    And I need all the help I can get. First off...The job--What am I applying for? Take a look :D

    http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/csr.html

    Customer Service Representative (Tustin, CA)


    Requirements:
    • Excellent customer service, typing, spelling, and communication skills
    • Must have a passion for games
    • Previous experience as a GM for an existing MMORPG a big plus, but not required
    That is sooo me :D

    I was gonna apply for the Administrative Assistant position
    [http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/it-administrative-assistant.html] but they require a minimum of three years experience and I only have a year and a half being an administrative assistant to the CFO of a flooring installation company.

    Alrighty so they are asking for a cover letter, salary history, and a resume. My resume needs work...I've only written one cover letter for a job, and I've NEVER done salary history before. Any tips? I want this job soo bad I can taste it. I looked at their benefits and it got me all excited....Oh Lord I want this job and I am asking you all to help me fix up my resume so I can make my impression on Blizzard :D

    I need a better job....One with benefits. Taco Bell isn't cutting it for what I'm worth. I want a better job and need a better job. I'm getting married and the salary at Taco Bell won't go very far when trying to pay bills >.<

    Thanks for reading this. I appreciate it :]

    Seeing as though I've never had a job I can't really help unless its giving support. So good luck. I hope you get a job at blizzard. I eventually want to. But I live in Australia so my chances are quite slim... Good luck... I really hope you get the position. :)

    I hope you like WoW because judging from the 3rd requirement you will end up being some kind of in game GM for WoW. Also judging from the fact that since WoW is constantly adding new servers they will need to be constantly adding new GMs, unlike CMs for SC2 and D3 (which are the battle.net posters) that they only need a few of.

    You work at Taco Bell? Simple solution. Start stealing tacos and sell them on ebay!

    The plan:

    1. Stolen Tacos
    2. Ebay
    3. Tell people that they are Tacos that were owned by celebrities.
    4. Massive profits!! (millionaire overnight!!)

    Hey PC ;)

    Let me know if you get denied, and you can also list me as a reference if you'd like. I'd gladly back you on that one. Just PM me for my contact info.

    Also, I would second LK's opinion here that you will end up being a WoW rep. Just a forewarning. You might want to make clear that you are a major SC fan. ;)

    That will at least get you on the radar as an SC2 rep. ;)

    Woah! Good luck and I do hope you get the job. Ask them if you can get top secret info about Starcraft 2! Then post it on the forums!

    @ PC,

    I'm sure AJ would be more than happy to reference you. Just send him an e-mail. I'll let him know you asked as he's not online much lately. :D

    Nice resume. Looks like you've switched jobs a lot though.

    Btw, I'm like 5 minutes from San Dimas. I'm over at Pomona.

    I don't know if that'd be allowed. They might have an NDA (Non disclosure agreement) that prohibits this kind of thing. They even might not let you post on fan forums aboyt blizzard games. I know Apple don't let their employees post on Apple fan sites for anything bar general very non apple chat.

    SO if you got her job we might be losing you. But it is something you should check up on before you get the job I think.
