So I finally managed to pluck up the courage and hand in my resignation letter to my manager today. Made sure he understoof that I was extremely grateful for having this opportunity and experience but the industry just isn't of interest to me and I find it hard to get excited about a product I have no interest in to market.

So.. what now? Did I do the right thing? From a personal view, yes of course I did. The job was stimulating or exciting and the environment I was(still am at the moment) working in, is incredibly mind-numbingly boring and irritating - some things I left out when talking to my manager. I simply can't make myself stay in a job which I have no interest in, purely for the money aspect. So yes I did do the right things.
Was it right for me to leave at this time in the economy? Probably not, no.. I saw on television this morning that unemployment in people aged between 18-25 has hit the 1 million mark and there I was handing in my notice. I don't know how long it's going to take for me to find a new job, I'm kind of putting my hopes into networking more at MCM Expo at the end of the month. I'll be looking into game internships and any other vacant positions, trying to post more on sites like this to try and gain some recognition in some shape or form.

The way I look at it, is that Im 23 - almost on the wrong side of 20 - but Im still young and I dont feel like I should be stuck in a tedious job when I can push myseld to excl in the industry that I actually want to be in.
So anyone in the UK looking for a PR or Marketing Assistant in the games industry... I am your girl! I am ambitious and eager when working for something I have a huge interest in =)

Lighting connectors.... just not something I can get excited about..! >_>
