People that work in the video game industry

Post by **Jackal** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 5:05 am

I just got an interview with a local company that works within the video game industry. Now I've never had this type of an interview but it's a job I want quite badly. I need to fill out a questionnaire and have it ready for the time of the interview. I guess my point is do you guys have any pointers? I should mention that the position is for that of a research analyst and that they were interested in my thesis work in university.

tell m about your history in gaming (how it has always been more than a hobby), how you can constructively critisize current and upcoming games, and dont forget to mention any mapping and/or texturing you might have done, be it for your own interest or commercial products

its quite hard to get a foot in the door of the gamingbiz. i had one and i lost it, and that fucking sucks

Same here but it was mainly to my incredible intellect not because I failed at talent.

.. at least that's what I cry myself to bed with...

Frankly, I'm pretty sure I'm under-qualified for this job but I hope I at least have a fighting chance. They're involved with intellectual property rights around video games and such. My anthropological focus is geared towards the way they do business so I hope it works out.

So you'll be helping to crush smaller games companies because they had a few of the same obvious ideas your company's game has, huh?

Sounds evil.

Good luck. Two of our level designers started here on a thesis study for uni....and they've been given well-deserved, fully paid positions.

What exactly are you gonna do there? Anything creative?
