Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:35 pm Post subject: My new job! |
|
|
Well I just got off the phone and...
I just got hired Blizzard Entertainment as an assistant general manager for in game support! This is like the dream job I mentioned before that I've been trying to get! Basically what I'll be doing is I'll be in charge of a team of Game Hosts, Game Master, Senior Game Masters and Specialized game engineers. We're basically a team that handles a server of WoW that deals with all the in game tickets and assists players make about bugs, harrassment, equipment and item issues and anything else the annoying, bratty, rude sniveling turds make. It also means I'll be gone for a bit once this is all finalized, because... I'm moving to California! It's an actual office job in Blizzard's HO in Irvine California! And all that other cool stuff I mentioned the last time!
I'm so freaking out right now cause ever since I learned about how good Blizzard treats their employees and everything I've been working hard and finally when this position opened up I applied right away as I had all my stuff from my -soon- to be old company Simutronics all worked out with recommendations, resume and everything. And just finished my second phone interview today and they said after a few final things, the job is mine! _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

Oh ha! Oops, this was meant for the Zexen boards. >_> I'm still jumping up and down and freaking out about it so I wasn't really paying attention. *coughs* Ah well! I don't really care since either way this is a huge thing for me! And besides. This is Kikito's fault. It always is! _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

That's pretty sweet if you're into that sort of thing, which I know you are. The video game freak inside me is totally jealous of you right now. I wouldn't really mind a job like that myself. Haha. But that is really cool. I hope it makes you even more happy than you expect it to. Good luck with your move, Milan. |

Thanks everyone! It really is a great opportunity for me because not only is it a good job for a great company it gets not just a foot in the door but all of me. I'll be leaving for CA the 21st it seems, hopefully I'll be able to find a place to live fairly quickly otherwise I'll be living out of a hotel for a bit. The move is probably the biggest thing for me in a way as well since I'll be going from living in New Hampshire far in the Northeast, to living in the far Southwest. I don't handle heat too well so I'm hoping it's fairly temperate for the winter and I'll be able to ease my way into the hot summers. >_> _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

That's, amazing. Really. Making lifeless teenage people's fake lives better. It looks bad but if you think of it that away, I know, but it's still an awesome job nonetheless.
Congratulations! _________________

Hey now. I do play the game too yanno. And I'm certainly not a lifeless teenager. And really that's mostly a typical stereotype as well. The players age varies widely to like 10-60, with the most amount being around the 16-23 mark. And honestly I tend to find that the teenagers overall are slightly more polite than the adults too.
Obviously I'm a bit defensive about that. :p Mostly because it's a stupid stereotype that alot of ignorant people use to bash games and the people who play them. And rather focus on the .5% of the player base that -do- take the game too far *coughsDeborahTatecoughs* Rather than the rest of the player base who lead normal, healthy and successful lives.*coughsTomBradyorFeliciaDaycoughs* _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

Ah, no offense meant. It's just something I blurt out most of the time when I hear of WoW, especially after that damn South Park episode...
Oh well. Well, congratulations again! _________________
