...Generates Surprising Response

Quote

When Nintendo advertised a bounty hunter position on Monster.com, they never expected the 90+ serious applications they would receive from ex-military and other frightening backgrounds. We spoke with Nintendo's Beth Llewelyn about the viral campaign, and the unexpected response it generated.

I would have loved to see the resumes!!

Do you thrive on danger? Do you want to see exotic places? Do you like the excitement of third world countries? If so... Clicky!

yeah, me too... It seems like once a month I read in the paper about some poor schmoe getting his ass zapped working for them. No amount of money is worth it.

Those four contractors who were burned and hung from the bridge in Iraq worked for Blackwater.

I worked with people trained by Blackwater. They were very good at what they did.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

No doubt.........I was warned that working for Blackwater can be very hazardous to your health. I also heard a recent report that they were great to work for. Both people reporting have RATHER impressive resumes. *Shrug*

Lemme guess Clay, you're now employed by Blackwater? You've given hints about working in the region and having to go to training before hand. Let's hear the story from you.

Triple Canopy is another one to look at if you're interested in this type of work.

These companies pay real good. A former spec ops type working in a hot zone in Iraq can bring in over $1000 per day.

Oddly enough, there an odd trend with mercs and international relief orgs. The IRO's have realized that private military companies can get into a hot zone faster and cheaper than the UN. They are also serving as security at relief camps and such. Which makes since since the Red Cross lost more personnel to hostile fire than most major militaries during the 1990's.

There anychance of getting a job with any of those companies without any military or police experience? I wanted to join the military but was unable to get any of the jobs I wanted because I am slightly color blind, and this seems like a great alternative.
