You would have to contact and apply for them.

You technically can't work as an official employee since you're 14 but you could probably work as a paid intern.

Well, legal age to work in Canada is 14, so there may be ways that it could work. Not sure if it's specific for Canadian citizens, or just working in the country.

I hope you're prepared to give up your soul, and go through the sacred ritual

Mmm... difficult.

A: You're less than 16, could be tricky

B: I'm not sure they're hiring

C: If you want the mighty Linus to read this, tag him (@LinusTech) or PM him

I agree, though, it'd be fun. He wouldn't even have to pay me :P

Honeslty your best chance is going to at least go through some entry level schooling in video editing or some other skill they would find usefull (marketing?) and make a Resume before you even think about asking.

 

you might have a better chance at getting an intern position. legally I don't think they could hire because your really young and not a Canadian citizen.

You need to send them a business email to have any chance to get an answer...

 

Also, I would bet there are hundreds of people on this very forum who would gladly work for them, some even for free or a very low pay, and have much higher qualifications than you possibly could at 14 (no offence). They can't employ everyone and the ones they do employ must be the best.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

1) thats not how you apply to a job

 

2) no you need to live here to work for himm, and hes not paying for your plane ticket and housing

 

3) YOU cant even pay for your plane ticket and housing lol

 

4) Linus will not read this, the forum is  not a good way to contact him

 

5) Contact the company, LMG, not the public forum

 

6) There are plenty of people here in vancouver who are better than yo at pretty much everything, so youre definitely not going to be considered

 

7) TL;DR: No, you dont get the job.

1. Wait 4 years

2. Learn something that will actually aid the company (editing, video production, etc)

3. Be an adult

Only if it's a family business, otherwise it's 16.

No legally he can work even at corps but corps have policy not to hire till 16. So while it is very hard to get a job under 16 you can. Best way to make money in Canada when you are under 16 is shoveling snow in the winter, easy $150 a week.

Even McDonald's wouldn't hire you if this was your application. Sorry bud.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

This is the hard truth it might sound mean but LMG just isn't big enough to outsource everyone on the forum who wants to work for them.

But don't let that discourage you there are plenty of opportunities for you. i started working at 12 (under the table) so did logan from tek syndicate 

I  have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.
