How to Become a World of Warcraft Moderator

"World of Warcraft" is arguably the most popular and successful video game ever released. As such, it is no surprise that many of the game's millions of players would like to land a job working for Blizzard, the company behind the game. Aspiring players can become moderators for the game's online forum by working up the employment ladder in Blizzard or by applying directly for the position.

Instructions

  Visit Blizzard's employment website and search for openings in the moderator position. The best time to search for a job is just before, during, or after a game launch. When Blizzard's next project, "Diablo III," is released, Blizzard will likely be hiring new employees. Unfortunately, if there are no job openings for a moderator, you will have to wait until Blizzard posts an opening.

  Send Blizzard your resume using the online application form, including your qualifications as an online moderator and all of your game experience with "World of Warcraft" and the forums. If you have little or no experience as an online moderator, show Blizzard your online forum history.

If you can prove you hold these attributes, your chances of getting the job will improve.

  Write a compelling cover letter that expresses your passion, skill and devotion to the position of online moderator. The popularity of "World of Warcraft" means there are many applicants who are passionate about working for Blizzard. You need to make your cover letter stand out by saying something memorable about yourself. There is no perfect way to write a cover letter; just be sure your cover letter reflects your personality while displaying your qualifications.
