Week 6 Discussion Topic # 1
Once you have a resumé that gets noticed by employers, the next
step in securing the job that you want is to interview
successfully. The key to interviewing successfully is your
ability to respond appropriately and well to the questions asked
during the interview. Pick three questions from the following
list (Martucci Lamarre, 2006, p. 121) and tell us how you would
respond to them.

Why should I hire you?
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
Why are you applying for this position?
How are you qualified for this position?
Why are you interested in working for our firm?
What can you contribute to this company?
What are your short-term goals?
What are your long-term goals?

In the game design career field there are SOO many
specializations. You have Programmers, UI, Story, Multiplayer,
Level Design, Engineers, Lighting, and a whole other range of
skills needed to truly excel. For my job for example my
specialization is Multiplayer Design when where is balance and
create second to second combat scenarios which keep people
playing the game. However if I wish to advance I need to show
that I understand and do storyboarding, character development,
level design.

I agree with his assessment. People tend to forget that with
highly competitive career fields being able to intern even
without pay is a huge step toward advancing your career. In
order to get your foot in the door might have to do some time
without pay in order to gain the experience required.
