My dream is... @Riot

  • Hi there GD and possibly @Riot @Morello @Pendragon @Phreak, @davin, @Lyte, @RiotDudeBro
    It is 12 am and I'm lying on my bed. I decided to share my dream with league and hopefully a rioter will see.

    My dream isn't to become the best of the best in league of legends (it would be nice but I have a long way to go and a lot to learn). My dream is to work for Riot Games. I know, original right? :P

    So you may ask, why do I want to work at Riot. My future aspirations is to work in the gaming industry, as I believe it is one of the fastest growing industries out there. to me, Riot Games has been a role model of a company (if that's a thing) for me from its player support, to it's amazing player interaction and great business model. And after going to a seminar when Riot Games came to my university, I wanted in.

    Why should Riot consider me? I do NOT have a 4.0 GPA (btw I'm in Canada), however, I have, what I like to believe, other awesome qualities. Despite me being in accounting (I know borin right), I am a fun, creative individual who's outgoing and very very spontaneous. I am also very very passionate about League of Legends if you can't tell with my over 5k games.

    What would I bring to the table? My passion, my dedication, and my ability to learn and adopt. I want to work in the gaming industry and I believe, Riot Games may be the best fit for me out there.

    What will I do to show you my dedication and skills? Of course I will submit a resume and cover letter but I don't think that's enough to convince Riot. So, from TODAY, I swear to be the most positive player in the game, I will go on the forums and help other players, and most importantly, I will demonstrate my skills through analyzing QQ threads or "I want this" threads.

    Oh and what do I want? A simple business or accounting related job that will help me learn from experience. I may not be the best candidate, but I will become one of the best employees.

    So GD and @Riot, help me fulfill my dream and have me work for Riot, even just for four months (my next coop term)

    Sincerely Yours,
    SwaggieBear (Formerly JZBear)

    TL;DR I want to work at Riot, help me <3
    If you want to help, help me by liking this post! And bumping this thread ty!!!!

    As one of my fellow summoner suggested, I post examples on how I am passionate, funny and creative. ALSO WILLING TO LEARN.
    - I was Yearbook editor in HS, in charge of all creative design and layout of the yearbook
    - i made a few videos with a team in university to provide information, these are some of the videos that included me (im the chubby guy who always randomly shows up and the guy who's carrying the sweat shirt or the ... well the chubby guy usually, wearing red )

    This. Put this same passion into your resume, cover letter and everything you do in life because that goes a long way! Good luck!
  • My advice to you would be this: Try and never stop trying.

    I personally started out on the forums as a Wrenchmen (the first female Wrenchmen in fact). I had a great passion for League of Legends before I even started working for Riot, and seeing so many people on the Help and Support forums having issues that kept them from enjoying something that I enjoyed so much sparked something in me that I had never felt before.

    I would go there and try to help out as many people as I could, never expecting anything in return. When I was nominated and became a Wrenchmen it was a HUGE honor, because that meant that my being helpful meant a lot and it gave my posts a little more weight.

    I applied to Riot a few months after that, not thinking I had enough schooling or experience to get in. When I was called for an interview my passion for Riot and League must have made me stand out, because I was hired a few weeks after that.

    So, for anyone else that thinks they're not talented or good enough - you never know until you try!
