| Doobie_wop said: It's kind of off-topic, but what are the chances of a 20 year old with barely any professional business experience and has 2 years of a Marketing degree under his belt, got when trying to apply for Operational Sales Manager job at a small time anime, game and general J-pop culture publishing studio for an Australian magazine. They are apparently partners with SEGA, THQ, Sqaure Enix, Sony and a bunch of anime publishers. I'd go for it, but being only 20, I think my chances are fairly low. It also doen't help that I look as far away from the general perception of what a general anime lover looks like (recently shaved head, olive skin, looks like a trendy Lebanese gang member) and I doubt those qualities would help if they want me to go to conventions, promote a maid cafe (specifically mentioned that in the listing) and just interact with otakus (who I hate with every fibre of my being). I would like the job though. I've always wanted that niche job with a close knit group of people that involves some of my favourite hobbies (games, manga and anime). I'm also worried that if I do get the job, I'm not going to be experienced enough to pull through and be as good as they want me to be (because of my lack of experience). What do y'all think? |
Application can't hurt. Worst that happens is you get a full-time job you hate, but when you're only 20 that isn't too bad, and even if you stick it out for a while you could find other opportunities through that job. Simple.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
