ancalime halfway up this page[EDIT: page 4, this post went on a new page] seems to have gotten a position[dunno what job though{ancalime?}]

noone else that's posted it here

[ancalime]

I told them in my job app that I was applying for Analytical Methodologist or Staff Operations Office, but that I could serve as a PM Regional Director for my area if they needed one. No mention of what I actually got hired for, though. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say maybe the "soc64" in my new email address refers to "Staff Operations [something]."

I sent a firm message that I wouldn't accept no for an answer, hopefully they'll let me play. If not, I don't think I'll be sending any documents so if I can get a job without that, i'll do it.

[chaos]

considering how they never stipulated how many people[or people per job] they're accepting, the lack of a specific title in that acceptance mail and the need a portfolio[or whatever]
i'd guess that they're accepting people depending on different criteria...

by the by, when did you send the application, ancalime?
and did you get the need a portfolio mail as well?

[ancalime]

Sent my application in yesterday (8/22) at about 11:20 AM, got the initial form response back within an hour, no request for a portfolio or LinkedIn profile. They did have my real name from my app, so if they wanted a LinkedIn profile they wouldn't have had to search hard, but I wonder if the portfolio request isn't particular to PM applications.

seems we need linkedin if we want a job then

maybe

[ancalime]

By the way, if the HR paperwork Jim talks about includes an NDA, I'm totally not sharing any more.

I just watched the game for the first time, KILLER MOVIE!!! I'm am soooooooooooooooo much more into this ARG now! If only we had the $25000 entry fee for the real Game, it sounds mad!

Kind of like Eagle Eye. Someone directing you to do things and go places. Although in that case it was really sadistic.

@krystyn: I know what you mean about the film, but the thing is, it wasn't real life, it was a movie. It used the impossibility of certain things to tell the story. If it had gone the way it would in real life the film would have sucked! Also, I think the point it was trying to make was that we are predictable creatures and our actions are not as free as we think, look at performers like Derren Brown, he manages to plat things in peoples head to get them to act a certain way. He was able to get four people to attempt to rob a cash truck with a toy gun just using suggestive people and a program of suggestive semenars.

About a month ago, I told a friend of mine that any ARG based on The Game would have happened by now, if someone was going to do it. He's never going to let me hear the end of this.

Signed up to play but from reading this thread I am going to sign up to work for them as well. Wild spec: what if this turns out to be an inverted ARG, with a character "playing" the game and us, the real players, "PMing" it? That would be wicked cool.

created linkedin, invited CRS

see what happens

really hope that they don't expect actual knowledge in the field
