[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7339009, member: 92239"] There is a difference between people that work at the hobby for a living and actually apply to work at WoTC and people who work at the hobby on DMSGuild and do not formally apply to work at WoTC. Writing for DMSGuild does not automatically apply for a job. Nor has the guild been around for 10 years, and frankly I don't think the writers are as visible as those on YouTube are. Example: I played World of Warcraft for 10 years. All was well and I was probably a damn good raid leader amongst other damn good raid leaders. No one cared. I managed to still run good raids after many, many bot banning waves. While this proved that I wasn't botting and was damn good. No one cared. I streamed raids for a year and due to gaming with the right people ended up at Blizzcon, then got offered a community manager's role without interviewing. Stuff happens. I still prefer D&D to video games.. probably not as good at it. Like any hiring process, if you've got a brand are visible are good at what you do and don't act like a jerk, you get places. Grats Matt! KB [/QUOTE]
