Hey there, Lycar! It makes me happy to hear that you're interested in working in the gaming industry. Speaking personally, it's an incredibly fun and exciting environment, full of opportunities for education and growth.

To get you started, you may want to begin by reading through the Careers FAQ (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/faq.html). Here are just a few excerpts from that document:

Q u o t e:
How do I get a job at Blizzard?
Please refer to the jobs section (https://blizzard.taleo.net/careersection/2/moresearch.ftl?lang=en) of our website for a current list of opportunities.

I want to work for Blizzard, but I am from a foreign nation.
If you are not a United States citizen, you will need a work visa to work in the United States. A four-year degree and/or work experience can certainly help you acquire a work visa.


In the jobs section noted, we list all publicly available job listings for all regions. If you're not comfortable or able to work in the US, there's also positions open in Ireland, France, Korea, and more! You can even apply online.

Now, I realize you may have some additional questions, but those are best addressed to the hiring manger responsible for each position. If you apply and receive a response back, that would be the best time to ask any questions. :)


Good luck, Lycar!
