   Relevance of Work Experience
  Hey guys,I''m looking applying for internships in the gaming industry.Last summer I had an internship with the software engineering department of the department of defense. I was wondering how relevant the companies I am applying to will find this experience...It had nothing to do with games, but obviously had to do with software design and management, so I think it should help, but not so positive....Any thoughts? 
  If its an unpaid internship, I can''t see how they would care, as long as you know your programming.   ;  No, it''s a paid internship...with Electronic Arts ;  It is very important, nobody cares whether you were paid or not, they want to see that you worked and were consistent, they want to see that you can be relied upon.Internships are very important, get as much as you can under your belt before you leave school. ;  Accent the points of that you have worked on a professional project and with a team.  Bring up any facts dealing with completed projects, or software engineering practices used while working there.  This includes dealing with clients (your boss), specification making, or just coding and problem solving.They won''t care so much about where you worked, but rather what you did, and how you view it.
