I just applied to be a Gamemaster on Nexon's site. I don't know if I'll get the position or not. I do live in their area - I go to school at UCLA. It is noted the position is temporary (part-time) so I'd only have to work 20 hours a week. I am ok with staying up at night, etc, and I mentioned all of that. So guys, I'll tell you a bit about me, and you guys tell me if you think I'll get the position. I have no idea what they're looking for. I've held 3 jobs before - One in fast food (Chipotle), one in retail (Best Buy), and one as a Pharm Technician (Walgreens). I've done intern work for a Biotech Company (Genetic Engineering) and a Comp Software Company. I have a 3.7 GPA, 2200 SAT, going to take my MCAT, etc etc. I participate in 2 clubs - PILLS (Future Pharmacists) and our local Future Doctors without Borders. I've done volunteer work for a local library, as well as a nearby hospital. They asked for my resume - I listed my honors on that, AP Scholar, Dean's Honor's List, Chancellor's Honor's List, etc. There's a few numbers for them to call for my previous employers (I quit for all of them), and a short description of my skills (I'm a fairly good artist, know my way with a computer, etc). What do you guys think? Am I gonna be a GM? EDIT: For everyone who keeps thinking my 3.7 GPA is bad, I am in the top 1/10th of my class - this is college, not highschool. I know people who had 4.0's in highschool now struggling with 3.0's.

No. The fact that you're asking us only proves how unconfident/ uncertain you are.

You don't seem to have any knowledge at all in the technical background of computers and programming... I don't think so

[quote] RunDevil : No. The fact that you're asking us only proves how unconfident/ uncertain you are. [/quote] It's a pretty different job than what I've done before - plus I don't know what they're looking for. I just want to see if players think I would make a good GM.

No way. If you graduated high school, you're overqualified.

If you get hired, and give one billion mesarz, then I'll say you're GM material.

If you are friendly. GMing is more of a people-person type thing, no real advanced knowledge is needed. As long as you are friendly, nice, and charming, then you'll do okay.

Well, if the job only involves in game interactions, you should be fine. If you need to actually help Nexon market their merchandise/"improve" the game...then they might be looking for people with degrees in marketing science and whatnot.
