| Dear Elias, We regret to inform you that your application for audio developer has been declined. Your application exhibits a high quality range of samples and qualifications, however, we were looking for an audio engineer who is also experienced in sound effects sampling. However, we also see the opportunity for our audio section to expand, given your expertise in music. So we are also pleased to inform you that we have passed your application onto the executive office for further consideration. While your application was not what we desired for that particular job, we may open a position for a composer to collaborate with the audio engineers. Should this be the case, your name will be shortlisted. We will get in touch within the next few weeks to inform you of the progress, and whether an interview is desired. Once more, thank you for your interest in joining our team. Julie [Censored] JaGeX Recruitment |
BUT...
I am going to turn down the job altogether I think.
I am starting to get some success back here in Perth.
I'm getting commissions now.
This one guy, 4 days ago, just asked me to compose a 5 minute piece of music for him, for 4 instruments. And that's a $3000 paycheck.
And I'm getting a symphony professionally played by the University Orchestra.
So yes, my music life in Australia is rising too quickly to be abandoned for a meager salary with JaGeX.

sorry to hear.
However, your other plans look sweet.
Moving to england, (if they needed you there) would be a huge change in your life, and expensive, making it take longer before you get your money's with out of a job with jagex.

They passed my app onto the executives.
It's actually likely I'm going to get a phone call some time I think.

Nice.
Use that money to come to London?
I still think you should consider some time working for Jagex, even if you only stay for a couple of years.

Interesting. My advice would be to still take the job at JaGeX. Finish up whatever things you've got in Perth, that way you'll still have a name there. Do some work at JaGeX for a few years that way you get the "experience."
Sad to hear you didn't the first job, but it seems like you're confident you can get the other job, so no worries.

I'm glad things are working out better than anticipated.

For once JaGeX doesn't send you an automated mail.
I think it would be quite an experience to work in a corporation such as JaGeX, but then again, moving from Australia to England with no real big benefits other than the experience has it's downsides. Best of luck when it comes to your decision and your career; quite an accomplishment already to be honest.
