Game Career Seminar: The Resilient Job Hunt: Addressing the "Well of Doubts"

Overview:

With a diploma in one hand and your polished resume in the other, a new quest starts to find the first job in the industry. New job hunters set forth to secure their first industry gig. The trek to enter game development is intimidating, especially for those who are seeking employment in foreign countries or feel uncomfortable at networking events. The job search is often a time of doubt and concern, as one wonders things like "Is it me?" Learn how other developers remained resilient and overcame barriers. This panel brings together a diverse group of developers to demystify the hiring process, with special attention towards navigating the process for international applicants, women, and underrepresented minorities. Hear both general and discipline-specific job-search advice, and learn the panelists' unique stories on how they broke into the industry.
