I can imagine the hiring of a creative director on such a colossal project is either done from within or has nepotism factored in start low on the ladder and climb up like all of us

How much experience do you have? Do you have a college degree in the proper field?

Those may contribute to your rejection.

Anyways, if you have serious aspirations at being a game designer (or being involved in making video games at all), your two avenues are through the arts (being a writer or artist) or being a programmer.

A lead art position isnt as big as a creative director. And while there are always exceptions, companies wouldnt trust a newbie to lead a AAA game, ever.

work your way in from the bottom thats all im going to say if you want to get in the industry, not to mention they will be looking for previous work on AAA titles for the creative director role and programmer they will probably want a computing science degree and experience of working in a developement house environment.

I applied for Beta tester and got through to the interview stages, and was turned down but its all part of life i thought meh why not i stay close to the studio i'll fire in an application its a foot in the door for this industry and a job you can say well i was part of that.

All im saying is go in ground level, dont apply for big jobs like creative director, and get your head in and around uni.

A company like that would get so many applicants. If you want to stand a chance you'll need to show them some of your work and it would have to be very impressive. A piece of paper with your education/work history isn't going to cut it.

We don't even know your background or relevant skill set. For all we know, you could be a high school drop out randomly applying without knowing anything about the job. More information about yourself would be useful.

Next time: Make sure your application is correct in terms of grammar, punctuation and spelling. You seem to have trouble with that. Seriously, though. If an application form is full of lingual errors it usually goes through the shredder without it being analyzed any further.

Also, If you want to be a creative director you better start studying immediately.
