Year 3 continued. Interviewing! Finally after all my hard work and dedication to looking for a job, I got an interview! Volition, Inc. flew me up to their office in Illinois for a two day interview. I spoke to several people, going over everything. At the time, they were making an open world game that, I believe, eventually became Saint's Row. At the time that I saw it, however, it was nothing like that final product, but I digress. The interviews all went very positively and I was very excited. I got put back onto a plane and headed back home just KNOWING that I was going to finally get my career off the ground and headed toward really happening! But it was not to be. The studio had a hiring freeze and they did not hire me or anyone else for the job they had advertised. I was truly bummed. I was entering 2003 without my dream job and I was really discouraged.
