but there is no strict interview for the presidency

[redsniper]

Well there's your problem!

We need to implement a Presidential interview!

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I have the feeling that the only FreeSpace known to politicians is what is between their ears.   Heck with the interview how about a competency test.

[NGTM-1R]

I didn't mention FS at the interview.

...but it's possible it's the reason I'm the only male employee left at this branch. Even the night crew and the janitor are all female now.

Hey, if you tell politicians that you've been working on stuff related to freespace, they'll consider you a patriot I bet. You know, freespace in freedom-land!

unless they though your were giving away space for free in which case you would be a traitor to capitalism, which as we all know is the highest crime in the west!

Think saying FreeSpace will help me get a job as a page at the library? I need a summer job 

[iamzack]

i applied at Jimmy John's yesterday

if they call me i will be sure to shout freespace into the phone as soon as i pick up

[Stealth]

I have acquired a job programming at my university's Space Physics Research Laboratory. Freespace was mentioned at the interview. I hypothesize that if you mention Freespace during a job interview, then you are guaranteed to get the job.

need additional evidence

yeah absolutely don't mention that in every job interview.

sure perhaps if you contributed to a MOD, and you're applying for a programming or development job, then go ahead.

If you're applying as Director of IT, don't mention that you play freespace...

[CP5670]

I wouldn't say anything if you just play it, but if you have been heavily involved in some mod project, putting that on your resume can only help you. Employers won't hire you on just that basis but they generally like to see signs of creativity like this, and in a marginal decision where they have a couple of equally qualified people, they will go for the more interesting person.

I was recently asked about my "mod development" for a research scientist job (in DSP/control algorithms) and a quant analyst (finance) role. Neither of the people knew much about games but seemed very interested in learning more about what I did.

[Polpolion]

I have revised the hypothesis for more accuracy, we still need more evidence.

[Galemp]

RESULT.

Had an interview today. Mentioned FreeSpace. They want me back next week to meet the folks I would be working with.

No official offer yet, but it's pretty positive.

[Goober5000]

woot

[JGZinv]

I will be giving a resume to two people on Sunday, it will contain note of my mod leadership.

Rejoice... for there shall be more raw data.

[Galemp]

Hypothesis confirmed! FreeSpace-referenced interview has led to job offer!

[Kolgena]

Grats!

I leech material from this community. Probably wouldn't want to bring that up at any interview

[iamzack]

I leech dignity from this community. I bring it up at every interview.
