Comments on: Game Programming Interviews and Tests: Entry Level Edition I found that the interview process is dependant upon the company you apply for, some emailed a test back others did a phone interview, while others did everything on site. What a company looks at is also dependant on the company and who you email for the job. If you email a HR person it is possible that the programmers that see your CV won't even see you cover email or portfolio. So looking good on paper defenitly helps in those cases. At least those were my experiences when I was applying for a job.
