Looking for a potential career in the gaming industry, or want to work for CCP? Are you interested in what really goes on in the office, or curious what happened to Oveur's 'friend', head on over to take a look at the new Job Offer/Dev Blog, read through it carefully and if you meet the requirements, send Helgi an e-mail.
I know we set the bar high in regards to the job requirements, but we want the best of the best working for CCP. I also know there are going to be a lot of questions, so start asking them here, I'll do my best to answer them.

We need to bring the GM Interns in ASAP, NA and Aussie applicants have a minimum 60 day processing period for their work visas. If you meet the other requirements, go ahead and submit your information, but be forewarned that your application will be further down on the list of potential acceptees.

Nice! But the 3 years subcription is a bit hard. I've met players with 1 year that know more than one with 3. But still a very good offer.

Feel free to tell me to stfu kieron, but what prevents someone from the US or other non-EU locations from answering petitions from their current location until that 60-day period passes?
Not that it matters, since I'm barely a year old.

Due to security concerns CCP does not want the GM client or interface out of the office. Too much potential damage could be done with either to let both of them go off-site.

My main question would be what kind of pay to expect if we get through the internship.
Much as I'd love to apply for an internship, I would have some major uprooting to do to accomplish it.

It's an internship - i'd imagine it would be most suitable for students and the like taking a or considering taking a gap year. Not for people who already have careers.
Whilst $600 isn't very much (i'm sure it goes even less in Iceland than it would go in the UK...) i'm sure the whole experience of living in Iceland, experiencing a different culture whilst expanding your CV would be worthwhile for a great deal of people. :)

More answers to questions in the thread.
Originally by: MOOstradamus Q: If this position is only open to EU member states then why quote the salary/living expense allowance in Dollars and not more appropriately in Euros or ISK?
Dollars are what was given to me for the announcement and I believe what the Acounting staff is going to use for pay purposes. Subject to exchange rate fluctuations, that amounts to ~470Ç or ~42.2k ISK per month.
Originally by: Nefera Sen Maybe a stupid question but would the apartments have internet access?
Originally by: Apertotes i would like to know if it is required to live on an apartment with other 2 interns. i mean, nothing against those 2 persons, just that i would like to know if we are free to live elsewhere if we carry with the expenses.
Yes, there will be internet access in the apartment and if you have friends to live with in Iceland (or other living arrangements), you are not required to live in an intern apartment.
Originally by: Eewec Ourbyni Out of curiosity whats the hours on that (start/finish) in the day or is it shift work?
Shift work, but I believe the new GMs start out working days or evenings until they are trained.

Then you might want to think about rephrasing it "Must already have the right to work in the EU". Because I don't "live in the European Union" - I live in Australia, but I was born in London and have a full British passport etc.
Although I'm probably a bit old for this job :(

A few months ago I would have jumped at this :o
Though I didn't sign up for an account until 16 months after the beta, which means only two (2) years of ingame time.
How often do these internships come up? If there was abit more warning (to allow us people on the other side of the world to obtain a visa) we might even be in with a chance.
Depends on the country and the government of course, but sometimes visa's can be fast tracked, at a cost.

Heh I think Hendo001 really want's to apply.
I would too were it not for the fact that I have no experience at GMing, have no right to work in EU and have a little too much mortgage to go galavanting across the ocean to Iceland. Not to mention the rather spectacular pay-cut :)
Working with what seems to be the only dev-team in the MMO marketplace that actually gives a **** would certainly be sweet but would you really want to play EVE for a job? EVE is fun because I can come home from dealing with a bunch of people I have to work with and deal with a bunch of people like working with. If it was my job then the choice would be gone.
Think of this too. The successful candidate would also have to listen to people whining EIGHT HOURS A DAY. "WAAAH I lost my ship to PIRATES"..."WAAAH The market is SOOOO mean to me"...."WAAAH I rebo^H^H^H^Hcrashed and now my dread is gone!!"
Can you honestly say you want to deal with that?

I'd seriously love to lay some major smackdown on the ISK Farmers/ISK Sellers/ISK Buyers/eBayers and other various evildoers of EVE with a shiney GM account, but it just seems a little silly to move to Iceland when all of the work is done over the internet, nothing against Iceland, but I just make too much here to warrant moving so far away from home (Miami, Florida).
Though the 5,000 word essay on why I think I would be a good GM sound's like it would be fun to write... seriously :)
Oh well, I guess I'll just keep the GM's busy with my constant petitions about farmers, ISK sellers, ISK buyers, and eBayers.

Sounds really interesting, and I would love to apply... Only, I have just been playing actively for about a year... But I wonder what I could possibly learn about the game in the coming two years that I have not yet learned, that would be so incredibly important...
Oh well, maybe it's just a way for them to separate the longtime players from the borderline fanatic... Or better yet, <hat type="tinfoil">it's a way for them to reduce the amount of non-BoB applications</hat>.

I have a question: Do other advantages (such as being able to support the customers on more than just English) is important enough to weive the requirement of 3 year experience?
Also, why is it set to 3 year? does that mean in 2 years, requirements would be having 5 years ingame? I may be wrong, but I think this may rule out many fine people, who have 1-2 years of experience, and know the game just as well. In addition to doing injustice to these who werent lucky enough to start with the game after the beta  ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE

I don't think they just need people who know about EVE, but people who are also comitted to EVE. It's no good if you have a GM that loses interest in the game in the next 6 months. Someone who only played a year might be the best expert of the game, but you can't be sure how long he will still be playing.
People who have played for 3 years already are more sure to stay even longer, for obvious reasons, and this commitment is what they might seek aside from actual game knowledge.

Well, I have 'only' been playing Eve for around two years, but have been working in an IT customer support job with an automated system that (from my in game view of the client side) appears similar to that used by CCP.
Im just wondering, if the intern was kept on, how much would the position pay?
Is it actually competative with similar jobs in the IT industry or is CCP hoping to sucker in some low-paid fan-boys?
Im only asking because support jobs can be soul destroying and unless you can provide unlimited beer, boobies,titan sized cigars and massages from oveur while wearing 'that' wig your staff retention rate may be a bit low  ________________ What you do is you store up the rage, let it fester while you gain strength, then use it to gank those weaker than you... and so the circle of life is complete |

If I can talk my wife into moving to Iceland, does the pay cover for living in there? 600$ sounds pretty lousy to me especially with dollar going down, but maybe Iceland is a cheap place?

Well i would be very intrested in applying to the job, I think i meet all the requirements for the job however i wont leave my safe live for that amounth of money.
It sounds like an adventure and a dream come true but the money is not conform standards in anyway.
Even tough you would add the ( shared ) living and food .
Live in iceland is very expensive from what i have heard

- moving to Iceland (k, is a nice country) - living with 2 other ppl that i dont know (you can have luck r not..) - hearing 8h whinning a day (that cost nerves)
and that for 600$??
dear CCP plz make an serious offer... 600$ is nothing for work as support and that with the 3year old acc. limit is a joke, isn't it? it will be hard (or immposible) to find a good GM who is playing 3 year EVE and want to do that for that crapy loan...

yeah the pay might be a bit crap but the 3 year account thing stops me applying make a year plzzzzzzzzz
then I can apply, I'd love to be a gm and I've spent most of my working life in customer service, yeah it can be crap but there are nice ppl out there I believe.
Although u'd think that most ppl are bad or annoying or whatever, usually its just frustration.

No it does not stop you, it makes your chances smaller, and so does your continuous whining about it on the forums.
Make an application, explain carefully why you don't need 3 years of EVE experience, this might be because you have prior experience with customer support, but you might find other reasons you want to explain too.
There is relly nothing to loose in this case

CCP pays for your apartment, some meals etc and iirc you may get offered a full-time position after a while with a significant increased pay (and living standard?).
So the $600 is just for some food and entertaiment while you are working for the intern program.

When you were living away from home at college, university, etc. how much were you typically spending on food a week?
Im just trying to get an impression of how expensive it might be to live in Reykjavfk, whether the stipend would cover living costs. Is it going to be ramen all but two nights a week, or if you can live modestly but comfortably on the stipend.

Thing you guys are forgetting is that the $600 "salary" isnt the salary at all. To get your actual salary you would have to factor in the cost of accomodation and meals that CCP are providing for you as well. The $600 is for "living expenses" (beer & pizza). __________________________________

You have to remember that this isnt a job, its an internship, work experience, an industrial placement or whatever you want to call it. You get fed and watered in return for an opportunity to get some experience and a potential foot in the door with CCP for a real contract later on.

For the people who are shocked to see the salary, keep in mind that you dont need to pay for rent or for much food. ( the lunches are really filling and healty) Just be careful of utsala (sale) in stores when you walk around Reykjavik and you¦ll be fine. Although I did buy some nice boots here.
As I understand it the GM¦s share an appartment but everyone has their own room(ofcourse) and it¦s actually nice to come home and have some people around to talk to and watch tv together when you move to a new country. The current GM¦s do work shifts and sometimes one comes in when the other goes to work, honestly you shouldn¦t worry too much about annoying roommates.
Best advice I can give you is: BRING WARM CLOTHES

That pay offer is truly dreadful. You would have to be very dedicated to EVE, or at a real dead end where you are now to even consider it. Personally I couldn't look someone in the eye if I was paying them that much for a full time job.
I suppose in this industry there are queues of fanboys ready to be exploited.

Hehe that puts a nice spin on it.
Interns in any industry will typically have second jobs. Judging by the number of bars and restaurants around CCP's offices I would say that the opportunities are boundless - for work as well as more free booze and food.
When we interview for interns, if the guy starts the process with "how am I supposed to live on $600 a month?", he's already lost the game... Use it as an opportunity to network, learn some cool stuff, experience a foreign culture and meet some like-minded people. Get a second job FFS!
Edit: A internship is not supposed to pay off your mortgage and buy you a car. It's an opportunity to learn the trade from the masters. -*-*-*-*-

the ppl complaining about the pay should read again and realize it's an internship... i did my intership in uni for 250 euro's a month for a 45 hour workweek...
i imagine the pay after you become a full gm is a lot higher, but it prolly would still not live up to your expectations. i think it is safe to say it is aimed at students and young ppl in general

You're in europe lad... equal opportunity doesn't apply... certainly not for an internship and a job where maturity can easily be demoinstrated to be required... and hence be part of acceptable job requirements... it happens in all industry.

It's a three or four month internship, it's not a career unless you are successful. That hardly counts as immigration. It only becomes a 'job' when/if the intern is successful, at which point I'm sure CCP will offer you more than $600/month to stay.
And yes, in the real world interns always have second and/or third jobs unless they're partly supported by their parents or a trust fund. Let the offer be your guide:
20 years old + 3 years playing Eve + command of the English language + four month internship + free board and lodging + low pay = someone looking to embark on a career path.
I can understand that people would want more money - it's human nature. But take this opportunity for what it is - I'm willing to bet that the applicants will get more out of the four months than CCP will. -*-*-*-*-

It would be interesting to know what a fully paid up GM could be expected to earn, if I was running an internet based company, I'd have everyone teleworking, and the money saved on office space spent on giving them wages at least double the min. wage.

You can ofcourse still apply and take into account that you may not be the perfect candidate on paper but you are still pretty close 
If you dont apply the answer will always be no, so just give it a go.

Please keep in mind that this is indeed an internship, the majority of your room and board are taken care of by CCP. The monthly stipend is to assist with personal living expenses, not, as someone posted, pay for a car or mortgage.
After the internship period has been finished, each intern will be evaluated for permanent employment. If an intern is given a job offer, the offer will include a salary based upon the intern's performance, previous experience and other evaluation criterion. This salary is competitive with the MMOG industry standard.
As I stated in the blog itself, the 3 year subscription requirement can be waived in certain circumstances. Previous GM or customer support experience, especially in a call center, will be taken into account when CVs are reviewed. If you are short a couple months, or played since beta (even if your original account lapsed), by all means, submit your information.
We have plans for future internship offers, not only on the GM team, but QA and content as well.

Originally by: Garia666 it sounds a very intresting aplication, and a dream come true. However for me to leave my job for 600$ is actualy an insult.
you cannot live from 600$ at all or is this an icelandic currency who is much more worth in euro`s?
I hear that.
I have expenses that exceed that by x3, then you can add on my LIVING expenses.
While it may appeal to some getting out of school, this isn't appealing to the older adults (you know the ones, with all the experience, patience and maturity...ok, experience then ☺)
If eve was out about 25 years ago this offer would have been perfect for me.

Originally by: Nanos So, slave wages, half of UK min. national wage, and a I can't believe it, for an internet based company, no teleworking oppertunity...
It would be interesting to know what a fully paid up GM could be expected to earn, if I was running an internet based company, I'd have everyone teleworking, and the money saved on office space spent on giving them wages at least double the min. wage.
Dunno about Europe, but in the US internships, even engineering ones aren't usually paid all that well. Of course, many internships are for University credit, many are unpaid, and even the ones that are paid, in general the pay isn't all that great. In engineering programs, a co-op program (essentially a full year internship, generally for a 3rd year student) is a common requirement. It isn't at my university, but its strongly recommended.
I imagine working at CCP would be great judging from the attitude of the developers and other personnel we've seen on the forums and on EVETV. I'd apply, but I don't think anything CCP does would be that well suited to an ECE student.  --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson |

What about non-GM internships? I'd really love to work for CCP in some other intern capacity.
I currently live in Redmond, WA, this summer I've been an intern for Nintendo, doing software/hardware engineering for them. I'm a junior at Digipen Institute of Technology, studying computer engineering. An internship at CCP would be an amazing experience, and I meet all your requirements except I don't live in the EU :)
So what about other internships?

Live in the EU... yes 20 years or older... lol yes Speak, read and write fluent English... that's a matter of opinion ;) Willing to relocate to Iceland and co-habitate with 2 other interns... mkay Must not have any detrimental marks on your game account(s) or major warnings on your forum history... I suppose being hit with the "sig is too large" stick is ok? Eve subscription for 3 years... no Previous GM experience on a different title can waive some of the EVE experience time... score :D Customer service experience... yes, but I don't want to talk about it.
I'd actually do the CCP thing if my wife, cats and bank manager would let me take the pay cut and relocate, or if I was still young enough not to have a wife and cats or a bank that owned my pay packet 
I'm not complaining, I know what an internship is about. I guess a lot of people don't have good enough English to know what "Intern" means. Think along the lines of apprentice, recruit, coffee maker, noob scout, person who gets all the interesting, educational, character-building jobs... the ones that nobody else wants ;)
And character-building is NOT the same as char creation!
Coincidentally, I was talking today to a friend who's trying to get paid work in a law firm before she starts the next stage of her training next year. Not easy.
Good luck to whoever gets the positions - customer service is a test of character, to say the least.

Due to security concerns CCP does not want the GM client or interface out of the office. Too much potential damage could be done with either to let both of them go off-site.
Sounds like they need an office in the US then... 
My thoughts exactly.

I lived in Germany for a year (I'm from the US) when I was in college - room and board paid for by the university;. I spent less than $600/month, and that included traveling around.
This is an opportunity to 'pause your life' for 3-6 months - got a place to crash, with your own bedroom, money to feed yourself and buy beer. All you gotta do is answer petitions for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and you can spend the rest of the time at the bar picking up hot icelandic chicks who think it's sexy that you know english.

Seems interesting, but i was wondering about the potential job opportunities later on down the line, would these be broader then GM line work. ?. I have been thinking about dropping my CV to a few game companies, but more in the direction of game and or content design, which is more along my lines of study and interest. Iceland is only 2 hours flight from here though, and i have been playing since beta.
Btw, what kind of timeframe are we looking at since it is going to take me about 6-7 more weeks to finish of my thesis and get my Msc.

As there no standard wage for these things.. failure to mention salary when asked always makes me not want to waste my time with a company.

Q2 - Can I be considered for an inters if I'm from a non EU country A2 - No. Only EU based citizens can be considered (Shorter time to organize working Visa's)
Q3 û I donÆt have enough playing time on my Eve Online account, can I still apply? A3 û Yes, long as you have relevant experience in the Customer Support industry, or wither you have been a GM for an MMORPG game in the past.
Q4 - $600 for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? That rubbish! A4 û This is an Intern placement not a full paid job. You are employed to learn hence why you will not be paid a full salary. The apartment, travel, and some food costs will be covered by CCP, so you donÆt have to worry about rent and so on.
Hope this helps a few people.

Partly correct. There is the exception of Norway and Iceland that have signed the EES contract and have signed treaties with Sweden, Denmark and Finland (ie all nordic countries) about free travels for its citizens across the borders. It has been in effect a long time now and should mean that Norwegians could apply for the intern positions as well as EU citizens.
If you live in any of those countries, a valid ID card is enough to travel freely and gain benefits from the countries public service you reside and work in. There is also regulations concerning tax and retirement funds between all those countries.
You can read more about it on Nordisk eTax homepage if you're interested.

Yes thanks, this is a great help. My particular circumstances mean I am unable to afford a flight (unemplyed for several months) so do you know if CCP actually pay for then send you the tickets or is it a "Get it yourself, we will reimburse you" thing. Im sure this is something that could be discussed person to person and if there isnt an answer no bother, im just curious. __________________________________

Edited by: Ironstorm on 30/08/2006 20:50:16 well, for everyone who not got an wife or any commitments. who is young and already got enough from is native country this is indeed a dream, folks!
for all those guys who have no clue what an "internship" means, apart from the fact that you already out of interest, because your english knowledge is simpel to lousy. intership means you practice and learn your work, each day. during the period which is written as 3 to 6 month. after that you might get an employeecontract, depends how good or worse you are and your income will or should increase. how much is a question ? which is important for my opinion. not really if the appartment got an internet connection, that is more or less really secondary. an other important question would be is the "might be" after internship employeecontract an open-end contract or an fixed-term contract ?
apart of this few important questions it¦s always an question if you can live with the people, with whom you will spend all your worktime.
just an proposal, use plz your brain before you start writting into an thread, which is really an interesting option for everyone who wanna do something complete new !
an good move into this directon would be for example that you try to get to the eve-fanfest and talk directly to the people, who ever really wants this internship, should first of all see if he likes the country, talk to the people for more details and than you can decide.

Some things that would be interesting to know.... I have sent an application, and I hope they like what they got. but I would like to know some things.
Helgimar, can you or one of the ISD/GM's answer this question: How many people that fill the requirements have actually sent in applications?
I have been thinking and I cant think of a singel person that I have played with for 3 years that has the ability to just drop everything and leave, I mean myself I have to quit my current job to accept the posititon as GM... IF I get applied, and add to that maybe a few days to get rid of my apartment (shouldnt be to hard in an attractive town, already have offers for renting it out 2nd hand).
Even so, I would indeed love to come to Island and work with CCP.

Q4 - $600 for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? That rubbish! A4 û This is an Intern placement not a full paid job. You are employed to learn hence why you will not be paid a full salary. The apartment, travel, and some food costs will be covered by CCP, so you donÆt have to worry about rent and so on.
Hope this helps a few people.
So do I. 
Well, IÆm no alt. What I can tell you though is that I like to take in as much information as possible, so to provide an accurate answer when replying to questions. Also, to provide a good and stable answer means that the people taking note of the answers provided, will understand you (no need to re-ask the question).
All around, to answer the questions in full, provides a greater sense of customer service, making the customer happy and also your boss *wink*. Emm?"Cant touch this" den der der dum, der dum der dum KILLING THE BUG'S, BEFORE THEY KILL YOU |

can I remote desktop into the office in iceland please? Make it so I cant steal the software, but still use it? I'd be more than happy to answer petitions and such. I was a "guide" in everquest for some time (very very limited GM abilitys)
If you tell me there is a chance I can work from NA, I'd gladly take you up on it. Heck I'd voulenteer my time to help make the game better. I love EVE and up until the 5 bookmark limit thing I loved CCP. I still do, just waiting for the final resoultion and hopeing it comes sooner than later.
Good luck guys, hope you find lots of helpful hands to aid around the office =)

With the amount of interest in this opportunity, I would expect a reply any time soon. Although on the other hand, if you are right for the Intern then maybe, just maybe, they might grab you up real quick.
On the note of the 5000 word essay, you might be lucky, and Helgi thinks your good, or on the other hand, he thinks ôI canÆt be asked to read thisö, then youÆve just wasted your time. ItÆs down to your own personal opinion on wither you think it would help or not.

I'm sorry, this is the worst job offer I've ever seen.
$600 a month? Even with provided apartment that's a ridiculously small amount of compensation. I made more than double that as a freaking TA (which, by all accounts, is the next thing up from slave labour). I've been to Iceland, cost of living there is not that low to justify this. Especially considering the relocation requirement.
You want "the best" (no, I don't qualify, I've just had a decent job before) you really oughta be prepared to offer decent incentive. The best can go anywhere, why in the world would they pick this?

well considering that on a normal apprentice pay, you can barely afford a small room and food, and here you actually get food, a good apartment (though shared), and you get more than enough cash to pay for another apartment if you wished so?
i fail to see the lousy offer.. it's not a job.. it's a sort of apprentice thing. It can lead to a real job in 3-6 months if you are good.
And you get to work in the industry you love.
All i see is a good offer... 
yes ccp require you to relocate.. but they have always done that.. nothing new there. It's their policy.
Personally i am more than willing to relocate to work with something i like. But then again, i'm not tied down by family and gf currently... EvE-CCG Spoiler Database |

Man, this sounds like it could be a very cool experience. Not that I'd be that interested as getting a career as a GM, I'm a lot more interested in software engineering and that kind of stuff... but still this sounds wicked for what it is, moving to iceland for a while and whatnot. I'd be totally in on it and I (almost) fulfill all the necessary requirements, but I'm in my last year of high school atm. Totally would've jumped on it otherwise.

I guess I just felt like ranting about something...
In response to this statement, I see your worry; in fact I see everyoneÆs worry. What you have to think of though, is that I doubt you will ever be given the chance up front, unless you have great skills, and or, a long background of Game Master experience. Until today, I myself wasnÆt sure on what $600 would equal to in Pounds Sterling, as I would have commitments that have to be paid for. YouÆre correct, it isnÆt much, but you have to look at this in the long term not short term. I worked as an apprentice computer technician for 2 years, only receiving on average to be about $495 a month. It was worth it. I got my job with the company I was working for.
This is something many people have to think about, no stability for the long term. The only thing I can say to you, that is one of my own opinions, ôRisk vs Rewardö. The risk you take is nothing compared to the reward you would get if you were lucky enough to be offered a full time job.
LetÆs break it down; Risks: 1: I leave my job for something that could only last 3-6 months. 2: I leave my home, possibly family, for something that could only last 3-6 months. 3: IÆm on a low income, not enough to save on, and I may have to come back home with nothing. It takes me 1 month, maybe more to find another job, how will I live?
There the risks now look at the rewards. Rewards: 1: I get a change of environment, nice peaceful place where I can enjoy myself. 2: I will be working with some of the greatest people alive today. Not only are they the best at what they do, they have pride in what they do, which make it even more worth it. 3: You meet new people, make new friends. 4: You share a flat with 2 other people in the same position as you. Helping each other through there time spent at CCP, hoping to get something great at the end. 5: Nights outà Not only are the CCP employees great for there work. Throughout the community of Eve Online, they are known for there famous drinking habits. You will be able to join them for a few. 6: You get to work on Eve Online, wither it be as a Game Master or another part of the game. This itself is worth it alone.
So as you can see by just some examples off the top of my head, this is an opportunity that should not be missed.
Once again I hope this helps a few people realize what there either, missing out on, or getting themselves into.

I don't see why people are complaining. CCP's not going to suddenly up the pay when they seem to have plenty of people who want the job more than extra spending money.
Something like this isn't for everyone. If I only got $600 a month, that'd go almost entirely to pay my monthly bill for my student loans. I'd still do it.
However I'm not in the EU, I've only played for a year, and writing a 5000 word essay would be painful, despite the fact I did a 25-page paper (which was alittle over 6k words) in my writing intensive course.

It'd be funny if they actually were just picking names out of a hat ^^;. But yeah, they're probably after the best people for the job. I've lost track of the number of companies that won't even acknowledge my emails when I send them my CV, didn't really expect to add Eve to the list.
Ah well, good luck to anyone who's applying. I'll go mail my cv to every company I can find and see if I can get a job .

breaking trust has real consequences in the real world, not in eve. Im entrusted to provide accurate valuations for hundreds of millions of savings for many people, my company administers. If I break that trust through imcompetence, I lose my job and my income (when they realise Im crap). If I try to steal all the money from those various funds, I become an outlaw (eventually when the auditors would see the missing cash) and then my own freedoms are curbed forever more.
These consequences are very real, if i steal 700 billion isk from people in eve, the worst i would have to look forward to is the odd war dec (oh noes) so here are very few reasons why i shouldnt :)
the 'qualities' we show ingame are not a reflection on real life, people behave very differently in the two realms. So to judge someone on how they are ingame is no measure of how they are outside.

How you act in game should in no way reflect how you are as a person. I would never dreams of waiting on the inside of say the local cinema with a group of friends, waiting for someone with a full wallet then jumping him and running off. I would do that in a heartbeat in eve :) __________________________________

HEY KIERON ~ (others too),
With so many people in the NA time zones it would seem wise to have some GM/Interns in NA. Other the other side of the coin, it will allow for a different point of view to be added to the mix as well for future admonitions to the life style (EvE is not just a game - we live and breath it - even when not in front of a system (hence writing from work)).
CV to be submitted this weekend - wife thinks I am nuts, the podlings are all for it. Over 8 years with Fortune 500 companies from end-users to CEO's they all were 'taken care of' Really though - this has nothing against EU or anyone else for that matter - I am just thinking that another group should be aloud into the fold.

Hello Guys,
I applied for an internship position a few months back, I got the job and Im currently sitting in the office enjoying myself. So far my experiences have been nothing but good and although I miss people back 'home' there are more than enough crazy/nice people here. The jobs good, the food is good (although im one of these picky ppl who dont like cheese etc ) and the internship pay will generally see you get by quite well as long as you dont eat out too often and cut back on the beer.
As for my qualifications, some of you might remember me from STAR I spent over 3years with STAR and 3 years as a player (not including playing in the beta).
If you have a good sense of humour, your hard working and you have a few years in eve then you will enjoy it here and you will get to see what eves like behind the scenes.
But Apply...I need people to pick on

I applied for an internship position a few months back, I got the job and Im currently sitting in the office enjoying myself. So far my experiences have been nothing but good and although I miss people back 'home' there are more than enough crazy/nice people here. The jobs good, the food is good (although im one of these picky ppl who dont like cheese etc ) and the internship pay will generally see you get by quite well as long as you dont eat out too often and cut back on the beer.
As for my qualifications, some of you might remember me from STAR I spent over 3years with STAR and 3 years as a player (not including playing in the beta).
If you have a good sense of humour, your hard working and you have a few years in eve then you will enjoy it here and you will get to see what eves like behind the scenes.
But Apply...I need people to pick on 
Hi there Faolchu,
IÆm glad to see some of the ISD bunch get a chance at ôstardomö, IÆm also glad to see that youÆre coping well.
If you read this post anytime soon, I was just wondering what it is like out there to live. I know the people are amazing and the job is great, but what I would like to know is, what is it really like to live out there? For example, weather, food, language barriers and that kind of thing.
I mean, this is a once in a life time chance and anyone silly enough to pass this up (if they meet the requirements) would be making a very big mistake, but thatÆs just my view.
I was just hoping these could be answered, by anyone really who lives in Iceland.
Thanks again.

In addition to those questions I would like to ask about the transport arrangements for interns. Is it required for them to hold a full driving license or is there adequate public transport for general getting to/from work/pub, or is there hidden option 3 (CCP buses? Walking distance to accomodation?). __________________________________

Hi,
At the moment the weather is fine bit windy and slightly chilly at the times but I hear it gets worse in the winter with an avg temp of about 0. The food is good but expensive if you eat out, if you buy and cook yourself you'll be fine...or you can eat at CCP and save your pennies. The language barrier well there isnt one really...people will talk to you in icelandic and if you dont understand they'll switch to english and you'll find everyone talks good english. But there are icelandic language courses starting soon .
As for travel arrangements its really easy to get about although a little confusing at times, I live about a 20 minute walk from the CCP offices and there are plenty of buses about. And its definantly not required for interns to hold driving licenses...I cant drive and Im here .
But on the whole theres nothing to really worry about when it comes to living over here...well I havent come across anything just yet. So apply and see what happens .

Looking at the price of beer and fuel in Iceland, you'd be lucky if you could afford enough gas to drive to the shop on the corner and pick up enough to get wasted from the money offered... Truth be told, the internship provides basic living costs, not salary. Rent is free, food is free, they give you some petty cash for spending etc. pretty good all in. I imagine the salary if you are hired following internship would be better?

Originally by: Malthros Zenobia What prevents someone from the US or other non-EU locations from answering petitions from their current location until that 60-day period passes?
Due to security concerns CCP does not want the GM client or interface out of the office. Too much potential damage could be done with either to let both of them go off-site.
I'm just coming to the end of my work here in Holland, relocating to Iceland isnt really an option, but atm i work for a major PC makers, we have people working from every corner of the earth, and at home, surely you can sort that out no ? I also GM'd another big game and we had the client mailed to us at every release, i know you have to trust, but it counts for a lot at the end of the day. guess i'm saying gimme a job, but hell you can't seriously ask me to leave Amsterdam can you ?

Nice to see so many interested people. I can personally say that CCP is like a resturant all day long. Free food, all you can eat! Plus of course the yoghurts which fed the EVE TV team for so long.
Shifts are 8 to 9 hours (9 hours being nightshifts). Interns get all kinds of shifts, and if you are lucky enough to land on a nightshift I will be there to whoop your ass at foozball during the breaks.

Well I'm very glad CCP allow you to respond to these threds. The midnight shift... Ah the good old days. I used to do those shifts while working in a supermarket, I enjoyed them very much.
Foozball you say! Looks like I'll have to travel over there even if I am unsuccessful just to show off my skills.
Thanks for replying though, It's good to hear real feedback.

I just checked my email and saw a message in the account I used to submit my application, my heart skipped a beat as I wondered if it was news and I was actually filled with terrible disapointment when I saw rather then it being from CCP it was from the national lottery informing me that I had won. The point that I had won some cash had no impact on the bitter disapointment .
I then got a virtual kick in the nuts as I had won only ú10 .

When there are petitions to be answered they take all priority (and boy, we have more than enough...). We also write most of the knowledge base articles along with a handful of other things. Occasionally a dev will come to us regarding a question on some esoteric piece of gameplay (GMs, along with QA have probably the most contact with customers and most game time). But with the petition queues being like they are we are almost only answering them at the moment.
For those interested in what the pay is like if you are hired full time, I can't give specific numbers but I can give you an example.
With the pay I get I manage to keep head above water month to month. I have a wife that only works part time and an 18 month old daughter. On top of that I have bank loans to pay off. Someone settling in with a better deck of cards than I have would have it reasonably good.

Not that I could apply, missing entire subscription and I'd like to finish high school/uni first. Good luck to those who do, though.
[Edit:]
Quote: Partly correct. There is the exception of Norway and Iceland that has signed the EES treaty and has signed treaties with Sweden, Denmark and Finland (ie all nordic countries) about free travels for its citizens across the borders. It has been in effect a long time now and should mean that Norwegians could apply for the intern positions as well as EU citizens.

Thing is if people have heard back they will be sworn to secrecy, since people arent allowed to know a dev's actual main account name. We need to wait on word from CCP. __________________________________

I guess tho I'll send in my application anyway... would not mind working there, since I'm also eager to learn how to do 3D modelling nicely, which I could possibly bother the content development team with during my off time (5 minutes I spend going to fetch coffee and coming back, every 5 minutes or so...) :D

Probably too late but i have just sent my application.
I only have an active EVE subscription for almost a year, but i've known about EVE before the Beta started, wich i have played. Have 2+ years working experience in customer support (e-mail and phone)
I have been jaded about the possibilities of EVE, ever since i have read a Dev interview where someone stated EVE would be based heavilly on the old hit ELITE :)
I live in the European Union (Portugal), and ready to move anywhere in the EU, i actually think CCP needs somene with a real natural tan around :)
I am 29 years old.
I speak, read and write fluent English.
Willing to relocate to Iceland and co-habitate with 2 other interns
I do not have any detrimental marks on my game account(s) or any kind of warnings on my forum history.
Hope to get picked as this would be a fantastic time in my life to change the scenery. already thinking about packing... Ready to go to Iceland tomorrow. |

yeah mailed it in a bit ago too,
I do meet all the requirements, been playing since beta, so would be cool. Have been living in a student flat with 9 mates for the past 6 years so down scaling to 3 should be nice.
Now just hope ccp think the same :)..
Good luck all anywayz.

Dunno about iceland , but here in holland it's actually required to respond to an application, even it is just to say you didn't get it. Usually they put in some reasoning as well. Is supposed to help when you go for your next application interview.

Which doesnt stop 80% of the companies to refuse doing it anyway.
Besides, the ccpgames.com website clearly states that only successfull applicants get a reply:
Quote: Your application will be treated confidentially. We would like to thank all applicants who apply, however, only those selected will be contacted. CCP is an equal opportunity employer.
Although this internship isnt in the list i got that quote from, so maybe you will get a reply either case. Time will tell.

I dont think a reply is strictly vital to all the emails, however a GM poking his head into this thread saying "All positions full" would be nice, it seems a few people are putting their lives on hold waiting to hear back about this. __________________________________

Putting one's life on hold about a *chance* at employment is rather silly.
You should rather be in a position where you could drop everything you had planned for a change of plans, as would be the case where CCP might only let those accepted have any clue as to what's going on.

if u dont have a clue after 3+ years i feel sry for u ;)
but still. the question is valid i think. would be good to know about progress. after all some of us are unemployed atm and ppl are onto me to start working for them. that means i have to buy a car = not going to iceland. so atm i am trying to avoid answering them  ==================

I'm sure there'll be some sort of notice, either a devblog mentioning the new GMs (like that one froma few months ago), or some goldbar post mentioning they have filled all the slots.
I'm more interested in when they'll do some pre-emptive hiring so that those of us outside the EU can apply. I also still wonder what they mean by the detrimental marks. forum warnings? GM warnings? Both? Altho they're probably something that, if you have them, you know you're not going to get looked at for employment.
/me is still curious about those #s for GMs this time last year, and GMs now.
Sorry you can't afford a dev so you get me instead ^^ - Xorus I hear Xorus is only 50 isk an hour - Immy Oooh that could get Suvetar for the day! - Cathath |

I'll check with Helgi and see what the status is. In the interim, I am removing the sticky from this thread and putting a new one up in a few moments.

I just heard back from Helgi, he will be contacting applicants with a status update over the next few days.
Please keep in mind if you do receive an interview invitation or job offer, it would be in your best interest to remain discrete. I think it would be a shame to see someone disqualified because they announced an invitation or offer on the forums, in-game chat channels or eve-mail.
The GM internships will be filled from this batch of applicants, the positions are no longer open. More internships will be open in the future. The Dev blog will be edited to reflect this.

Kieron could you please get Helgi to update this post with "Applicant letters sent" or something, just so we know that if we havent got a email yet we aint in luck. I dont wanna have to wait 2 weeks till the new GMs are hired and settling in before I realise Ive been holding out for something thats already gone. __________________________________
