So, Riot Games recently opened their Summer Internship applications. 👀 To all current Students aiming to apply: A REJECTION DOES NOT DEFINE YOUR WORTH. 👏👏👏 The Industry is in a tough space right now, and a lot of us are only at the beginning of it. Keep Networking. 🤝 Keep applying to open positions. 😎 But NEVER let those automated rejection emails determine whether or not you're good enough to work in Games. 🔥 All it takes is one Recruiter willing to take a chance. 😄 #GameIndustry #GameDevelopment #Internship #Opportunity #EntryLevel #Hiring #Student #Community #Network #OpenToNetwork #Marketing #Jobseekers #Resource #Support #MentalHealth #Art

Yesterday was #NationalInternDay! Here are the top three things I've learned as an intern at Blizzard Entertainment ❄ 1. Ask questions! When I started my internship, I was very quiet and nervous about asking for help or context. Now, I have no problem hitting up our Slack channels or turning to my desk neighbor with my 10th question of the day! Your team wants to help you succeed and learn, so don't be afraid to ask any and all questions. 2. Seek feedback As an intern at one of the biggest gaming companies in the country, I am surrounded by incredibly talented, creative people! I have gotten so much value out of asking for feedback on my projects, portfolio, and resume. Continuously getting my work critiqued allows me to practice iterative design and constantly improve my craft. 3. Be yourself Bringing your authentic self into the office is the best way to make meaningful connections and build a supportive network. My time at Blizzard has grown my confidence and shown me the importance of being yourself, even in a professional environment. My internship at Blizzard has been absolutely incredibly, and I am so grateful to my team, the other interns, and the recruiters for creating such a supportive environment for me to grow and learn! #ABK #ActivisonBlizzard

At Gameotivity, we believe in the power of passion, learning, and innovation to shape the future of gaming. This summer, we had the privilege of selecting only 6 talented interns to join us for a transformative experience. Throughout this journey, each of them demonstrated an incredible dedication to mastering the craft of game development & designing. Their curiosity, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence remind us why we started Gameotivity — to create not only great games but to build a thriving community of innovators who will redefine how the world experiences play. As we gathered for the Interns Dinner 2024, we celebrated the accomplishments of these rising stars. This is not just the end of their internship, but the beginning of a lifelong adventure in the gaming industry. 🚀 Here's to the future — where their passion meets endless possibilities. Let’s continue building, learning, and creating, because the best is yet to come!

🚨Attention 2026 Grads! 🚨 Are you an art student, sound design student or research/data science graduate student interested in working in games?? 🎨🔊📈 Submit an application for the 2025 Riot Games U.S. Summer Internship Program hosted by the Riot University Programs team! (That’s us below!) 👊 😎 Available remote internship roles can be found on Riot's University Programs webpage, and the application deadline for these intern roles is Friday, January 10, 2025 at 11:59pm PT: https://lnkd.in/gB5rMshi Below is a list of all the resources I usually share with candidates who are looking to learn more about the Riot U.S. Summer Internship Program, and what it's like to be an artist at Riot. (All of these resources were created by the Riot University Programs team, former Riot interns, and various teams across Riot!) While we expand on this in Volume 2 and 3 of the Riot Internship Study Guide series, my best advice to students interested in applying for a Riot internship is the following: 1) Take time to reflect on why you are interested in working in games (and at Riot!), and why you are interested in pursuing your specific discipline/craft professionally. A thoughtful, personal response goes a long way ❤️ 2) Art Roles - Please prepare and organize your portfolio! Also make sure your portfolio is accessible! (i.e. no broken links) While most of these resources are tailored for Riot's U.S. Summer Internship Program, they contain great general advice for preparing for internship applications, interviews, and generally what it's like to work in the games industry.

Today is the last day of my 12 week internship at Roblox. I would like to thank everyone on the Business Development team for welcoming and supporting me throughout this amazing experience. Especially, I would like to thank my mentors Finley Code and Alexandria Kuo for their incredible guidance, training, and friendship. As part of a small and instrumental team, I was able to materially contribute to our goal of driving revenue, innovation, and user growth through external partnerships. I had the opportunity to dive into a wide range of responsibilities, from ideating virtual item offers to analyzing data to redlining legal agreements. However, my main projects and deliverables included:      1. Managing 11 content promotion campaigns across 4 app store channels, generating hundreds of millions of views and millions of net new app downloads.      2. Conducting data analysis to inform our audience targeting for marketing and strategic partnerships opportunities.      3. Managing communications with external partners to secure high-visibility app store featuring placements for select content promotions and accelerate various partnership campaigns.      4. Spearheading a program with internal stakeholders and our creator community to promote top experience updates on app store channels.      5. Creating competitive profiles and executive summaries on key industry events.      6. Executing traditional BDR outreach to partners in key verticals for our direct revenue code sales program. Again, I'd like to thank everyone at Roblox who helped me this summer. I've learned so much about prioritization, organization, and communication that will benefit me no matter what I do next. I’m excited to find out what that next chapter is!
