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 modding experience during a job interview, then you are incredibly likely to get the job.

need additional evidence

[bobbtmann]

I mentioned that I was contributing to A Star Wars mod for freespace 2. I got the job, but they had nver heard of FS2. I don't know if that counts.

[QuantumDelta]

I also got my prior (not this) job while mentioning FS2 in the interview..

moar evidence:

jobttuta obtained job with help of blueplanettuta

[CP5670]

I put "mod development for PC games" on my CV and my website has a link to the PI site. The jobs I'm applying to are not in software development (although they will involve some of that), but many employers like to see involvement in things like this.

i get paid for being symptomatic of schizophrenia and i tell the therapist about my internet friends on the freespace forum

does that count?

5(000) years ago, Jobber5000 obtained job with help of SCP5000.

So far, all data points support thesizzler's hypothesis.

HYPOTHEOSIS

Is this like hypothesis and apotheosis

'cause that's totally the name of a WiH chapter

[Sushi]

Pretty sure I mentioned dabbling in the SCP at some point in the interview process. Obviously the hypotheosis is correct.

If nothing else, it's my new favorite word.

[Spicious]

I recall mentioning PCS2 in one of my Google interviews.

[Turambar]

Worked for me at Epic

[StarSlayer]

I mentioned I was involved in FS2 modding when I interviewed at my current job, I was talking about hobbies than as part of my pitch though.

[Ghostavo]

What would happen if two people mentioned FreeSpace when applying for a single job?

[redsniper]

They would create a second job so they could hire them both.

[Davros]

when applying for a job stacking shelves told employer I would be very good at filling up the free space
hypothesis proved.......

[Mongoose]

Man, I haven't actually done anything to contribute to this community.  I won't be able to test the hypotheosis.

[Galemp]

I showed off my high-poly Dis to the architecture firm I applied to and got the job. More supporting evidence.

My employment agency just called Goober5000 to give me a reference... let's see what happens.

[Davros]

Davros senses exciting new blackmail opportunities for Gooby

[Mars]

Man, I haven't actually done anything to contribute to this community.  I won't be able to test the hypotheosis.

I know the feeling, but at the same time, this wouldn't relate to my field of employment.

That said, I do want to start contributing more.
