It's a toss up between Jurassic Park: The Game and my college course.

There's a lot in the OP regarding the business-side of the game's industry that is based off of factually incorrect information and biased assertions.
I'm a PC gamer. I have 612 games on Steam and many more on Origin, uPlay, Good Old Game and heaps of disc-based games. As someone who wants to exclusively develop games for the PC, even I know that the console market is far more important than you're giving credit to.
Obviously the OP is outdated (2014), but I hope nobody is going to take it completely seriously today. Every gamer should be entitled to weigh the choices and pick the system that works best for them, and we all know that the PC platform has its own fair share of problems that keep it from being perfect.

Just my rotten loving luck.
Went to sleep early and I was feeling completely fine then; woke up at 2AM in a lot of pain (enough for a few tears to come out and me to spasm around the bed cursing) above my left ankle. I can't see any lumps or redness but is loving hurts if I don't limp or put weight on it. Went back to sleep and it's still happening as of 5AM.
It's not going to stop me going to do the bloody interview, but that's so bullstuff that on the biggest and most important day of my life so far, my leg goes and pulls this bullstuff.

Something I forgot to mention; the job is Business-to-Business sales stuff.
It's not like going up to customers in a Target and selling them a laptop. An example of what this job is like would be; spending 6 weeks building a relationship with a mining company's CEO and their head-staff and then closing a $6M deal to sell them new mining equipment. We're talking extreme money and pressure here.

So, I completely finished college studies a couple weeks back. Now that I'm out, the focus has been to get me some work so I can pay to live while I try rectify all the non-learning I did during college so I can make decent games. To that end, I've been throwing out about 250+ resumes every week to every sales, IT and games job I could find.
For the past week, I had been receiving mystery calls at auspicious hours; since I was busy I could never pick up, and since I had no money to buy credit, I could never call back. Today, the mystery caller got lucky and rang me just as soon as I had gotten home from doing some shopping for my Dad's birthday.
Turns out I had sent off my new shiny resume to a V-E-R-Y large Australian company that prides itself on finding the best graduates and getting them work in marketing/sales areas. This company gets 500 resumes every week; I was one of the lucky 250 to get the phone interview.
Then, after a good 30 - 60 minute chat, I'm now one of the luck 25 who get to go to the "Education Day"; it's a day designed to let us meet face-to-face, get acquainted with the other 24 candidates, learn more about making a good CV and some team-building/management exercises, and then we give some speeches and get assessed on how well they went. For most candidates, they have weeks to prepare their speeches. I had this afternoon only, as it's tomorrow. I also had to arrange for a suit (apparently the big companies who hire people on the day are extremely picky about appearances), transport, and start thinking up possible questions and answers because apparently the in-person interviews are TOUGH.
I sent my draft to the guy handling my case; he said it was great, but a bit too long (I need to aim for 450 - 500 words for a 3 minute speech, but mine is sitting in at just over 600 words). I've been working quickly to trim the fat and compress it down; I've been told to forget memorising it; people with palm-cards or just a straight up script tend to do better.
According to the information I received, only 15 candidates of the 25 will get jobs (not all of the 15 get jobs on the day; you're placed into a 7-day waiting list period as they find an appropriate client for you). The good news is that this work is full-time, paying between $50,000 to $120,000 a year, and you're expected to gain promotions VERY quickly. As you might imagine, I'm stuffting myself. I want this badly.
Some of the clients they have work for include LEGO, Microsoft, Newscorp, Dell and so forth.
Wish me luck.
