Where is Paizo Located?

[Jared Ouimette]

OK, I drove all the way to Redmond trying to get an interview, and for some reason, cannot find your listing in the phonebook. Where can I find you? I can't believe I can't find you, Oregon is so small!

Spoiler:

lol

You can always look at the contact us part of the website. :)

Why am I just learning about this now! Stupid natural "1" on my Perception check!

Well, hopefully no one gets hired in the next 24 hours. I'll need tomorrow afternoon to throw together a last-minute, 1,000-word writing sample to go with my resume.

I don't know, I thought about playing it cool and handing them a blank sheet of paper instead of an actual sample of my work.

Man, our roof looks like a WWII battefield. Or the moon. No wonder it creaks and groans at night.

I still kind of think "second star to the right, and straight on till morning" might be a better answer to the OP...

What's all this about the roof?

Man, that pic really brings out the "delightfully non-Euclidean" aspects of the place.

I was thinking the same thing...the lots to the west and east look fairly normal, but Paizo's building looks like it's on the border of an alternate plane of existence...I couldn't get Google Earth's camera into an angle that made it look less trippy...

Why am I not surprised that Lisa knows that the roof makes sounds AT NIGHT?

The first night I am at the new space, Vic was cursing at the servers and working on them till almost midnight, so I got bored and started to walk through the warehouse, marvelling at the mountains of boxes. All of a sudden I hear a *thump* on the roof and then the sound of creaking. My mind starts racing, thinking that a Hezrou or something has landed on the roof and is about to crash through, eat me, and steal my soul. Then I noticed groaning and creaking all over the warehouse. Turns out the roof is made of metal and at night, as it cools from the summer sun, it starts to contract a bit, and thus the groaning. I, myself, like the Hezrou image. :)

You mean you can't just link to your RPGSuperstar entries, point dramatically, and say: 'There! There is my writing sample!' (?)

Edit:
Double checks.
Oh, hmm, Aelfric Dreamslayer, the crazy undead druid elf/human. :-k
Okay, well you do have the very good reason that you were too terrified of retribution from the Crawling Chaos at the time to properly convey the 'Nyarlathotep is planning to invade us, look out, Nyarlathotep is going to invade us from the Dreamlands! Anything is justified to stop him!' aspect of Aelfric. ;)

Good luck anyway. :)

If only I'd seen this suggestion yesterday, I'd have saved so much time and effort. :)

(Nah. If I hadn't been designing a new base class for use as a writing sample, I'd have instead spent yesterday reformatting my resume to resemble a monster stat block. Either way, I'd have been busy.)

I was never near the place baby! You got nothin' on me copper, I'm just a part-time lamplighter! I... I... BAD IS GOOD BABY! DOWN WITH PAIZO!

Vaguely-on-topic question:

Should applicants expect email messages confirming the receipt of their applications?

That's a brilliant idea. I'd really be able to eliminate employers I didn't want that way.

I thought of doing that, but then considered that, as much fun as it is to apply for a job at Paizo, it's still a job. My lawful nature wouldn't allow me to present anything but a properly formatted resume. Also, I figured I wouldn't be the only one who thought of it, and didn't want to appear unoriginal.

Yeah, this fella did it a few years ago, and I can swear I've seen others.

Yep, I arrived at the same conclusion after following the same train of thought. Hence spending an evening putting together and sending in a fresh writing sample, as opposed to getting cute with my resume.

More or less, though some confirmations might slip through the cracks. There's quite a few of these afterall. If you haven't heard something by the end of the week, start getting concerned.

Good call.

I like how all his skills are art-related until you get to the end and he has points into Use Magic Device and Tumble.

One of the posters on the page commented that it was "too busy." I don't think that person got the joke that it was a character sheet.

I personally didn't like the gun firing bullets across the top. I mean, the character sheet aspect I can appreciate, but I wouldn't hire anyone that turned in a resume with clip art of a gun on it unless I operated a gun store or something otherwise closely related.
