Ciao,
I know where the answer will be going anyway, but it always helps to find out more, they always say 'knowledge is king'. I think they say that.
I often stare at your careers page, and dribble a little at the prospect and dream of working with such an awesome set of dudes(uni sexual term of course) and learning what there is to learn underneath the quilt that is the video game industry.
I found this little gem today. Looks delicious.

This isn't the first time I have mentioned [url=https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/164062185570582528]careers at Bungie[/url] to you. We spoke once, you and I.
I am finishing up my degree in Computing, learnt a ton of stuff, pointless citing it as its useless in the post. I learnt the various cruel mistress ' that are programming and expanded my reach within them after seeing various jobs long ago. My Goal: Work in a game studio. You are one of the best, and I know you guys value character(look at your staff?!), but skills are important. Unfortunately I believe you are [i]currently[/i] out of my reach, as I am across that mass of water, the Atlantic Ocean, in the UK.
I know what I am going to do when I finish in about 2 months. I am going to start building games, big and small, and build up an almighty portfolio to shake the very foundations of employers, but from there, how do I get to you.
So I come to my question. Would you hire someone (to quote some rap) 'fresh outta college'? Straight from university? Given they had the requirements and got the Bungie Seal? The Bungie podcast was a great inspiration when you would interview various employees, the routes they took in life, their experiences and how they ended up with you.
Would you 'assist' in helping relocate from one land mass to another as an employer?
And finally, what pathways, routes, or activities would you recommend a guy like me do to get to meet Mr.Bungie.
If you did read this, I appreciate it.
If you didn't well you won't be reading this bit either.
-- To anyone else that did read my wall of text, thanks. Don't flame a man for asking some questions that maybe others may be interested in finding out aswell.
-Note- Yes I have seen the breaking in articles, but looking at a more specific type of feedback here if possible. Thanks!
