How to get a Game Dev Job

Want to become a game developer?
📌 Then take action. There are no excuses in the world of game development.
📌 Build a portfolio by developing small demos and games in your free time. I've interviewed many developers and the individuals who are constantly learning and building small games always standout.
📌 Learn tech specifically for a type of job. Whether it's Unity, Unreal, Blender, or ZBrush, if you have experience with tech commonly used, you are now a good fit for the jobs requiring that tech.
📌 Perfect your resume. No resume is actually perfect, but the more time you put in revising and editing, the better it will get. Polish a base version of your resume and create variations for specific job applications.
📌 Build your linkedIn. This is a great resource to show off your skills and portfolio. But even better, is the ability to reach out to recruiters, hiring managers, and game dev professionals. The game dev world is constantly changing, which means jobs are always in flux; play the numbers and reach out to as many people as possible.
📌 Learn skills you're passionate about. Passion goes a long way, it can make resolving difficult bugs and late-night work sessions enjoyable. This passion will carry over into your work, portfolio, and job interviews.
