Quality Assurance Analyst Application

(using this for an application for creativity, please don't hate too much )

His time has finally come. He’s been in Gold his whole career, but always knew he was more than that. He dreamt of making it to the big time. He’s worked all the way up the ladder and now teeters on the brink of Challenger. His heart begins to race as he ques up for what could be his fifth and final promotional game. Que pops and on to champion select. He’s got first pick, and he goes with his main, the champ that got him this opportunity. He knew staying true to himself was the only way he could continue to be successful. He enters the rift, feeling confident; knowing he has what it takes to accomplish his goal, and he knows he cannot do it alone. He thrives in a team environment and wants success not only for himself, but for his peers. He brings an edge his teammates have not seen in long time. Drive. He’s driven to contribute in every way necessary to get the job done. Turns out he loses his promo’s decays due to excessive amounts of bug reporting on the boards and is now back in gold 2.

     My name is Rocco Zoccoli and I am from a small town north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I go by the summoner name of Swizzle. I am coming at you today to apply for the position of NA Quality Assurance Analyst. I really would like to take this opportunity as a chance to follow my gaming passion and dream.

     I know I can be a great Quality Assurance Analyst because I too, am a player who strives to keep the quality of league at top priority. I have spent many nights running custom games with 2 computers finding bugs after patches are pushed out and while they are still on the PBE. Many times when I find bugs and put them on the Boards, for more follow up I contact certain QA's on twitter who I would know deals with that type of bug. Naming a few; Kateykhaos for skin based bugs, Lovestrut for chroma based bugs and Ququroon for general bugs. I have been playing on Summoner’s Rift for over 5 years across 2 different accounts, with over 3100 normal games played and hundreds more ranked games.  I run a League of legends fan Instagram account that posts similar to surrenderat20.net. Every so often I ask the community for feedback on champions or mechanics that are newly implemented into the game, to get a feel for how the community views the changes. With this knowledge I try and relay a summary of this information to a QA that can make use of it.  

     Throughout my life I have learned to be organized, open-minded, and always positive. I know I have what it takes to be the perfect Player Management Coordinator. I am willing to put in the extra hours, continue to stay up into the incredibly late hours of the night and do what’s necessary to accomplish any goals set forth. If given any type of opportunity, I will not disappoint. Consider this an auto-lock in. Please don’t report me.

     I check the job postings at least once a week to try and find a position at Riot where I can really succeed. I didn’t go to school for video game design, or software engineering, so my choices are limited.

Please see my resume for more information of my past work experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. I can’t wait to speak with you about this chance of a lifetime

Sincerely, Rocco (Swizzle) Zoccoli
