Bump of utter desperation.
... Well, all the surefire ways to get Riot's attention usually result in the attention-seeker being ended ... almost ready to go with the suit strategy.

Thought I would check back in to this thread. Just got an e-mail back a few days ago that informed me I am not the right candidate for the position. I have experience in QA from two different previous positions at gaming companies, but that's fine...it was a long shot anyways since I live in WA...but there is one thing that bothers me.

The phone interview I had was one of the worst I've ever had, honestly. Immediately after introducing himself and allowing me to, he goes, "Ready to get started?" It almost through me off with how direct he was being...almost thought I was speaking to a recording. Like he's some kind of a robot, he begins to obviously start reading some already planned out questions from a piece of paper. Most questions having nothing at all to do with QA. I was extremely excited for this interview and to talk to somebody from Riot...but they decided to give me the most stoic interviewer possible.

I was expecting a bit more from Riot...I can't say I'm not disappointed.

Good luck to you though sir! Hopefully your experience goes a lot better.

Hey Hohums or any riot employee, is it possible to do any job from home? Maybe player support specialists, or something else that doesn't require you to move to California because I enjoy working at home a lot.

All positions require you to move to cali or other onsite locations as of the moment sadly.

There was a point where they hadn't specified (just implied) that - but now most job pages say that it is in their LA office... is a semi-obvious statement more useless than just saying "Bump"?

My question is, how do I know whether or not an opening is available as an intership? Will it have internship behind it?

I'm currently studying in Holland and pursuing a degree in International Business and Management studies so I'd be very interested in an internship in the marketing or community department, or even as an e-sports manager or coordinator, if that's possible of course.
I'm currently in my second year, and of course advancing to my third year after the summer, of which the first semester (6-7 months) is when I should have my internship.

And another question would be, since I live in the Netherlands which is in EU obviously, would it still be possible for someone from the EU to have an internship at the US offices?

Thanks in advance,

Scylin
In some departments at least internships will be listed as 'Assistant' positions, rather than directly as internships, so those are the ones to look at if you're after temporary/entry level positions. Not sure how many we've got posted right now though.
