Goin' back to where the REAL money is!

So, having sent out probably 50 resumes, responding to job postings that in all honesty I was mostly only PARTIALLY qualified for due to my having been moved around so damned much during my tenure at WBOL, I was starting to get really depressed. Totally unmotivated, on Wednesday I retreated to the one thing that makes me happy... or at least keeps me from focusing on my depression... being a board whore. :-) While making my rounds, I went over to WebOverdrive.com, an adult webmaster resource board that's run by the company where one of my dearest friends (Jessica from PrimalX.com) works.

I click on this thread: LA Based WebO Members: Look Here! and find the following post:

I am in desperate need of some extra help around here. I am basically looking for a content manager. I would like them to have at least Basic HTML skills, understand compression, Photoshop skills, etc. If you are some that has advanced skills ... please still apply anyway. I would up the title and salary for the right person. We are also will to train the right person.

This is an IN HOUSE FULL TIME position located in the San Fernando Valley.

If you know of anyone that wants a starting position with a fun adult company ... PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, pass this info along LOL

So I posted a link to my resume AND emailed one directly to the gal. She called me within an hour, and we set up an interview for Thursday.

I went, they liked me, and she offered me the position on the spot! :: happy dance ::

It's a small (about 10 people) company that's poised on the brink of major growth, as they've just partnered up with one of the larger production companies, New Sensations. Their flagship websites are ShanesWorld.com and CollegeInvasion.com (Neither are safe to surf at work!!!), and they're increasing their production from 1 DVD/month to 4/month, so they're glad to have someone like me who can jump right in and handle everything from content management to capturing and encoding, to helping with affiliate and customer support as well as networking with webmasters to bring in more affiliates. In fact, Megan says she'd like me to court the gay site webmasters both on the boards and in person, which is fine by me! I know a bunch of them anyway, and they have great parties. :-)

You all know that my heart's always been in the porn industry, so this gig is like a dream come true. I agreed to accept not-so-good pay for the first 30 days until we all feel that everything's going to work out, but after that there's no telling how lucrative this could be. There's no dumbass corporate structure or rules saying you can only be promoted or get a raise after a prescribed period of time. It's pretty much, "If you work hard and kick ass, you'll get promoted and get fat raises... whether that's two years from now or two weeks from now. The sky's the limit."

So there ya go!

As ever,
Your friend the proud (and now full-time!) pornographer,
Rox
