Applying to Blizzard from Canada

Selaznog

Hey guys, I live in Canada and I'm trying to apply for a position in Blizzards California studio as a dungeon texture artist. I feel dumb for asking this here, but wasn't able to find any help on google and I figure lots of people here have applied for Blizzard in the past.

I don't see a drop down anywhere to choose my country. Just my city. On the final submission page it says I'm from the US and I don't know how to change this.

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Is this an actual dedicated texturing position? As in, dungeon texture artists may not paint textures for anything other than dungeons? :P

Selaznog

Yup it sure is. Don't ask why I went through the work of screenshotting haha

This is the first test.

Goodluck

I'm guessing by the requirements that Polycount University is not good enough for them?

What is Polycount University? I tried goggling and searching on the site.

Selaznog, did you enter your postal code? I just had a look at my account details and while I couldn't find a Country drop-down, my summary page says Canada.

It's a joke on PC where having 'experience' and work under your belt is much important then what degree you have in your hand, especially when your learn said experience on place like PC, so that was my joke for a lack of better terms, that just sometimes, if you wanna work somewhere, you need a piece of paper.

I just applied to the 3d Animator job (thanks for showing it to me!), and I'm in Canada. When I uploaded my resume in the first step, it took all my info from it for the second section where it asks you your postal code and city. Putting a postal code should make you a Canadian

Selaznog

Put in my postal code in different formats, didnt change anything

slipsius

Oh, mine says that too. I wouldnt worry about it. As long as it says canadian at the top for personal info.

the account summary page gives a country dropdown. But on closer inspection the Diversity section does say US... I'm sure as long as your contact info is correct they can figure it out.

Yes and if you're seen texturing anything other than a dungeon, you're instantly fired.

Yeah I also heard that you are flogged and told never to darken there doorstep again.

Jokes aside I hope you figure out this problem Selaznog.
