    Blizzard definitely has an NDA with all their employees. Heck, I even signed an NDA when I went to Irvine in order to get in the building. :D That's why I couldn't take any pictures or video. :-\

    Anyway, since she probably won't be working on any of the development teams she'll still be able to post here. :D

    Everyone at Warboards.org kept telling me that too about how I may not be able to post on forums anymore :[

    I would be SAD! :(

    Anywayz. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback :]

    Alrighty I got my resume and salary history already up to speed--But here's a peek at my cover letter which I just finished tonight at 12:40 a.m......>.<

    Any critiques and corrections?
    __________________________
    Blizzard Entertainment
    Irvine, CA 92606

    To Whom it May Concern:

    My extensive background in customer service, along with my knowledge of Blizzard and the games the company has created would make me a valuable contribution to the company to better serve your clients and customers.

    Since I was old enough to work I strived for excellence on a daily basis as was instilled into me by my parents. I genuinely enjoy treating people as I would like to be treated and make that a goal for myself everytime I deal with clients and the people that I have personal relationships with. Customer relations has been a daily routine in every job that I have possessed day in and day out.

    Additionally, I have been participating in StarCraft and WarCraft games since I was 12 years old. I even attended BlizzCon in 2005 as a StarCraft.Org representative and am attending this year as a StarCraft 2 Forums Representative. I am capable and confident that I am more than qualified to be an additional asset to Blizzard Entertainment so that I may contribute to the on-going development and growth of the company. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Sincerely,
    Grace Almada

    To Whom it May Concern:

    My name is Grace Almada and I am applying for a position with Blizzard Entertainment as a customer relations specialist. I feel that my extensive background in customer service, along with my knowledge of Blizzard as a company and the franchises Blizzard has developed wpi;d make me a valuable contribution to the company to help you better serve your clients and customers.

    From a young age parents taught me to never accept any less than excellence in every task I approached and I believe I can apply this same tenacity to a position with Blizzard. I genuinely enjoy interacting with people about real problems and I enjoy the satisfaction of offering real solutions and gaining customer trust. I have learned in previous positions that customer relationships are an integral part of any business and I understand the importance of customer satisfaction.

    In addition to my experience I have also been enjoying the StarCraft and WarCraft franchises since I was 12 years of age. I even attended BlizzCon in 2005 as a StarCraft.org representative and am attending this year as a StarCraft2Forum.org representative. I am confident that I am more than qualified to be an outstanding addition to the Blizzard Entertainment team and I look forward very much to contributing to the continued growth and success of Blizzard Entertainment.

    I very much appreciate your time in reviewing my application.

    Sincerely,


    Grace Almada

    I would leave out the 'very much's, they don't suit the formal style.

    Good luck with the job. May you remember us when it comes to top secret info ;)

    Or if you're going to do it really carefully. Like download the entire game onto a flash drive and the middle of the day and sneak out humming the Mission Impossible theme song.
