Tweeted I was looking for a job over Summer between Uni semesters. Had my interview on CoD4. Worked there over Summer.

They liked me enough they offered me an intership. Used it to build my dissertation project.

When I finished Uni I looked around at who was hiring. The guys I'd worked with offered more than anyone else and were working on some seriously cool projects compared to anyone else.

What's CoD4? (I may have rather stupidly assumed this is the fourth call of duty video game)

It was indeed, Modern Warfare. This was back in 2007 so it had just launched and when I mentioned maybe Skypeing we both found we already had headsets and played most nights anyway so we just set up a private chat and shot at each other.

Wow. This is the most unique setups I've heard. I did hear once about a person who got an internship at Facebook (if I recall correctly) over online in-game chat.
