Greetings to the Fiesta Community!
I've got some great news that I'd like to deliver which, at the same time, may address some questions commonly asked by many of you.
In short, we're looking for some interns to become our newest Outspark GMs, and what better place to look for people who can familiarize themselves with our community and the games we publish than the people who are already a part of our community and play our games. We'd like to extend this opportunity for those of you who are enthusiastic about what we're working on getting accomplished and would like to become part of a dynamic, growing, close-knit, and fun-loving team.
Those who are applying through this channel MUST be aware of the job and our expectations. Essentially take yourself outside of the aspect of the game itself and ask yourself if you'd like to try and spark an exciting career in the gaming industry.
This is essentially a contract based internship with the title of Jr. Game Master, which, based on performance, has the possibility to evolve into an extended contract or even a full-time role.
At this time we are only looking for individuals who can commute daily to our headquarters in San Francisco, California.
For those of you who are genuinely interested in learning the ins-and-outs of an online gaming publisher you can expect to experience the following:
