I was half joking about my applying. It would mean the world to me to have any sort of job at Bungie. ( I cannot see myself working anywhere else) But with school and my current job, I am afraid I would have to give one up so I could work the 40+ hours that one is expected to be able to work during the week. I believe that I am 99% ready to be a progression tester, the last 1% is there because I have yet to actually step foot into the Bungie workplace, so full judgment cannot be passed. Personally I have no problem with this because I would be doing what I love and that knowledge would keep me going into the long hours of the night. I would apply immediately but I am afraid that my age would be seen as a bad thing, either as a lack of skill or an overall lack of experience. While I have only the basic knowledge of coding I have spent much f the past 4 years writing, designing, and concepting (not a real word) my own video game ideas. I have even designed the first levels for two of my game ideas. I have always been good at communicating ideas to people, I love working with others when we all share a passion for something, and I have broken my fair share of games (through gameplay not physically) and I feel the combination of my energy and enthusiasm plus the hundreds of hours I have stockpiled of me searching for ways to break games and escape the boundaries the developers had set up, would add the extra punch to the testers that would help keep Destiny from breaking down anytime soon. Yet I am scared that they would deny me because I am a nineteen year old applying for a job at one of the most prolific game-development companies in the entire world. Coming across as headstrong or overly-confident is a big fear of mine so it is hard to explain in a resume "why I am the best at this...". If I had support I would gladly take that leap of faith, but that does not mean I won't try. Bungie is not just my future workplace, it will be like a home to me one day. And I am going to make that happen sooner rather than later.
