I just arrived in LA to attend SIGGRAPH 2010 and I am psyched.
I have always have been know to “fish for conversation”, I guess I got that from my mom. Either way, during the Super Shuttle ride from the LAX to Downtown, I started talking with a guy from EA - Florida. I don’t recall his name but was a cool guy and one of the software engineers in charge of EA’s proprietary render engine. His job is to develop and maintain the rendering engine on Tiger Woods PGA Golf, something like that.
He told me about the student resource site. https://jobs.ea.com/students/
Check it out, he mentioned that one of the main things that the look for is PORTFOLIO. - Cornell
Internships and Co-Ops
What better way to get into the game industry than by working as an EA intern or co-op? EA offers paid internships or co-op positions (pay ranges vary depending on experience and skills), so you can actually get paid for working on games. We will also include your name in the game credits - how cool is that? We'll even throw in some free EA games, too. Better yet, an EA internship or co-op just might lead to a career in games after your graduation.
An EA internship/co-op is a great way to get real-world experience in the games industry. You get hands-on experience working on actual projects, and the EA team you're working with benefits from your fresh perspective. We are confident that once you've sampled life at EA you'll want to come back after graduation.
