Interesting Job Posting... Someone might be interested... Pixar
Alan Martinez
So… I’m in the position of looking for employment again…
I have a relative that works at Pixar in Emeryville and I took my kids to visit her and have a tour of the facility because why not, it’s Disney/Pixar and it’s super cool…
I thought I would check in and see if they had any positions open and I found this…
If anyone is interested and applies, let me know… Might be able to get an inside track with my relative and maybe she can get a referral bonus while we’re at it… or not…
