We've also posted jobs on Krop, and this thread: http://www.qbn.com/topics/594938…
Jobs are mostly for developers/UI people, but you can still come and enjoy some free drinks.

open bar? I might have to swing by for that.
- yep you just have to rsvp, apparently by emailing: iant@garagegames.comSigDesign

Me too, free drinks + videogames sounds like a nice Wed eve.
- dibec0
Nice! May swing by and say hello.

it's wrong to single out kid abductors like that. They are people too.

So what is this about kids getting abducted by bums near Ground Kontrol? I haven't heard anything about that...
- SigDesign0
clearly kidnapping is less than 1%... i love this site:

I feel much safer now knowing I'm more likely to get robbed and/or assaulted than abducted in that neighborhood.
Free drinks and Job Opportunities is well worth the risk, good luck, didn't mean to rain on your parade.
Ground Kontrol still rocks. Anyplace that has Centipede, Paper Boy, Tron, Joust and Simpson's Pin Ball is still OK in my book.
- I think it's more likely you'll get pissed on... i think that has to be like a 50/50 shot!SigDesign

Just wanted to remind everyone about this... it's this Wednesday, and the positions open are:
• Web Developers (front end + back end)
• Senior QA Engineer
• Product Manager
• User Experience Lead
• Data Analytics Engineer
• Marketing & Monetization Leader
• Support Specialist- title of this thread was perhaps a bad decision :)SigDesign

I'm fooler2 and I support this thread... even know I shat on Ground Kontrol earlier.
I'm not looking for a job nor am I qualified for any of these positions but I might show up and challenge you to a game of Joust.

Yeah I am still down. But things are very last minute for me, really would love to meet some peops.

SigDesign >>> Have you tried craigslist? Seriously, there are more job posts on CL than kr0p, creative+hot+list and coro+flot combined. Simplyhired.com also has a decent search for the less rockstar design jobs...
Also, have you had any portfolio reviews with firms or agencies? I don't know you and you don't know me, but having a refined, focused portfolio might land you something. I've interviewed with about 5 agencies in my short time in Portland and it's rough even for people with 5+ years of experience. Luckily I have freelance clientele. I believe 38,000 jobs were lost here last year and 38,000+ moved here... But i am sure you are quite aware of this... OUT.
On a side note...
Keep up the good work Dibec ;)- Make that 38,002 transients (+2)cirquemedia
- chris are you coming?dibec

Well, I'm not really the one in charge of the actual job postings... I am sure our HR person has been working Craigslist as well.
Portfolio reviews are a great idea... next time I'm looking for a job, I'll definitely do that. Good portfolio is everything... it's what got me the job here (not that I had an amazing portfolio, but it's the reason I got the job)....
So many people moving here with no job...

he doesn't need a job, he's posting for people who want a job
- My bad, I am so used to people posting about how there are zero jobs here, yadda yadda...cirquemedia

I am 99% sure I will be there, any other local QBN folk coming?
