Neil and I have a little hope we may find someone with at least half our knowledge background to be willingly and kind enough come work with us, can you believe out of 10 applicants just 1 or 2 ever REALLY used flash? it is a relation of like 8:2, talk about odds to find good ppl, besides Im too picky, and mean and horrible and I bite heads off... :)

So, the truth (and possibly the secret) of getting to work (at least with me in my department) is not talent perse, it's more like creative minds with open concepts to work, Neil and I are no freaking genious anyhow yet we've managed to accomplish with many projects so far, I don't want to mention names here but If I ask you to do something when you actually do the minimal effort you can just to get things out of the way, does that really shows you want to work with us? I dont think so :( mostly web and even pr projects are creative, but in order to do AND enjoy you must be open to it (or like it happens be willingly to WORK, I hate away/absent ppl)

There are vacancies still, there are always opening, In fact I may be opening some for PR I believe, not quite sure yet, I must say that John and Jason are away for especific personal reasons and it's sad for me cuz I have Eric AND Alex AND Neil busy on other stuffs at the moment, not to mention Neil and I are currently busy with more than just web situations so, we do try to drain our daily stress surfing the forums more frequently now :P

Definitely.  There were some people that applied in the past, thinking KQ9 was a free ride that they could just cruise through.  When it came down to them actually having to do work, suddenly they vanished. ::)

The fact is you have to enjoy what you do and know how to work hard because our department does sometimes have tighter deadlines than the game.  And like the game, your work must meet a certain standard before it is finalized and gets posted onto this site.  Some people easily meet this standard, and others never made it, despite their fancy resume and/or portfolio.

You have to be a team player, and be able to take direction & criticism from the higher staff.  Of course we don't expect people to be perfect, but we do expect them to be KQ9-worthy.  :)

I'm good with Flash.... need some help?   ;)
I use Flash MX 2004, I've been using Flash for about, ahhh... let me think...  6 years now, I think... yeah, because when I first used it, I would always make cartoons of all my friends in Highschool!   ;B

*Grundy realises he has enough work already and shuts up.*
