Crytek looking for interns

[Chris Auty]

You only need to speak English. Other languages such as German will help but are not essential. I speak English, a little french and no German as Friechamp will tell you.

[FrieChamp]

Yep, Chris keeps successfully resisting against the German language. He's like a natural antibody in a world full of German

[Minos]

Moving to germany would be really crazy, I dont think I'd have enough courage to do it ~ (But it would be cool)

[Acumen]

*cough*whats an intern btw, anyways ?*cough*

What do interns do. Is it like a "Praktikant" ?

like, does he say "ok, look, this is what I can do and what I did so far. Can I come to your office and teach me tons of new stuff so I get really good at it and you give me the chance to work as a full time employee"

Or how could the work of an inter be described ?

[st0lve]

An intern is a guy who works at the office, and not from home.

You are thinking about trainee I think.

[FrieChamp]

st0lve: Incorrect. You are fired.

Fabi: An intern is somebody who makes coffee and operates the copier.

j/k

"ok, look, this is what I can do and what I did so far. Can I come to your office and teach me tons of new stuff so I get really good at it and you give me the chance to work as a full time employee"

describes it pretty well. The difference between being an intern and being an apprentice/trainee (at Crytek) is that you can't get fired out of fiscal reasons as an apprentice and you go to some weird school one week a month where they teach you how to design business cards on apple machines. And you get less money.

Fabi: Praktikant, yep. :]

I guess it's like you get to go and see the inner workings of a games company... maybe you get to help out working on some stuff too... or they'll make you get their coffee and massage their feet while they're mapping away.

WHO KNOWS.

[Acumen]

ah, ok.

always wanted to massage someones feet

but thats a pretty neat offer. I hope some talented people in here get chosen. Would be cool to hear.

*goesondreaming*

I'll practise my coffee making skills then and one day, who knows, I might be getting an intern as well \o/

but thanks for the info, finally I know that that term means. Always wondered what that was all about.

[st0lve]

I am dumb, but I wasn't even hired, so I guess it doesn't matter if I am fired

[Lee3dee]

OMG, Crytek, I wish I lived close to you good luck to all those that apply

[Kreigore]

Hmm it aint that far from Sweden and i could use the money (and experiance!) altho I´ve been called to the army kind of spoils everything.

[Fullauto]

Can't ever read the word intern without thinking of a certain head of state and a cigar

Anyhow, looks like a great chance for those of you on mainland europe

[Schmung]

Hell, I'd be up for it, getting a start in the games industry would be great, I really don't know what sort of level of skill you're looking for in terms of entry level/intern positions. Guess I should e-mail Chris and ask.

[kleinluka]

why dont you just apply? it's not like there's anything to lose, right?

[Bluestrike]

Guess having made a FC sp map would be a nice example work to submit? http://www.bluestrike.be/maps/farcry.html

I would apply if it was closer to the Belgium side of Germany so I would not have to move, but I'm to insecure/ uncertain/indencive to try

I should have gone into the army, nothing as good as being telled what to do, can't do anything wrong then

And a man must have dreams to keep going
