How did you get into the industry? Do you have any tips for breaking in?
I was actually told the company was looking to hire QA interns by my uncle and aunt Steven and Christiane Meister who both work at Bethesda. At the time, I was working in retail and hating every day of it. I immediately applied; I didn't know what to expect, having never working in the gaming industry before, but I knew I had an addiction to video games and would love to have a hand in helping to make them, even just testing to make sure that they work properly. As luck would have it, I got the job and I quit my retail job as quickly as I could. I know it's not a very exciting story, but believe me, I was very happy to leave retail!
As for advice to getting in the industry I am so awful with these kinds of questions, I never really know what to say, especially something that hasn't been said already in the other interviews. I'd say be enthusiastic and passionate about the job. I think this is something very encouraging for your potential employers to see of course they would want to hire someone who is going to love what they do!
