Nintendo Makes it Hard to Find a Job

Did you ever try looking for a job at Nintendo of America? If not, you might want to look into it because Nintendo surpassed Sony in market value today. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t make it easy for you to find the job you want. Take a look at this interface:

Job Search at Nintendo of America

Every time you enter a search term and hit “search,” the term is added along with the previous term (e.g. if you search for “usability” you will get one result, and if you then enter “research” and hit “search,” you will get 0 results since there are no jobs with both “usability” and “research” in the description). Most search engines work by only searching for words that are in the text field. This form breaks that de facto standard. To start a completely new search you have to hit the “New Search” button and then enter your new search term(s).

And, no, there are no usability jobs at Nintendo of America. Go figure.
