BLIZZARD !!

So, today I decided to apply for a job at Blizzard!! 

I know it will probably never happen, but whats life without trying?

To whom it may concern

My name is Carmen Chanel Bolton; I currently live in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. I am employed as a Junior traffic manager at the well accredited advertising firm known as The Jupiter Drawing Room. I have a keen interest in the Office Administrative Position available with the Sound team at Blizzard.

My entire life has been influenced by a creative environment; starting with an early career on stage, I later received a diploma in television and film techniques (where I had worked closley with various sound engineers) and I have over 3 years of experience in the advertising industry, making me not only a good candidate for the position, but a dynamic one too.

My responsibilities vary as do my skills - No day is the same & they are constantly action packed, I work closely with the creative team and Studio manager. I pay close attention to detail as every each second is filled with cricitical problem solving and coordination, my deadlines are not easily missed!

I believe gaming is a large part of my life…

My family love me for it, my friends envy me and my work colleagues know I am famous for it!

My reputation as a gamer girl has spread throughout the agency, I have even organised various tournaments in our studio on Friday afternoons (because we all know nothing brings a team closer together than a good game!)

I have always been a large fan of Blizzard; one of my favourite games is the Star Craft series. On numerous occasions I have found myself applying the strategic skills used in the Star Craft game play to cope with the immense pressures of my everyday life. My online rankings are my pride and joy, if I could wear them on a belt I would!

Weekends have been spent watching endless replays and streaming events that I could only ever dream of attending!

I have always grown a liking towards Real time strategy games, I have a huge appreciation for older games I used to play when I was growing up, but am always looking to find a game that is fresh and innovative. A good example of this would be Antichamber – it must be my love for problem solving that draws me to these kinds of games.

This even I plucked up the courage and decided to apply for a dream job at your studio, below a list of relevant key traits for the position:

A diploma in Television and film techniques

History of gaming experience  

Scheduling and management

Critical thinking and problem solving

Experience in a deadline driven environment

Organization and leadership

Creativity

Over all, gaming has helped boost my self-confidence; it has sparked a flame of curiosity and allowed me to make friends from all over the globe! Blizzard has proven that gaming is much more than a hobby, it is a lifestyle, it is a community, and it is such an honour to be a part of something so special!  

Please consider my application for the available position mentioned on your website.

Kind regards
