I don't think you guys were very clear at stating whether or not this job would require a housing relocation to new york, of if that's simply where the office is based and work will be done over the web... but wow, gameloft. |

| I could be wrong, but I think when they say "the position is based in New York" they mean they expect you to be in New York. Sounds like a great job for some New Yorker. |

They sent a response email to my application, saying they liked the sample I submitted and would like to see more. I sent more, and they have yet to get back to me (it's been about a week). Nothing unusual for the business world. It's a shame really. I'm quite proud of my work, and I'm positive I could make marvelous art for them.
