Hard to say which forum this goes to since the job vacancies forum is for D&D and d20. This is fantasy related - yes Magic isn't D&D but getting a job at WotC is something I'm sure a lot of posters here would be interested in. So I'll put it here, but if the mods bump it I understand.

Mark Rosewater said:[h3]What is the job?[/h3]
The job title is Magic Creative Writer. It is part of the Magic Creative Team and reports to the Magic Lead Designer (that would be me). The job, in short, is one of creative concept generation. In English, that means that it is responsible for helping to come up with the different creative elements (names, flavor text, card concepts, world development, etc.) for use in Magic. The job is not design or development although it does interact with the designers and developers.
[h3]What are the basic requirements?[/h3]
You need to be able to relocate to Seattle and be currently eligible to work in the United States. In addition, you need to have the appropriate skills for the job.
[h3]What are the appropriate skills?[/h3]
All the job skills are listed at the job's official listing in the Wizards of the Coast Job Center.
[h3]What do I need to apply?[/h3]
Follow the instructions at the official listing. If you do not properly follow all the instructions you will not get the job.
[h3]Can I send my resume to you personally?[/h3]
No. In order to apply you must apply through proper channels at the official job listing.
[h3]When will the job be hired?[/h3]
We are looking to hire as soon as possible. The position will be posted for just three weeks.
[h3]Are my chances improved if I personally e-mail you?[/h3]
No. I apologize for being a bit repetitive, but I want to stress that e-mailing me is not the way to get this job. You need to go through the official listing. I cannot give any further advice to potential applicants.
Good luck!
