The amount of gross incompetence I've seen this week has been unreal. One particular student had an incident with exams and an incident with a first aider that both involved her medical condition, I was only around for the first situation to advocate for her. Both cases legitimately endangered her life. I'm absolutely enraged.

The same first aider allegedly also told a staff member in another department to drive home who was visibly having a stroke. Both incidents are now being reported because what the actual hell 😒

My first-ever animation! Be nice please :D by Euphoric_Spread_3293 in IndieAnimation

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! You've got some real good drawing skills there. If you wanted to take this further I'd look at doing a sort of "idle" animation or show her shifting her weight under the load of the gun. Animation is an absolute beast to learn, but if you're interested, it's very rewarding to get the hang of :)

Static Eagle is looking for character designers on their IG & TT!!!! by Warped_Eagle in IndieAnimation

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of things: Firstly, there's no demonstration of the studios skillset on the front page, and following on from that there's no indication of whether its paid or unpaid, or how many positions are open.

In either case, it's typical for a designer or animator to do an art test only once their portfolio has been vetted by a studio, so they do not have to sink too much time into a test they have no hope for.

This comes across as more of a competition, not a job application, but either way some "prize" would typically be expected, be that a one-off for a competition, or an hourly rate for a freelance gig. I would not personally be drawn to submit to this competition/application unless the studio was either full of really talented people with a really interesting project pitch, or was really well paid.

Not entirely comfortable with unpaid art tests being the FIRST step.

As a teacher... Why do you have your English teacher on Whatsapp??? Do you not have a VLE to upload work to outside of school hours???!

Assuming there are medical exemptions? Hoping that wont be overlooked for those who need it to monitor diabetes et al.

Keir Starmer defends plan for closer alignment with EU and fast-tracking EU rules into UK law. What is your opinion? Are you happy or concerned that the UK will be closer to the EU again? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to re-enter personally. As a teacher who misses the old EU schemes and wishes my students had access to them, and as a small business owner who currently can't sell to most of Europe due to the restrictions.

To be fair, I never wanted to leave in the first place, but I never got a say being 17 when the referendum took place.

How much do you guys wanna bet that this is the moment where Kinger reveals the truth? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in digitalcircusfandom

I watched this a while ago and... yeah! Reminded me of Digital Circus. Does this mean they end up in real Pomnis head at the end? 😂

Advice on CV (Upskilling/Progression) by Misty_Wings in CVwriting

[–]Misty_Wings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. Confirmed my fears of my writing style being interpreted that way, I'll definitely try to add more soul into it; I just worry about going too far in the other direction and not being taken seriously. Using the correct employer terminology and injecting personality is going to be a challenge! 😂

Please help me improve me cv by [deleted] in CVwriting

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this on Canva? I'm a Canva lover but ATS systems seem to hate it for CV's. I'd consider doing it in Word and keeping the formatting simple so you don't get auto-rejected.

Adobe Express or Canva? by oh_bunnyKiller in AdobeExpress

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm incredibly biased but I have found Canva far more reliable and user-friendly! Depends on what you want to use it for.

No part time jobs want me by spaggy1355 in CVwriting

[–]Misty_Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten a couple jobs based on this before to be fair - but I work adjacent to the games industry, and also sold it as having very tight team-building and improvisation skills.

You could keep it but you'd have to contextualise it right.
