Getting Into The Game Industry

We’ve got a new presentation up on the Interzone website that talks about some of the roles and responsibilities that you might like to take up in the Game Industry. We will be adding to it and filling out more details on paths that you might like to take to get there along with other positions you might not immediately associate with a gameco but I figure that if you know the destination you have in mind, the journey can be much simpler. In general, you need way too much education, the ability to perform under pressure, iterate quickly and work fast while staying at the top of your profession. Link.

Looking for a new Assistant

My current assistant has just become an Associate Producer on our game, so I need a new super-capable problem-solver! A job ad is up on the Interzone Jobs page, so email jobs@iz if you think you’re ideal. A short list of requirements:

• Passionate about computer games.
• Capable of general office admin (you’ll be working with the Office Manager).
• Excellent Word/Excel/Powerpoint & very ‘net literate.
• Media-savvy (worked in media somewhere or have a relevant degree).
• Capable of running at a million miles an hour while juggling two dozen meeting requests and assisting with executive business reports and proposals.
• It helps if you don’t need to sleep much…

Nothing to it, really!
