    Jobs

    I was wondering if the IFX forums could have a spot where artists and employers could post for jobs.
    Could be tremendously useful for some of us looking for art related work and commissions.

    That's it, just a simple idea. Not even sure if it's been asked already.

    Fab idea. Although that could mean a lot more work for our mods!

    Re: Jobs

    They have it too easy right now anyway, I think it's a good idea, particularly if they're posted by genuine employers instead of random people who want to pay you in order to skin a model because they're too lazy.

    Yeah, the mods need to watch out for folks like that if they do make a jobs page >_>

    I think the moderators can manage (I hope). It would be incredibly beneficial to the artists that use this site. I mean, that is the point of all this, so that artists can more easily get work. Right? Tongue Tied

    Re: Jobs

    While at first it seems like a good idea, I then take a look over at CA's job forums and think that it's kinda nice here not having all of that. Just a bunch of us self-proclaimed artists...and some of us don't even do that...sharing various things, some of which aren't even related to art. I also think it would be too much to expect our volunteer mods to police the job forums enough to keep things "better" and even that would be subjective.

    99% of all classifieds on forums like this are - "I've got this sure fire idea to pitch, but I can't afford to pay anyone. When it becomes a big success, we'll split the profits 50/50. Anyway, you should be thanking me, as it'll be a great opportunity for you to be seen by some influential people."

    Re: Jobs

    you know what, i don't think it's a good idea, sorry solomon, i know what you are trying to do, but i think it would bring new people who are just going to fill the forum with there promo's hoping to get seen, it will also bring rip of employers, i really don't think it would benefit the forum, apart from the few elite, who are probably quite capable of getting work anyway.

    As it is we have a friendly (generally) forum, i think we'd lose that. I personally feel like DA & CA don't have anywhere near the quality of IFX & i think it's because alot of people there are just looking for work.

    Re: Jobs

    this kind of thing is catered for elsewhere, in abundence, I dont think we need it here, it would add an extra dynamic to a community that exists for the sake of art not pay.

    Actually, I was just throwing it out there. LOL.Big SmileWinkStick out tongue it was just a suggestion. I guess it won't work in this neck of the woods. Confused

    I genuinely thought it was a good idea, but I guess there's too many issues involved with it. Confused

    Re: Jobs

    just remember t oo, there are people on these forums who have gotten work because of these forums. so I don't think you need a dedicated space to promote it.

    Re: Jobs

    Hi All,  I'm pretty new in concept Art, I have designed in the construction industry for 8 years but always been an artist at heart.  Losing my job with the recession last year I decided to freelance and try to break into concept design.

    Its not easy getting in touch with the right person/company who could use you... I think a devoted page/forum discussing upcoming projects - seperated from all other forums would be a good solution?

    fates_fickle_finger (or anyone) I was Just wondering if you would'nt mind posting a few links to the abundant forums advertising work were as I would'nt know where to look? 

    all the best
