Still-young Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’d love to be a miniatures designer. Sadly I don’t have much experience with CAD software (past 2d engineering drawings or simple 3D stuff), and if I’m honest with myself I’m possibly not creative enough. But it would be really cool.

Show me what you can do...... I’ll echo this. When I look for new members for my IT team, I’m looking more so for somebody who has that drive to fix things. You can teach and shape the skill set but it’s having that drive and desire to do it. It’s a spark that some people have and if you can nurture it, you get somebody amazing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Sadly I lack any talent whatsoever except for procastination. Best of luck on the search. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandzak-Miniatures Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Had their chance with me several years ago. Cannot afford to make significantly less than I do now, it will remain a passing aspiration of mine from an earlier time, before I got a house, wife, career and started a family. But who knows... the winds of life can take you make places, you just need to put up your sails. best of luck everyone!

It's why I gave up spending too much time looking at CV's when hiring, and instead went straight to phone and f2f interviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuff Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I find it really cool to see GW coming here to recruit. It's obvious this isn't a typical hobby site - TGA is filled with passionate supporters of creativity, modeling skills, helpful attitudes, insightful game play analysis, and ace painting skills. This is also a salute to Ben, Gaz, and everybody else who makes this site something special. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsmith Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I am curious as to what skills and experience is necessary for the positions, as it is something that's not listed. Just seems a bit like groping in the dark writing an application otherwise. Don't think I'm a good enough painter anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key thing Ben wanted with this forum was to have a place that we could all enjoy discussing our hobby. It's very easy to be dragged down by negative comments which is not something we really want here as it just creates a bad atmosphere. Nothing wrong with people being constructive but some people don't go down that path.

Kaleb Daark Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Are there freelance opportunities? honestly, i think this is great. the fact that gw are here, amongst us, asking these questions is something which was just unimaginable in the age of kirby. This is just going to reinforce why gw sits at the top of the industry. all i need is them to buy into my aos brets idea!!! Lets sit back and actually take stock of what that initial post is actually saying to us as a community 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronos Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 23 hours ago, Lucio said: As much as I'd love to, sadly my career has moved beyond entry level jobs This, Although the opportunity would be amazing. Simply a dream job of crafting and sculpting miniatures all day, and spending all day with like minded people. I mean it's mostly what I do except that I don't get paid for my models (mostly conversions with the odd bit of sculpting) and that my Teaching job takes up most of my time. @GW Citadel Recruitment, does it require the designer to work in house at Nottingham, are there any freelance opportunities? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHappyTime Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I’d love to take the job. Based on where it would be located though. My wife will make me pass if it’s outside of Texas (her job restrictions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Like several others I've no skill set suited to either position, but I do want to see thanks to GW for reaching out and for giving people this opportunity! Hope you get some great applicants and some people get to put a foot on the ladder of a dream job for them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi chaps, we've got a 60-strong team, all in one room. Pretty much half of that number are miniatures designers, when new designers join the team, the say something like "wow, with this much talent in one room I can learn so much!" We absolutely recognise the other benefits of everybody being on site as well, if you needed to talk to a tool designer it's a 2 minute walk away; a 'Eavy Metal painter it's 5 second walk; another designer ....... etc The onsite bar, the gym etc I understand the benefits of remote working ( we even tried it years ago.....) but the benefits of all us being under one roof far outweigh. So, sorry, we don't consider freelance. Cheers all Matt 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
