I found myself in the same position – laid off without explanation, alongside many others facing a similar fate. Like them, I initially allowed myself to be consumed by questions and uncertainties. Yet, I came to the realization that this setback marked not the end, but the commencement of a new chapter in my career journey. The incessant questioning and replaying of scenarios ceased to hold significance as I embraced my newfound freedom to seek out a workplace that truly values my dedication and loyalty. I am now empowered to explore the many opportunities available, eager to engage with fresh faces and share the depth of my expertise amassed over 18 years in broadcast production. With this, I am officially available for new opportunities, ready to embark on the next phase of my professional evolution. While my reel showcases a snippet of my broadcast production experience, its brevity fails to capture the entirety of my extensive career span.

Can experience be measured in number of years? Can a single number sum up one's professional journey? 📣No, it cannot ... Let's take the example of Luke the Nuke, a British hero. At 16 years old, his growth trajectory has been unlike any other. 👉Consider the same approach to most workplaces and ask yourself while hiring:... Did the applicant advance in their roles, take on more responsibility, learn new skills, or stagnate in their industry? You will likely find that years of experience in roles don't always give you the best possible person! #humanresources #talentaquisition #darts #alwayslearning
