absolutely wild that so many TV animation productions force hopeful hired to basically become internet celebrities on their own time and dime in order to be hired
Remember, expecting a sizeable internet presence, social notoriety, and popular connections from your prospective hires is basically expecting free labor before even hiring them
i guess this would be less of an issue if you were trying to hire a social media consultant or something but uh. You& #39;re trying to hire an artist. What does their skill as an artist have to do with how well they can manipulate algorithms
It& #39;s important to hire people who can get along with others and take things like criticism, but you can usually tell if they& #39;ll work if you give them an interview.
Their internet fame and connections shouldn& #39;t be the thing that precipitates said interview

I am part of this system. I still have never technically gotten a job off of a test--I have gotten all of my jobs through a mix of my work and my connections, and my connections have been 75% to 99% of that.
I hope i can continue to get jobs, even entirely through connections I make, because, uh. I need to eat.
But i will not stop talking about how the whole system is fucked until we manage to somehow unfuck it
