ARG Jobs

I'm guessing a lot of them involve a degree in some sort of computer field. Of course they would like to see your experience so it is best to try and get some with a grassroots game perhaps which you can post your skills in the PM help thread.

Funny you should mention, but if you're bilingual Jane McGonigal is looking for a junior puppetmaster...if you have the skills that's a surefire way to build your resume and make connections, which seems to be a good way of entering any industry.

I believe that much of it is showing what you're capable of doing. As someone who is aspiring to get a development company off the ground, I would have to say that when hiring writers I want to find someone with experience within the genre and has shown the capability and responsibility to create and run a game. Some jobs, such as IT and programming, I would look for people with experience in those aspects moreso than experience within the genre.

I guess for the most part, if you want to work for an ARG development company - show them what you can do in whatever it is that you want to do, and you may find yourself working with someone on a game.
