It’s a Blizzard Out There
Blizzard Entertainment is just one of the many video gaming websites raking in big bucks from online gamers. Intriguing story lines, engaging designs/graphics, and the ability to play with gamers throughout the World is proving a profitable choice for companies … and jobseekers!

What’s the Forecast?
How would you like working for a company supported by an estimated 8 million customers a month with a solid record of employee satisfaction? Recently, the game creator, Blizzard Entertainment, announced they’re rapidly hiring new employees. A fast-growing gaming company, and the mastermind behind the World Of Warcraft, the company has also scored big with other hit games such as StarCraft, Warcraft 1-3, and Diablo. With an estimated $1.5 billion in revenue, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Currently in the development stages are 3 new games slotted for release. With strong market growth and increased sales, demand for game development personnel grasping fresh resumes is a huge must.

Know the Company
Blizzard Entertainment began back in 1991. Working on video game titles that fell by the wayside, the company changed direction and began developing their own games, eventually finding great success with the Warcraft series. Drawing a following, the company has experienced consistent and fast-growing revenue growth since. With over 250 employees, the company doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Employment with Blizzard Entertainment would require relocation to Southern California or Austin, Texas, so keep that mind when applying. Positions currently available include:

• Lead 3D Character Artist - Next-Gen MMO
• 2D User Interface Artist
• Associate Brand Manager
• Web Designer

As you can see they’re not only hiring programmers but for positions for people with diverse skills as well. If you have what it takes, take advantage of this rare opportunity.

If you shoot for the moon and miss, you land amongst the stars. Good luck!
