    Default Resume for new job

    Need to know who I can and can't put down as references on my resume.

    I was offered a job at EA Games (there's one within 30 miles from my house, the maitland FL location), and need to send in a resume ASAP.

    I put down my previous coworker and employer. But who else?

    If you volunteered, see if anyone's still around to vouch for you.

    Or get a friend or family member with a different last name to lie on your behalf, something simple, like you fixed their computer for them or something pointless like that. Just give them a heads up that they might get a call regarding it.

    If you get the Job try to help them improve there crappy sports games. EAs NBA & NHL are horrible compared to 2Ks NBA & NHL Games.

    Don`t know if it`s the same as over here but usually we include references for character purposes, anyone that is not an immediate family member and has known you for more than 5 years, along with our previous employment/work experience etc.

    I don't include family for references unless they have a different last name.

    That's pretty cool, way to go! Getting on at a game company is a great thing these days. I hope it all works out!

    Sweet, applying for EA games. Tell us what it's like working there if you get the job.

    Isn't that every video gamer's dream as a kid? "I want to work at a game company, where I can make the most awesomest games ever!" Either that or Game Tester.

    I'd be going for any position available. Can't be too picky in this economy right now.

    I played wow with some dudes that had jobs as gametesters. One of them advanced to be the others boss (they were all IRL friends) so he didnt have to do anything. He just played games all day and made sure that the other dudes wrote their revies/whatever. :P
