Want to work for Bioware?
Bioware (the developers of the PC Baldur's Gate games, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, and Jade Empire) is having a writing contest. The only bad thing is that your writing sample has to be in the form of a Neverwinter Nights module, so you have to know how to program a module. The top 8 winners though will be reviewed for possible employment at Bioware. Even if you are not hired, each winner still receives the following:
* BioWare coffee mug
* BioWare wool cap
* Jade Empire soundtrack
* Jade Empire t-shirt
* Copies of all Premium Neverwinter Nights Modules
Details about the contest can be found here: http://www.bioware.com/biozone/artic...est/index.html

I saw this, quite an intriguing way to go about finding someone. I've seen their writing jobs posted on their Web site before, and it requires making a NWN module just the same, only longer and more in depth. I wonder what prompted them to publicly declare a hiring and make it a contest. Maybe lack of people applying? I know other people from the NWN community have been hired on before as well, so doing so is not new for Bioware.

Yeah it does seem like a really strange way to go about hiring people. I would think they would get enough applications normally. They are a well-respected company that makes really good RPGs. I would think a lot of people would be applying to work there. Bioware is like the American-version of Squaresoft; Squaresoft is the king of Japanese RPGS, and Bioware is the king of American RPGS.
