Their corporate location is Los Angeles, CA which means it's still March 31st. So, I'm pretty sure it's legitimate 
|
Alrighty then, i do agree that this would be a sweet job, I am not suite myself for such a spot, but i am sure that someone here will be the right guy. Good luck at finding him/her!

A job that requires full-time work and relocation with no salary estimate whatsoever? What? Are you serious?
|
Very interesting post to see, I've stopped by the Tt booth at PAX East and their prominence within the eSports community has really shown in the past year, from being the title sponsor of a TeSL team as well as American teams like Check6 gaming.

Why would they have to mention salary? Obviously the full-time position will have a salary that is enough to live off of.

Man looks really awesome. I used to live right near the Tt building in LA, its right in City of Industry if I remember correctly. Anyone in Pasadena, Whittier, Hacienda Heights, Diamond Bar etc. should apply if they feel like they fit the criteria
|
Go Tt eSports! They're definitely super awesome :D

Yes this is real, its March 31st not April 1st. If you are interested apply in the fashion mentioned in the OP.

Don't steal our moderators! 
|
I'll never get that job T.T
|
It's not a joke, its a real job, and very much intriguing.
|
I sent my resume I PRAY i can get this job. I really really really really hope.

I'd apply if I wasn't in college :D

I applied, but I doubt I'll get it since I have no experience in the industry. Still, gotta try!
|
Application submitted. Only thing I have going for me is a passion for the games listed, especially Starcraft 2, and extensive knowledge of them all. And location, I live in Southern California already. =/. Hope it works out, if so this is like, a dream come true and couldn't have come at a better time in my life. Now to try to sleep and ignore this, lol so I am not too devastated when someone more qualified gets the position. hahha... =(.
Lol but seriously, fingers crossed...but im not exactly giving up all of my other dreams/ideas/aspirations till I hear back.
i really hope this is legit and some1 didnt just troll a resume out of me... ugh april fools day sucks lol it has made me soooooo paranoid of every TL thread..even the sponsored threads.
|
|
|
This sounds really cool. If I had time and was anywhere near this I'd apply!
|
best of luck to the applicants, this sounds like a dream job for e-sports!
|
wow this is so awesome! good luck to everyone that applies!!!

You could potentially move to California. You can not ask them to cover your relocation fees from Argentina (unless your resume is ridiculously good), but I am sure they would help you with your visa papers if you got the job and offered to cover the relocation fees yourself.
Trust me, california is an AWESOME place to live and that job would be sick.You should definitely give it a go, I have seen you in other forums and I think you are pretty good.
|
I wish I could apply for this. Totally would if it didn't require a relocation.
GL to those who apply; sounds like a great gig!
|
Sent in my application, yeah I live far away but would defo move to California if I got the job
|
I wonder what the salary pay is. If its decent id be happy to apply myself.
|
Amazing how this is attractive to people. I applied to a similar job locally several month ago, it was the same social/community marketing position. I got lured in by a relatively very high wage, but after 10 minutes into the interview I wanted to take off and sprint away.
|
Awesome opportunity, these social media coordinator positions are looking like the future of marketing. Really cool to see the TL sponsored threads being used for stuff like this, would love to see TL become a ESPORTS hiring resource.

I put in one. I think that I have some quite reasonable qualifications for it, and am from California. Just have to wait to see if they do a round of interviews now.
|
we're going to be trying to work as quickly as we can, as you can imagine we've received a lot of interest
|
Good to hear snatcch. I'll be keeping up to date for sure.

hrm, interesting, i might put in an app...

Damn. I'd sure apply for this if I didn't live 6000 freakin' miles south...
|
Am I the only one who noticed that the only words/letters in the first pic spell out TTOne? Sounds like an elaborate scheme to recruit him.
And if TT1 actually was part of the team would he be TtTT1?
|
"Company may be able to offer to cover relocation cost."
How far will you go? ;D
Living in Los Angelese and working with e-sports sounds pretty amazing! (read in Artosis voice)
I guess that's the place to be at the moment.
|
I'm sure they're just looking for whoever they see is most qualified or fits the best into the position.
|
I hope a TLer gets it. Please let us know how it is!
|
That is such an AMAZING job TT_TT
I wish I knew more of the gaming titles in depth~ I would apply right away.
Social media & community guru *___* dream job. Especially for gaming. Haha.
|
I applied : ) When will the applicants hear anything back?
|
I'll be sending in something tomorrow. Is there a cutoff for this? I need to put some things in order for the cover letter.
|
*Thermaltake Technology North America HQ is based in Los Angeles, CA. Company may be able to offer to cover relocation cost.
this means that for foreigners is quite impossible to get the job right ?
I'm from Chile and I highly doubt they would transfer me to there lol :D.
|
If I wasn't so balls deep in school, I'd do something like this. Good luck to all who apply.

I'm sure this is a long process seeing as they're trying to find the best applicants and it also depends on how fast they need to fill this position really.
|
it's not a long long time as this position will be filled within April
|
Is there a preference in age? Are you looking for someone who is over 20 etc?
|
Sent! I really hope we get to see someone from TL get the job.
|
Will send an application when I get home for sure!

Wow! This sounds like an amazing opportunity. I think it's a genius idea to put it on a forum like this, where the posters are your core consumer audience. Sending my application today. Hope to hear back!
|
interesting opportunity! sent an email.
|
CV/Resume sent in, hopefully will hear back soon .
Will applicants receive word if they are not selected?
|
Would apply if I were more active in forums lately :3 considering I have extensive knowledge of all those games except HoN and meet the other requirements.
|
I sent in my resume Sounds like a pretty amazing gig. I have a Thermaltake power supply and it hasn't failed me yet, after about 14 months of my computer being on almost 100% of the time.
Good luck to everyone who applied!

Hope my forum and tourny help/casting/streaming involvement is actually worth something.

Out of topic: I really like the logo and the name "Thermaltake", and i can be pretty anal about both of these things. Kuddos for that, and good luck growing, improving and branding the company.

I'm completely under qualified(still in college lol) but i still felt the need to make an application, I knew i wouldnt get it so i didnt even bother sending it in :-p but i did make this. XD

Just want to say it's awesome to see a company pool target consumers (and an amazing community) to find someone for the job, GL to all applicants hope you dont get gg'd.

Applied
To everyone out there who thinks they're not qualified, apply anyways you never know what may happen, maybe you won't get this job, maybe they'll need someone later down the road. You never know.
Best of luck to everyone.
|
glhf to the rest of you whose jaws dropped when they saw this post come up. Finally got home today, and this was immediately priority 1. Regardless of the end outcome, it's great to see things like this open up, and it's even better to see them posted on community-driven sites such as TL. I'm just happy that the interest is really there for companies to embrace the esports revolution, and opening this up to community members is exactly the way to start building that incredibly important trust/relationship.
|
This looks like an amazing opportunity for an e-sports aficionado and web savvy professional. I just applied myself after taking a few days to tweak my portfolio. So excited!
HF GL to all!
