How old are you btw? Blizzard aim for mid 20s, not sure why. Suppose it's to do with experience.
Write it yourself, they want to know about you, not some bullcrap to try to impress them. No one here knows you that well, infact no one in the world no knows you better than yourself. Be truthful.

This is a no experience needed job, other than they want to see how well you can communicated. It's a temp job. I am 19.

Your mind seems to be all over the place...like a hyperactive kid.
A list of what I believe were your past career aims:
- Pro hockey player
- Guitarist
- Airline pilot
- Something to do with making video games/films?
And now you want to do this and are asking us for help?
I would personally advise that you just finish school or whatever and then start seriously looking for a job which matches your skills set...

I said that earlier.
Obviously I shouldn't ask for help here because it seems everyone here is to put you down, whether you think its helpful or not. Thanks guys.
Also, Bean, I AM a guitarist, so I don't know what you're trying to prove there. I've owned many guitars and played for many years. As for being in a band, I have been in one, obviously nothing big, but I have been in a band that has played local gigs. The hockey thing was stupid, yes. Airline pilot is too expensive for me to get to, at least in America.
I've been into how movies have been made for a good 15 years of my life. That includes, filming, acting, stunts, set design, etc. Don't think because of what I post here, that is what I am limited to.

Have you tried looking at samples of how others have written analysis for that (or other similar) company (-ies)?

You'll probably need to be comparing this "updated" software code with the previous version, inspecting network connectivity, etc... I'm positive that Blizzard, one of the single most profitable online game companies tendered toward teenagers, is well aware of the presence of teenagers, and adults, who 1) want money, and 2) don't want to do much work to get it.
Quite honestly, "quality assurance" positions in any company are a steal, I mean you just sit behind a desk or an assembly line, make sure the product works, and send it down to packaging. But I'm sure you'll need some sort of computer training for this particular position at Blizzard.
And I see you're in L.A.? You may want to consider an internship at Apple.

And if it's too hard or not what he thought it would be, I don't think he's got much to lose. If he gets in and it's not what he thought, worse that can happen is that they throw him back out and he now knows more about what work at Blizzard is like, so I'd go for it.
But yes I don't think working at Blizzard means you get paid to play WoW. If you do it wouldn't be with your own characters, getting to level up.
