For those of you who can be in the Osaka area on September 23, my school is holding its annual HAL-MODE FESTIVAL, wherein graduating students show off their portfolios (among other things). As a student, I can get as many tickets as needed, so drop me a line if you’re interested.
I should be worrying about the upcoming J-Ken, but instead I find myself thinking about the fact that I’m going to have to take a test before I can become employed. This is apparently standard practice for Japanese companies, and I know that big companies like Nintendo are notorious for having difficult math portions.
Are there any American companies that do this? I mean, most of my friends are employed and I have never heard of any of them having to take a test… not even those who are game programmers (which is where I’ll have to start out in all likelihood). Am I just that oblivious, or is it really just that Japan in particular believes the malarkey that tests are the best way to measure aptitude?
