Sure we do, there are plenty of game designers here.

Originally by: Ptarmigent Edited by: Ptarmigent on 18/07/2009 22:08:26 Hey soundwave, thanks for responding.
I'm looking for information about what someone with a family can do about working in Iceland.
My wifes a Nurse and I've got a primary school aged daughter, would there be opportunities for them over there ?
If you can't respond here, is there someone I can email, send me an eve-mail if you don't want to post the information here.
I'd be guessing honestly, I can ask around on Monday though.

I'd say the same way you apply for any other job. Build a resume, lie about your experience and work history, create a generic cover letter stating that since the day you were born you wanted to work for a company that operates an MMO...wait six months to find out that there were 200 other applicants vying for the same two open spots with much better fake resumes....and all 200 of those people actually lived in the country of Iceland. Give up in despair.
You're pretty close, but in the case of CCP there are additional requirements. You must know at least 3 people in the company that can (and want to) recommend you, and you won't ever find out "that there are 200 other applicants vying for the same two open spots" because CCP doesn't respond to every application sent in, only to those they think are viable for a position at CCP. Hell, I know for a fact they don't even look at all the applications sent in.
There are no requirements to "know people in the company". If a person has a skillset we can use, he/she gets hired regardless if he/she knows ten people or none at all.

Thanks man, much appreciated.
Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you, I've been home in bed since Monday :(
I hope the link posted later in the thread helped you though.
