Talk with a recruiter who has worked for dozens of game development studios over the years and has help brand people so they effectively get hiring for the role of their choosing
The video game development industry is filled with some of the most passionate, creative and hard-working individuals. Most people have played a video game during their lifetime and for some that first game play has turned into a life-long goal to make video games and make a living out of that passion. The problem is that the game development industry is very competitive and to “make it” you are going to need to work hard, know the right people and be involved in the best projects, etc.
Paxton has recruited for dozens of game development studios over the years and has help brand people so they effectively get hiring for the role of their choosing. Paxton will discuss how people can brand themselves, navigate different studios, what to expect during the interview process, how to get your foot in the door, how a resume should look, some tools/resources to get interviews, etc.
