General Job Posting?

Sorry if this is the most basic post but a) I don't see the forum where this used to be allowed, b) I haven't been on the site in at least a year or more, and c) I can't figure out where the general forum search went so I can't easily figure it out for myself.

Where is general job and skill posting allowed now? I see that there's the jobs and contractor thingies on the site now, but like... I don't really have a games industry relevant resume and I'm gonna look shoddy next to the guy who says he's been freelancing on the good side of a decade. For full clarification I started offering drawing and pixel art commissions recently and was just kinda hoping to get my info in front of some indie devs on a budget or something to find some work. Is there any way to just do that still here or do I need to just move on to some other website?

Thanks

You probably found it by now, it's under careers.

Not a prop, not everyone is looking for a pro or can afford one.

There is lots of Freelance website you can try. http://forums.indiegamer.com/ was always a good place to get payed work back when I was still training my 2D skills.

Heh, I mean yes and no? I don't even see any category in the careers section for art jobs of any kind. Which I get it, a lot more of this community is based around the programming/technical side of gamedev. Plus that looks like it's mostly on location type jobs and I live in the Middle of Nowhere, Mid West and don't really have the funds to move to location on the off chance a professional studio wanted to hire someone with a minimal resume.

Unless if you mean the hobby boards, in which case those appear to not be paid positions.

And thank you, I had already found indiegamer so hopefully I'll have some luck over there.

The Contractors posting is what you're looking for. These have always been paid listings for a small fee (see the Contractors box on the front page).

With the site change we have also changed the Contractors listings to require a GDNet+ subscription. This is a huge discount ($4/mo vs $25 per listing) from the one time listing price, plus other benefits. And feedback has been positive for artists and audio folks.
