Work in games? Want some free exposure? I'm writing a UK careers book and am looking for people to feature - especially women

Hi there

I'm writing a careers boon on the games industry and am woefully short of women to feature in it.

It's a careers book aimed at people in the UK and will be mainly made up of Q&A-style profiles of people doing a range of games-related jobs – from level designers to testers and from production to games promotion. If you know of anyone who might be happy to feature, please spread the word. There's nothing onerous...just answering some questions by email and supplying a few photos.

People at any stage in their careers (graduate or not) very welcome. Women especially welcome of course!

Many thanks
Rebecca Dearden

Right.
So, essentially, you're just a spambot who doesn't work very hard?
I don't think this is a genuine person who wants to be part of the community, can we get the account banned?

Queue a creeping feeling of being used for Yoss...the shame.

Also - looking for women on a games forum? Really? The closest we've got to a woman is Skerret, the vegan.

Because of the state of this place, we've all buggered off to www.thebearandbadger.co.uk - come and have a look around!

Two threads and the white knight gives up. So much for chivalry.

It's 3 threads. There's another on page 2 that has no replies.

Apparently she's writing a careers boon. She may well be the Barbara Cartland of gaming.

Perhaps she thought making a thread in the morning would expose itself to a different, more serious forum clique.

Indeed. Chivalry has its limits.

Hmm, I copied and searched the thread title and the only results are here. Alt, or advanced spambot?

If neither, I'd still like an answer to my question in the first thread Rebecca, if you have a sec to follow up.
