How Many Employees?

Why are you so sure? There's a lot of extra paperwork and legal red tape involved in hiring foreign employees. Not to mention the relocation costs are higher. While I do hope Paragon Studios are an accommodating employer in this regard, there are plenty of practical reasons they might not be.

I team with the Repeat Offenders.

Hence my question. Yep, there's a slew of paperwork, red tape, and I believe the rarer purple tape to go through. Considering that this obstacle may be more than a company needs to expend energy on given the current economic environment I thought it only prudent to ask the question before sending any application.

I flew over to the States for Hero Con '08 from New Zealand and have recently parted ways with my previous employer after 10 years (that's long enough for any one to have my soul ). So, yes, I'd be willing to relocate. The question is, would NCSoft / Paragon Studios, consider an applicant that would require the extra hoops to be jumped through?

I look forward to a reply from the team, if not forthcoming anytime soon (I know you're a busy bunch), I'll fire off my application regardless and it can be dealt with by HR appropriately.

Wow, someone earlier said it took them a week to get a rejection letter from Paragon Studios? It took me less than 8 hours.

More like 2 weeks, and this was before Paragon Studios existed, so I guess it was from NCSoft.

I've applied, but I doubt that I'll get it, considering half the people that use these forums are qualified for that position.

Or think they are.

Killbot is not the master of his domain, then.

For the rest of you who applied, do let us know how it goes!

Well, I finally got my rejection. Made it all the way through the pre-screening, the phone interview and the on site interview, but I guess I wasn't quite good enough. Perhaps I will give it another try if they are still hiring next year and I am still free to move out there.

---

Damn! Well, you got farther than I ever did, so good on you!

And do try again (hopefully before next year)... did they at least tell you what you can do to improve your chances?

I'd LOVE to be a QA tester for this game.

People always say they'd love to be a QA tester, but I'm not sure people realize that it's basically playing very specific parts of a game over and over and over and over again until your eyeballs bleed, fall out and you never, ever want to play the game again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or it could be as glamours as in the movie's Grandma's Boy...which has CoX cameos in it as well...

I had to work on that little game the QA guys were testing....I still want those 3 weeks back

Then again kind of hard to make a 360 game on a normal x-box and a laptop

///Qualified at least as a animator but likes were I'm at

Nope, I just got a standardized email saying that they get many qualified applicants for each of their positions, and that the credentials of the other candidates better suit their needs at this time. Maybe I'll try and get in touch with some of the people who interviewed me and ask how I could do better in the future.

---

Damn, that's too bad. I'd encourage you to follow up with your interviewers - hopefully they'll be able to give you some more info on what to work on to improve your chances!
