That and anyone who was looking to apply might have kept the information to themselves so less people would apply and have a better chance of getting the job.
I would apply, but I only work in 1D. Clearly not what they are looking for.
But, I am not too familiar with the required art programs
And I doubt my style is even what they'd be looking for and in two weeks I'll be going back to school, so I won't have a lot of time on my hands.
This kills me.
