So, today I got a job offer from Elec­tronic Arts!

I’m pretty excited, work­ing at EA is some­thing that I’ve always wanted to do since, well, I can remem­ber really. I’m going to be work­ing for the EA Sports­word team, and which devel­ops the EA Sports­world web­site.

I’m guess­ing you’re all won­der­ing how I got the job. Well it was pretty sim­ple actu­ally, I just applied through my schools (SFU) Coop pro­gram and made a redicu­lously decked out cover let­ter and resume in hopes for an inter­view. I ended up get­ting a phone inter­view, and then they offered me a tech­ni­cal inter­view, which I accepted obvi­ously. I’ve heard that they really grill you at there tech­ni­cal inter­views, so I spent a good cou­ple of days study­ing, which I think worked out well for me. I would talk about what was on the inter­view, but I had to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agree­ment), so I’m not really sure what I’m legally allowed to talk about, but lets just say, it was very difficult!

So, this morn­ing I got the call from coop let­ting me know that they wanted to offer me the job!!! I can’t wait, I’m really look­ing for­ward to all the perks as well, like the free gym, soc­cer field, roller hockey floor, volly­ball court (with sand!), and a ton of other stuff. I also get games for $10 bucks a pop =D.

I’ll be work­ing there from May 5th to August 22nd, so I’ll prob­a­bly be blog­ging about it while I’m there (but not giv­ing away any infor­ma­tion that would get me fired =P).

Hope­fully I’ll be able to give some peo­ple some tours, bet­ter call dibs
