VinWarrior Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 With Halo on it's way, 343i Is gearing up and hiring yet another member of it's staff, this time, in the Writing Department. 343 Industries has done quite a lot of hiring lately and bringing new people on board, this time, they are adding to their writing department, with a qualified person. The newly hired employee must be able to work with the Halo lore and twist it in a way that makes it still work, as well as the usual behaviors around the workplace which are common. In summary, they need to have precise attention to detail of the Halo universe and be able to perform to the best of their abilities in creating a script for future Halos. To do that requires extensive training in that field.

Points are added if the employee has skills such as experience in editing and writing in-game content and doing the same for audio, which is said to raise it by ten points, and web publishing experience, a minor seven points. View attachment: 343iHiring.JPG Of course 343i Includes a writing sample which will determine if you have what it takes or not. This will have the applicant write a 1000 word or less summary of the concept of "The Mantle". Included must be images and videos when appropriate. To push you further in the project, 343i has said below: "Anticipate that this document would be used by Halo creators at 343 Industries and external development/creative partners. " The position is still open to those who are willing to attempt it. Would you want to work for 343i?

Elite Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Please actually be able to write. Please actually be able to write. Please actually be able to write. Seriously. I think the only thing that Halo writing beats is Game of Thrones. Mass Effect beats both by far, Doctor Who and Sherlock a bit less but still by bloody far.

Charles Harbaugh Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I personally applied for this job on Microsoft's website, created my resume and submitted it. However, I was unable to figure out how to either attach, or write in the writing sample I created. I spent over an hour attempting to figure this out, and sent a feedback report to Microsoft, but that was several days ago. I received an email confirming that they received my application but have not received anything else pertaining to my question about submitting the writing sample. My hope is that someone on staff will either be able to inform me of my mistake, or explain how to submit it otherwise. This is the absolute job of my dreams, I have been writing my own fiction for many years (like many many others within the community) and am rather upset that the only thing holding me back from even a chance at achieving it, is either misunderstanding the directions, or simply being unable to locate the proper tools to submit my work. Thank you for the opportunity, and hopefully providing me with an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
