I've been in full-time job hunting mode for last two months, scouring usual places like craiglist NYC & mandy. Despite my suffering... I mean my works in NYC area for last two years, only a few job lead me to paying gigs, much less a permanent job with steady paychecks that I want to secure. (That steady paychecks don't need to include 401k or health insurances, for now.) But, I am more inclined for professional environment where I can work and grow to become a professional filmmaker with steady job offers.

After sending out numerous resumes, I did secure a number of interviews that led me to believe a promising result. One place was a prominent post production company and another was a up-and-coming TV production company in Manhattan. Although I thought I made a favorable impression to land the job, they never called me back. Never. Not even to tell me that I didn't get the job.

It's funny how they stressed client service and professional attitude as the most important parts of the job responsibilites, yet they failed to contact me after the interviews, after long passed their said 'decision date.' I may be starting from the very bottom as a post production professional in this very competitive industry, but I do envision myself to be a part of the industry in near future, where I may well become their client or a partner in a project. (You never know who you will work for/with in this industry, as they say.) I left them a number of messages after long wait, but still no avail. Needless to say, their lack of action spoke louder than their so-called "client service" & "professional attitude" in many different words.

I just wanted to get that out of my system and let you know that was the reason behind my lack of updates lately. Good thing I've landed few gigs since then... that's for another update.
