"SI Games - Junior Programmer"

Thought some of you guys (or gals) might be interested in this; SI Games are advertising for a junior programmer on their website to work on the CM games. I know some of you are keen to get into programming - so here you go.

I anyone is interested into getting into the industry, have a look at the recruitment ads at the back of EDGE- every company from Rare to Sony Europe advertise places there.

Oh. but I am that perfect ;0)

The reason they call it a Junior Programmer is because, in relation to the other programmers who are already working there, let's call them senoir programmers to give you an idea, you would be junior in terms of experience.

As Craw mentioned, you can't just walk in an start programming code if you've no education in that area - it's not like making tea and sending faxes.

Sorry if it was that misleading.

I never called you stupid. I called SI Games stupid. And whatever his name is who made this post, sorry if I spelt qualified wrong, but am i right in saying that you can spell every word correctly, like that you are perfect? No, you can't! I looked at the site, and when I posted, it came out wrong. If they want University students, then why did they call it junior programmer?

I am going to be a games programmer when i leave school and go to college/uni (next year)


I currently program in Visual Basic 6.

Ummm... Junior Programmer tends to be at a slightly higher level than 'Office Junior'.

Yes, not a school leavers position, or school goers for that matter. Still, might be a few about who would be interested.

Or maybe not...

*Looks around, and then puts hand up*
