Hi,
So I applied on their site.
An Activision recruiter got back to me, and set me up with a phone interview with their Development Director.
This phone interview was 2 days ago, for ~30 min.
I'm still mulling it all over in my mind, I was a lot more chatty and nervous then I've ever been in any interview.
Hell, I do phone/ Skype/ VOIP convos for years now with no issue, it's my primary mode of communication.
This felt different somehow.
I've done phone interviews before, many times.
They said, if selected for on sight, it would be a 6-8 hour interview series.
I've never done anything like that before, and beyond the research I did, that talked a bit about this. I'm not sure what to expect.
If selected, I'd be working in production for the next Call of Duty.
Beyond just awaiting their decision, is there anything else I should do or know about these guys?
The interviewer said multiple times I had good experience, even tho it's not formal.
But, there were also a few times he was asking a specific question, and I went all passionate Idealistic, instead of the direct answer.
I usually don't do that during an interview.
How do I damp down my passion a bit, so I can give them a shorter answer?
I know we ran out of time more, since I went all chatty....
Sigh...
This was my 1st ever direct convo with a AAA studio in an employment context.
