Prao

[GameGabster]

I do not know if this is relevant to anybody out there but I would like to let everybody know that after having messaged Kallocain (awesome book btw), she told me that Paradox Interactive offers PRAO (Praktisk Arebetslivsorientering) for people that are interested. Even though it was not possible to receive me there between the dates I asked for, I wanted to let everybody know.

PRAO? What is Pratisk Arebetslivsorientering?

Assuming it's Swedish, from my woeful knowledge of German (like English, a Germanic language) I would guess that it meant ... practical work orienteering...

Er... Work experience, I'd guess.

When you "praoar" (as we call doing PRAO work in Sweden), you work for free. It's usually for people between 13 to 16 years old. I've had friends who gotten a bag of chips or something edible when they did PRAO work at a bakery, a grocery store or somewhere similar.

For those slightly older there's also the options of internships: http://www.paradoxplaza.com/Corporate/Internships
Unfortunately, we don't have the capacity to receive interns from abroad, as there is a lot of administration, housing etc involved with that.

Kind regards

Well... I'm willing to do PRAO work... but I live in America, so if your willing to send the jet back and forth, you will get your drink Johan!

I heard this first while playing Magicka. But yeah, I didn't know what it was.

I'm sixteen, let's do this. I'll fetch you drinks, massage you and all that man servant stuff!

But yeah, while Prao at Paradox would be cool beans, you'd be a bit too far away from me anyway, as I assume you guys are at Stockholm, heh.

Also, PRAO is simply a work experience which you get at 8th grade(some schools also have 9th grade) where you go out for 1-2 weeks to work at other places. Such as stores and what not. But from my understanding not all countries actually have this.

Haha, I wish I could have done that. It would have been an honor.

Cupbearer is one of the most prestigious honorary titles one can have.
