Session Name:

Game Career Seminar: How to Apply for an Indie Game Job

Overview:

Applying for indie game jobs can be different than for major studio jobs. The process can be less formal, and the jobs can be more expansive, bleeding into multiple disciplines as every developer may be wearing different hats. It's hard to make a mark as a job-seeker in general, but indie studios are a totally different beast where vibes can be as important as portfolio. Our panel features devs of various types who hire at various levels, who will discuss the best and worst of job applications they've seen while outlining some best practices for the prospective indie game hire.
