Professional Giantbomb Staff Stalker 
 
I should get the job because i already watch every single piece of video or audio clip they put up, listened to most bombcasts at least twice, talk about the staff to both people who know of the site and people who don't, already did background research into how all of the members got where they are today, and i'd be completely happy just following them around in their van. 
 
As a bonus i'll also follow around Dave.

My dream CAREER would be to work with in the Gaming Industry. And I already do it!
 
At this moment in time I'm a games tester, but you've got to start somewhere, and there's a great big ladder for me to climb up to where I want to be! (Composing music for games).
 
@Some1:
 
The whole "being a tester is a really crap job", is a bit of a myth, but I totally understand where it comes from. I happen to really love my job. Not all testing jobs are working for lifeless, soulless publishers! And they're certainly not all "Sit in this cubicle, shut up and break this game", I speak from experience.

Contract Killer.  Or criminal profiler (which is what I'm working toward right now). 
 
I would also love to return to acting. 
 
I do write music and fiction, so it would be great if those got released.

You could be George W. Bush. He was president, and his idiocracy inspired dozens of movies, songs and television shows. Two birds with one stone! 
 
For me, I'd say that my dream job would be to become Nolan North. By that, I mean do an assload of film and video game voice work.

Thanks Dude! I appreciate it!
 
Best of luck to you too! If I could give any advice it would be to never give up chasing the job, if you really want it!
 
When I originally applied for the job, I didn't get it. I did my "homework" and researched more into what was expected of me, re-applied and was successful!

I want to be a film director, because I believe I can do it better than him. 
 
Plus I have already worked on a couple of shortfilm productions and I have been to Cannes Film Festival, no bullshit, so my dream would be to work with film for a living on a professionel level and directing them, and not "just" work with sound as I do now.

Like, one of those big coffee table books? About asses? I'd buy that. "Asses of the World: An Artist's Collection". "
Sold. 
 
Similar to the OPs dream job, I'd love to work at a place like Harmonix. I listen to their podcast quite a bit and their audio mixing team sound like a great bunch of people. Plus there's John Drake, and nobody beats John Drake. I'm not going to pretend to talk to Alex Rigopulos, that's dumb.  :P

This is true for any line of work, it's more about the employer than anything else. 
 
Personally, I want to do what I want to do, only means to do that, is being your own, which I'm working towards. And yeah, that's a lot of work.

I've written since I was a tot, so I guess it'd be cool to become a published writer. 
 
But I'd really like to be a psychologist and actually make a difference in other people's lives.

Serious response: Forensic Scientist, as I believe it to be a worthwhile endeavor, and the knowledge that what I would do could put criminals behind bars is a serious perk.

i'd like to be a trashman 
 
i think i'm qualified for this job because i've got the heart. ever since i was a little kid, i've always wanted to be one of those people coming around to pick up everyone's trash. i may not be strong enough to lift very heavy objects and throw them into the truck, and i may not be a very good driver that could safely drive around a large heavy-load trash truck, but if i believe i can do something, then i will. i will be the greatest trash man you've ever seen.

IN my town, we have been denied Bloomin' Onions due to Outback Steakhouse closing down and Chili's not making their imitation onion anymore. 
 
So my dream job is to start my own business selling Hot Wings and other sorts of appetizers. 
One of those appetizers would be a bloomin' onion. FINALLY bringing them back to my neck of the woods. 
 
I see success stories of people starting their own business on Travel Channel and Food Network and stuff, and i always say "I can do that too. i can be successful" 
 
Oh well, hopefully in the future when i have the money to start something. Start Small, Think Big.
