今天在暴雪於 UCLA career fair 的摊位帮忙站场子,整理出的 FAQ
最重要的情报,应该是这个:
於
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas
的 "NEW GRAD OPPORTUNITIES" 是今年的新措施;许多入门等级的
职位专门开给於2014秋冬至2015春夏的毕业生
是个毕业生进入游戏业界的好机会
剩下的,我懒得翻成中文了,将就着看吧 XD
============================================================
Q: Does Blizzard offer internship positions for summer 2015?
A: Yes. The current plan is to post all open internship positions
on
http://jobs.blizzard.com/ by Nov. 1. The application deadline
is Jan 31.
Q: What type of internship positions are offered?
A: The official list should be posted on
http://jobs.blizzard.com/
by Nov. 1; however, you could expect positions in Business
Intelligence, Engineering (automation, game design, game
development (audio, graphics, cinematic, AI, ... etc. everything
you can think of in Computer Science)), infrastructure (Battle.net,
IT), ... Basically if it has something, anything to do with
game production, chances are we probably will offer internship
opportunities for it; but it varies from year to year because
not every team would always sponsor the same positions.
Q: Do you hire / offer internship to {first, second, third, fourth}
year*{undergraduate, master}*{Computer Science, non-Computer
Science} students?
A: If you have the right skill sets, experiences plus passion
and motivation for the job, we don't care whether you are
a {first, second, third, fourth} year*{undergraduate, master}
*{Computer Science, non-Computer Science} student.
Q: What is it like to work at Blizzard? Do you have a dress code?
Do you guys do lots of overtime?
A: Awesome and fun. Not sure about HR & finance & any other customer-facing
types of job; for engineers, it is *casual*, and I mean really
*casual*; to put it in another way: No one cares.
About overtime, yes and no. Usually most teams understand
that overtime can never be a healthy trend, so they avoid
it. However, there will be situations that require it --
for example, to make all BlizzCon preparation work PERFECT;
or, to prepare for any major release; or, if any critical
infrastructure like Battle.net is down; then yes, we do whatever
it takes to get the job done. Otherwise, no.
Q: What types of full time positions are you offering?
A: Go to
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas
and check them out.
Attention, new grads! If you are graduating in Dec. 2014
or Spring/Summer 2015, make sure you check out the "NEW GRAD
OPPORTUNITIES" section. These are entry-level types of positions
for new graduates. These positions are full-time positions
and are opportunities to get into Blizzard to get first-hand
experiences with the game industry. Personally I think of
them as "internship on steroids".
Q: Do I have to be a big gamer / a big fan of Blizzard to work
at Blizzard?
A: No and yes. No, you don't need to max out your paragon level.
Yes, we do care about whether you are a good culture fit.
A good culture fit does not mean you need to be a life-long
over-9000% dedicated hardcore fan of Blizzard; however, say
for example, if you hate ACG (anime, comic/manga, game) in
general, then you are probably not a good culture fit. Basically,
we want to make sure that you feel comfortable with the ACG
culture and are motivated whenever you work on even the most
miniscule tasks that would ultimately contribute to the end
product - Blizzard games. In other words, a good culture fit
is someone who responds positively to Blizzard's atmosphere:
challenging, cool, fun, and, fun :D
Q: Any tips on job-applying at Blizzard?
A: Think this way: You are a one-person company, and you are trying
to sell your time for a good price (money & experience). You
are the CEO and the salesperson. Your mission is to help the
hiring manager understand the value you can contribute to
their team and projects. In other words, you have talents,
and you need to find a good way to present your talents in
an honest yet attractive way (i.e. more than just words.)
