Rainbow Studios Q & A (part 1)
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Recently, I was able to attend an information session with video game studio Rainbow Studios at my school. Rainbow Studios is a subsidiary of THQ and is one of the largest video game developers in the Southwest United States. The event was hosted by lead designer Mark Buchignani who conducted a question and answer session with students. I tape recorded the event and will be posting the entire transcript in a multi-part series over the course of the next 4-6 weeks.

Saturday, November 7, 2009
An on-campus interview is an interview that is conducted by a company at your school. Like a phone screen, it’s a first round interview that will decide whether or not you get invited to interview on-site. Companies that recruit heavily at your college usually are the ones that will offer on-campus interviews.
