The day has finally come, do not adjust your computer/phone screens, you could be just a few clicks away from turning that outrageous addiction into a nice little earner, get paid to play football manager. Sports interactive, the makers of the amazing Championship manager/football manager games are looking for new people to join their team.
We know of a few Irish related staff in their HQ already, so obviously they like the Irish connection, now it's up to you to get the best cover letter and CV together, plotting your ability to mould team spirit amongst a team of money mad foreign mercenaries, run a mid table premiership club while guiding the Republic of Ireland into the playoffs for Euro 2016.
The job spec is pretty vague but nonetheless exciting.
Sports Interactive (SI), is based in the heart of Silicon Roundabout in London and is the world’s leading developer of football management simulations through its Football Manager series of games.
We’re looking to sign up players for our squad who are either experienced pros or incredibly talented and hungry for success to help all of the games that we’re working on in what will be our 20th year of releasing games. Do you have what it takes to be a part of the team and make a difference?
Head honcho at SIGames Miles Jacobson has some advice for budding applicants.
If you're applying for the open positions @si_games ensure you include a covering letter/mail & a CV, or your application will be ignored.

In other words "Hello - I want a job" with no further information is not a good way to apply for a role in our studio :)

Might be an idea to get some insight from how Martin O'Neill/Roy Keane are expected to get on
