Hi /g/,
A few years ago I wrote VSTs, mainly eqs with fancy little options and nobody really noticed the shit for years on github.
I also wrote a trading bot and a soundcloud taste analysis tool, as well as a lot of useless stuff.
Last Friday I received an email from a HR responsible at a local company who makes VSTs, the email said:
>Hi Anon,
>I'm Stacy Stacy, responsible for technical recruiting at XXX. We build professional audio software used on hit records made by world-renowned mixing engineers.
>I was taking a look at your GitHub and was impressed with your experience in C++, we feel like you could be a perfect fit with our team & product. If you think this sounds interesting we'd love to find a few minutes to chat soon—is there a good time for a quick skype call in the next couple days?
>Thanks,
>Stacy Stacy
>XXX - www.xxx.com
To which I replied by the end of day by inviting them to call me on Monday.
This is kind of my dream job and would allow me to get my hands on some badass projects.
But here's the problem, I have no fuckin degree, I am a poor student who left his uni behind to work in restaurants, and who nows live off unemployement welfare while waiting to get back to his studies.
What would you suggest to maximise the chances of me being hired ? Never had an IT interview in my life. I want this job so bad.
I'm just wondering how can I tell my story to come up as a must-have employee ??
Anyone experienced with that ?

Why porn site builds professional audio software?

If she really had a look at your projects and wrote you that email afterwards you don't have to worry about your education.
just be enthusiastic and tell them that you've heard a lot of great things about the company (looking at their history helps)
>>
>research company. Look into the artists they've supposedly worked with and say you're a fan of one (preferably female for SJW points)
>Go back over those old projects so you can speak about then if asked
>As far as your lack of education, don't ask don't tell
>Dress professionally, even over the Skype call. Be sure to wear pants (this is an actual problem that warrants this advice)
>>
>>62482181
They conctacted you, not the other way around. Don't worry about minor shit like a formal degree.
>>
>>62482181
>>62482475

they'll ask about your education - just stay true and tell them you couldn't afford to finish it
>>
>>62482181
Since ur unemployed make sure you wear a suit or a good shirt with tie if you can't afford one. You should understand what projects they are working on, a broad outline of the industry and the major producers they work with.
>>
Not being employed right now could be an issue.
So come up with a good lie to explain it:
>my mother was sick so I left the workforce for a while to care for her
You can consider saying something like that if you're comfortable lying.
Overall, come across friendly and enthusiastic. Your goal is to sell yourself, so talk about how awesome you are.
>>

>>my mother was sick so I left the workforce for a while to care for her
It's a bit more like:
>no money from family or government, had to pay my rent by working so had no more time to study.
But it might come up as excuses for being lazy.
>>
>>62482275
yeah OP this sounds fishy as fuck. why would Stacy Stacy the porn star send him an email?
>>
>>62482774
Whatever, only talk about it if she brings it up, just touch on it briefly then change the subject to how fucking good your VSTs are.

This job sounds cool I'm jealous.
>>
>>62483152
Thx for the advice and support.
Shit that's my dream job, I'm also making music and have a lot of friends who are DJ and Producers, some even own record labels.
It's so fuckin ridiculous, I made these things years ago, then I had some bad periods where I would just break because I couldn't stand landing on the wageslave jobs and missing uni. For a brief period of time, I thought about ending it because I felt like less than nothing . I already mentally prepared myself to be that asshole who failed his life and is trying to get back to uni with all the kids around him. And now the exact contrary is happenning, I'm actually getting the job some of my ex classmates who did well would land in a few years from now.
