cassidy 0 Posted December 23, 2004 I'll be doing my work experience at Nintendo!! I'm very lucky to have gotten it, because normally you need to sign up years in advance. Even employees can't get their kids positions! It's in April, so I'll update then and tell you all how it went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted December 23, 2004 SWEET!!!!! Here in the US, Nintendo has "high standards" for accepting employees. You have to get a BA in computers or graphics engineering. Sometimes masters degrees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spockstellaiter 0 Posted December 23, 2004 oh hooo *jealouw* congratulations! that sounds super fun tell us how it goes, what are you doing for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted December 23, 2004 I'm doing yr 10 work experience - do you do that in the US? i would assume you do, but I dunno. Nintendo is a bit different here though, because none of the game creation is done in Australia. It's just distribution, but exciting nonetheless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spockstellaiter 0 Posted December 23, 2004 No, I don't know what year 10 whatever is, could you please explain it a little more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Well essentially you just find an employer willing to take you, then spend a week with them, either doing odd jobs or observing the workplace. You get paid for it, but just a very minimal amount (something like $5 a day ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cassidy 0 Posted December 26, 2004 While I'm up there, maybe I can get a replacement part for my gameboy. The back battery thingy's broken, and the snib's fallen off. I have to secure the batteries in with stickytape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
