I've been on 3 so far: no vacancies, or only for students, but "send some open applications". Did that.Quote: Original post by Altourus
my city for instance hosts a hobbiest game developer content yearly
"Hobbiest" is more "hobby" than "hobbier"? (^_^)
I think you meant to say "hobbyist."

How can one run into an inside person? Or it's simply a huge luck?
Yeah, running into somebody from the game industry can happen just by dumb luck. I've found myself in the same plane with other game industry people. I even sat next to a rapper one time.
But if you want to try to meet them, just network like described in the networking FAQ.Quote: Original post by szecs
It's not easy even on expos or events like that, because the person has probably spoken with 50 guys just like me that day.
Yeah, you're right. It's too hard. Forget I said anything. Guess you'll have to go with the luck thing. :rolleyes:
But anyways, the theoretical question still stands: run into an inside person on the bus/airplane?
Sure, sometimes I go to pubs (if it fits into the budget), maybe I flash my uni ring, and someone recognizes it...
