Unsuccessful job application video (Sea Water Bliss)

An animated application for the position of Communications Director at a local art gallery...

...In which I demonstrate my Command of the English Language and my Knowledge and Understanding of Contemporary Art Practices.

Sadly, I didn't even get called for an interview.

Featuring music by the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra, and the Mills Brothers.

Awesome! so is the main point of this video to plug your band? very entertaining, from a marketing perspective it's really good, I'm impressed :)

[OrangeRaisin]

No - believe it or not, the main point of the video was actually to try and get a job at a local art gallery. If I'd been trying to promote my band I would probably have included some of our music in the video. In retrospect this would have been a better use of my time. Anyway, thanks for watching.

Great ... I'd like to use this in my Career Development classes.

[OrangeRaisin]

Go ahead. I presume you would wish to use it as an example of How Not To Develop Your Career...?

It's morning now, all because of your ridiculous videos. Yes, you made the sun come up before I went to bed. Thanks a lot. But I did laugh out loud at the "excellent graphic design skills", especially. And I sent email to various friends:"Arly LaTosh! LONG LIVE HUBERT QUIZLET!" Hopefully they will click the accompanying youtube link. Now that I'm inspired...do they still give away free demo/temp copies of Flash?

[OrangeRaisin]

Yeah, I believe it's a free 30-day demo. Can't guarantee that it's fully functional, though...you should check the Adobe website.

Thanks for helping to spread the Garson love.

The Mendel and the fringe? The 306 area code? Lol, you must live in the Saskatoon area, am I right?

You are so true about modern art practices. What is called art these days..*hangs head in shame*

Very creative application video, I found it pretty cool. I think you might not have gotten a call is because they thought it was a joke. Saskatoon is also a very artsy city, so there might have been more qualified people with degrees and experience with art.

If I had private shofer then you would have been my next hire.

Sadly I only have a bike.

[TheFrenchyFry]

haha this is great. shame you didn't get called for an interview :( really thought it was a funny, creative video :p

[missinesamaro]

That was hillarious! very cool animation!

Congratulatons!

[sirdenys]

I can't believe they didn't even call you

[Justinlrb]

You wanted a job at an art gallery. You should have realized that they don't want creative people in places like that.
