What is it about Playstation?


A Passion for Games

A Passion for Games

My love for video games goes back a long time. I started making my own games at 10 years old, and since then it's been my ultimate goal to work in the industry. The opportunity to work at Playstation is a dream come true.

Who better to grow with than an industry legend like Playstation? The passion that SCEA has for developing amazing experiences for its fans is, I truly believe, unparalleled. That's something I want need to be involved in.

C'mon, it just looks like a super fun place to work! And I'd be lying if I said the allure of working alongside some of the smartest and most talented individuals in the industry today wasn't overwhelmingly exciting.

Simply put, I want to help Playstation create amazing experiences.

10 Reasons You Should Hire Me


1

I’m passionate about great design. I’m the guy in the bookstore who is most definitely judging the book by its cover. Seriously... I’ll pay more for the sexy copy.

2

I have a hunger for learning. A never-ending quest for growth is what fuels me. I understand that I can always get better and am always striving for that.

3

Deadlines? No problem. I thrive on pressure and always strive to meet goals with time to spare. Crunch-Time is my favorite cereal and I eat deadlines for breakfast.

4

I’m a self-starter and I’ll work by butt off. I don’t need permission to start solving problems or to build great things—you have my word.

5

This isn’t just any job to me. This is a dream job. My passion for video games goes way back and I will take that enthusiasm to work with me every day.

6

Collaboration is my middle name. I know that teamwork is the key to a company’s success and I thoroughly enjoy working together to create great results.

7

Mediocrity is not an option. I’m constantly striving to produce the best quality work that I’m capable of—I can promise that you’ll always get my best effort.

8

Cross-disciplined ninja samurai—design and code. I have a keen eye for visual design and the technical chops to execute a polished product.

9

The balance between function and aesthetic: Great design isn’t just about making something look pretty—first and foremost, it has to serve its users and it has to work.

10

Personality is important. I’m a fun-loving and easygoing dude, and I get along with pretty much everyone. Face it, no one likes working with a Debbie-Downer.

What are my qualifications, you ask?

Working on a small team I've had to wear many hats, but it's also been extremely important to be able to rely on my other team members when I need help, and to be available to them when they do. I've learned that success doesn't come through just relying on your own abilities, but being able to utilize feedback (positive or negative) in a constructive way.
