Job Hunting
Hey guys,
Just a little feeler thread out to my fellow DFW guys/gals. I'm currently (and have been for a little while) looking for job opportunities. I'm leaning towards management roles as I have experience but I'm open to just about anything. I wanna try stay around the Allen/Plano area but I'm willing to travel a little for a good opportunity.
I can supply a resume, I just wanted to see if anyone out there knows of anywhere I should send my information to.
Thanks guys,
David

My first job was at a carwash where I progressed to a manager position, after that was Repco (Australian AutoZone), then I moved here and Ive worked at both a performance shop and currently an automotive accessory store, both of which Ive basically run the businesses for little to no pay.
I have a Diploma in design and animation and a lot of management experience but its time I got what I deserve for how hard I work.

I used Maya but its been a while now. I graduated in 2008 and havent had access to it since. I use a lot of the principles I learnt in design but I'm a little rusty on the animation front.

What type of job did you get?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I filled out the online form where you upload your resume and details. My name's David White. I can't ask you to push my name through for me, of course I'd appreciate it but I don't by any means expect it.

All they do is send your name to HR so they can get the ball rolling for a interview....... you applied for a specific position right?
