My trip to Mekanism was pretty fun, I love the workplace, and the people were extremely friendly! They really make you feel at home. Before I visited Mekanism, I was curious about how our visit was going to be, because there website was just so strange! But, when I got the chance to sit down and speak to some of the workers, they explained the whole concept of there website. On my trip, I ended up learning a lot ! Not about the kinds of jobs, but the way they all get along. It even ended up being one of my questions, I asked “What do you look for in people that want to work here at Mekanism?” , she gave me a really good answer. She told me that they look at the way they act and there personality traits, that it’s not all about what they’ve learned in college. In her words, “They could be really good everything, and we still wouldn’t hire them, we want a friendly environment, we all have to work together.” I never knew that it mattered so much.
I wish that I got to see more of Mekanism though. Maybe meet some animators and people actually working on some projects. Because they told us all they can do there at Mekanism and showed us of there old work, but it isn’t the same. Also, I wanted to know more about them and there personal experiences at mekanism, than the place in general. If we had a couple of more minutes wit them, I think we would have found out more. Either way, I had a great time ! I know they’re busy, and I’m thankful for them to even have us at there workplace for two hours. The experience is great, and it really makes me think about what I want to do in the future.
