Dear Ms. Torres,

As a passionate game designer with 5+ years of experience driving vision and implementation of popular game systems, I was excited to see the opening for a Hearthstone designer at Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard creates the most epic entertainment experiences bar none. You’re seeking a game designer for Hearthstone to flesh out world-building and enhance card game mechanics. You need someone who can create compelling missions, understand Hearthstone design principles, and enhance storytelling through new card names, concepts, voiceover, and characters. I think you’ll like my resume.

As a game designer at Rockstar Games, I developed ideas for gameplay, and expanded existing systems, working on 5 AAA released game titles, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and L.A. Noire. I fleshed out 25 in-game areas, including two card games and 11 in-game missions, two of which received Rockstar’s internal “Mission of the Year” award. I created 200+ voiceover clips and developed 35 popular new characters.

You may also be interested to know that for a personal project, I wrote up Ben Thompson’s The Art of Hearthstone talk at GDC in 2016 for an article for Joystiq that got 20,000 page views. I’m a big fan of Hearthstone and I’ve used its design concepts for years to inform my work.

Working at Blizzard Entertainment would be a dream come true. I’ve played your games for years, and based on what I’ve read about your culture and offices on Glassdoor, working for you would help me grow my skills in a superior work environment. Could we choose a time next week to talk about how my skills in Python, Maya, and game design can help meet Blizzard’s goal of fleshing out the world of Hearthstone?

Best regards,

Donald Robertson

Game Designer

2. Build a professional Blizzard cover letter header

  • First write your full name and job title.
  • Next, add your physical address, phone number, email, and LinkedIn.
  • Add a blank, line, then the date and another blank line.
  • Last, write the recruiter’s name, job title, and Blizzard’s name and address.
  • Make your cover letter heading look just like your resume heading.

3. Write an attention-grabbing first paragraph

  • Begin your letter with, “Dear [Recruiter Name],”, never use “To Whom It May Concern”. If you can't find the hiring manager's name, it's OK to use Dear Hiring Manager.
  • Tell them which job you’re applying for.
  • Say what you love about Blizzard. We used their mission statement in our example.
  • Show you read their job description by restating what they asked for.

4. Share your best resume achievements in the second paragraph

  • Compare your resume to the Blizzard job description.
  • Mention your top 2–3 resume achievements that show you have the right skills.
  • Include some numbers for scale.

5. Explain how Blizzard will help your career

  • Think about why working at Blizzard would be good for you.
  • Share that to prove you won’t get bored and quit if things get tough.
  • You can talk about their great people, office, or other Blizzard perks.

You can apply on LinkedIn or Monster, but your application will get more play if you apply right on Blizzard’s jobs page.

6. End your Blizzard cover letter with an offer

  • In your last paragraph, ask for the interview.
  • Add a few more of the skills they’re looking for.
  • Reiterate their goal for the position.

7. Add a professional sign-off to the end

  • Close with, “Best regards,”.
  • Include a written signature (digitized) for extra wow-factor.
  • At the end, repeat your name, job title, email address, and phone.
  • How should you name your cover letter file? "Cover_Letter_Your_Name" should do the trick.
