Why SE should hire me

[Noahlimits]

I at one point in my teens worked at SE in El Segundo. Why not just apply there directly instead of making a post that will likely never be read? Heck, they even post on craigslist for open positions occasionally. Doing it this way is just lazy.

Btw, unless if you plan on working for SE Japan or translation/service (which would require a lot more than a few courses in college), I'm pretty sure you don't need to speak Japanese. For anything.

AS one who knows the company. Apply and see. But I will tell you right now you will need a minimal of a 4 year Business Management degree, or in marketing management, with equal technical skill. As well as at least 5 years experience in specific areas unless the English/Spanish/french call center.

Down side is there have been numerous layoffs.

Dear SE,

I also have no real relevant skills that you need, but if you pay me, I'll fan-giggle and praise your works more than the OP. Job pls?

I felt accomplished at the end of any RPG because I knew I had read at least 1/2 of a book for that year.

I think I laughed a little too hard at that :P

And a lot of people need to learn what a joke is.

this might sound like i'm being a downer for this but... i highly doubt they'll hire you just like that... my younger brother has a friend who graduated from MIT with high honors and as a programmer/gamer and since he didn't have the right amount of years experience SE wouldn't higher him. Good luck though

I graduate from college in about a month. The job market is tough, even more so for us English majors who seem to go unappreciated in a marketplace saturated with high-tech this and science that.

I originally wanted to be a computer programmer, which was because of FFVII. But, they wanted me to take physics, and I was like "nope," as I threw my books across campus and dropped out.

I am without words...wow.

Allow me to give you an anticipatory congratulations! Graduating college is a great accomplishment, now with that being said, go ahead and get started on the GRE prep! With published research under your belt your application for grad school just became that much more competitive!!

In the MMORPG industry, your best credential would be "I was once directly involved in a MMORPG that totally flopped", since any guy who was actually involved in a successful project wouldn't be looking for a job anyway, and compare to that, it sure would seem like a credential of completely irrelevent things ought to be better than a guy who once failed spectcularly, and honestly, if your best choice is a guy who totally failed before, why not take a guy who has no experience?

All I have gathered from this is that some of you are a little full of yourselves and have taken this post WAYYYYYY too seriously.
