Gearbox is Hiring!
Are you a homeless bum who wants a job working on games? Is your whole life consumed with Half-Life, and you want more? Saw over at the FingerShack that Randy Pitchford has your solution:
Gearbox is Hiring! We're looking for someone to hammer at the game during our completion phase to help make sure Half-Life: Opposing Force is the best it can be. This is a little more than a testing position because development tools will be used, but less than a developer position because very little new, creative work will be possible at this stage. This could turn into a full time developer position at Gearbox, depending on the successful applicant. The job description below is taken from www.gearboxsoftware.com +Level Designer Intern Learn what's involved in shipping a top title from the inside as you work with our experienced staff of level designers to fine tune Half-Life: Opposing Force. This is a unique opportunity to get involved in the game making process on one of the most anticipated titles of the year - even if you have little or no experience. What we're looking for: - Must live somewhere in the Dallas, TX metroplex - Must be 18 years of age or older - Must have reliable transportation to our offices - Must have played Half-Life and enjoyed it - Must be reasonably intelligent and a quick learner - Must be available to work part time between Sept. 13 and Oct. 15 - Some exposure to Worldcraft helpful What you'll get: - Training with Worldcraft to perform duties listed below - Hourly $ Compensation - Mention in the Half-Life: Opposing Force credits - A signed copy of the final game What you'll do: - Work part time at Gearbox Software's office for five weeks - Testing and bug reporting of Half-Life: Opposing Force - Place ambient sound effects in game levels - Identify (and assist in the correction of) level transition errors - Apply consistant, generic special effects in levels - Random texture alignment throughout the game If you'd like to take advantage of this opportunity, apply by e-mailing: jobs@gearboxsoftware.com. Include your name, age, location, and a short description of why you want and deserve this job. Successful applicant may be considered for full time employement with Gearbox Software.Sounds like a good deal for somebody wanting to get a jump into the games industries. They just hired my buddy AlphaMale as a level designer down there, so it's clear they'll hire just about anybody :)
