And I was just like, what can I do for six months to get me like any penny to my name? And at the time, Bungie was hiring for a six month contract admin position. And I'm like, I know nothing about video games, but it's the exact time frame that I need and I can do admin work, I'm sure. So I applied for it. I went into the interview.
And no joke, for a six-month contract admin role, it was an eight-hour interview. I interviewed with a representative of every single department at Bungie. And it was the best interview ever. Everyone was just so kind. They were super excited to hear about my story. At the time, we had recently separated from Microsoft. And so Bungie as a whole was like...
really interested in figuring out, hey, how do we leverage this amazing community, this amazing game that we have, and how do we leverage it for the power of good? And here I was, this 22-year-old person who was kind of volunteering for a living at that point, and they're like, maybe you can help us figure this out.
Maybe you have some ideas on how we can harness this thing and do some good in the world. So yeah, so I started with a six-month contract. Um, and we pretty quickly like started diving into the world of like, how do we start a nonprofit? Like, what does that look like? What would we do if we were to start a nonprofit? Like, how can we actually like, you know, build this?
Um, and six months turned into 17 years and just like, I may be in my mid forties.
It does. Yeah.
I told my friends that I was interviewing. They're like, yeah, like I'm just like this, this company called Bungie. Like I'm going to go in for an interview and all my friends like slack job.
He's really tall.
I don't know.
He seems cool.
Very, very hard to break in.
She got a job at Amazon.
Um,
I feel like there's, like, millions of people out in the world that just, like, hate me right now. Like, this just doesn't happen.
No big deal. You know, it's fine.
Yeah.
Well, congratulations. That's amazing.
Yeah, you did it.
Well, I think just take a step back and then kind of moving into the culture side. So I think part of the reason why both Jared and I probably got jobs here, even though we got jobs in something that we weren't necessarily directly experienced in, is because we're...
I think both really strong team players, really adaptable, really willing to jump in to whatever is necessary to make sure that our teams are successful, the company is successful, the projects that we work on are successful. And so obviously there are specific jobs. If you're not an artist, you're probably not going to get an art job.
