Title: Internship Applications . . .
Post by: Miyabi on January 15, 2010, 06:07:29 AM

So, I'm currently kind of bored.  I'm working on writing my resume and cover letter that I will be using for applying for internships.  I can't even start an internship until next January, but I'm applying now.  I'm majoring in Game Programming for anyone who didn't know, if you have suggestions to companies I should apply for please say something and I'll look into it.

Layout

company name :: popular game

Places who will receive my application information:

Ancient :: Sonic the Hedgehog *
Blizzard :: Diablo
Camelot Software Planning :: Golden Sun *
Harmonics :: Rockband/Guitar Hero
Konami :: Silent Hill *
Lionhead Studios :: Fable *
Lucas Arts :: KotOR
Nintendo :: Mario *
Square :: Final Fantasy *

Anything marked with an asterisk is located out of the country and I'm not expecting to get, but if I do I will make them my top priority because it would add to the experience.

EA has recently laid off a ton of people, so they will be looking for as much free help as they can get.

Square Enix actually has offices in LA in addition to Tokyo.  I've dealt with some of the CS staff - very friendly, good senses of humour!

Also, Konami has a big office building in Vegas.  Nice looking place... I always want to stop and go in, but I'm usually in costume, so it might be kind of weird.

That depends, are you dressed like a konami character?

Nah.  I'm in garb, which could kind of be like one of their characters, but I doubt it.
