Coop at Electronic Arts
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
