i dont pouet at work! ;)

So wait, your name is actually not really Okkie?

Speaking as an employer, Scamp has leading -- showing passion is very important to make yourself stand out from the crowd. However, the Optimus way of listing your handle, group name, prods etc. is a big no-no. Keep it simple: mention it, don't make a big deal about it.. unless whoever is interviewing you asks you to tell more about it of course.

No, my real name is The Atomic Werewolf!

So, Optimus, what happened with the ASEP compo. No luck this time ?

I mention the demoscene in my current CV, in some rough words what it's about (realtime computer animation) and what I do there. nothing more.
in 3 out of 4 times I was asked some more about it, and so far it was always received positive. I think it's good to mention it, but as gloom said: don't write too much.

ASEP: Of course I'll have to wait till June for the results I think. Surprisingly I think I did better at the second test (pedagogic) than the first on mathematics. I am not very good at solving maths problems that require some tricks you can't think at time. Although maybe I am over the base in this one too. Whatever, when the rate is 1 at 14, you need to write much more than what I did to be selected I think.

Hmm,. I just send my CV in few companies. 3 of the 5 could be closer to what I do. One a little outside my town but does some CAD in OpenGL, another one was surprisingly even asking for x86 assembly, low level programming, or hacking/cracking (I think they developed a CD protection scheme called laserlock, it's a known company here but many people told me they are assholes :) and another does some medical imaging app and some pluggins for a 4D voxel programm or something. Of course listening to my brother, I should have sent to 50-100 companies but they ask about things I don't even know (What the fuck is ERP?). Ok, I will continue the search but now I send some emails and got at ease I can continue coding demos too..

Greek assholes employers ? nooo way....
