Hi all, just to give a brief update, I am still actively continuing my application process and I'm deeply grateful (forever grateful 💖) for the valuable recommendations I've received. I also wanted spread positivity and helpful tips I have learned on this journey. I don't believe in gate keeping because we are all in this together. Here are some resources that have helped me in this new world of job search. Gaming industry leads: - https://hitmarker.net/jobs - https://gracklehq.com/jobs Interview prep: All free - You can copy and paste the job description here: (FREE) * https://interviewsby.ai/ - Randomized Interview questions: (FREE) * https://lnkd.in/gZqnMRcE - Chat GPT (FREE, CREATE AN ACCOUNT) * Prompt: Can you create 5-10 interview questions based on this job description (copy and paste job description) * https://chat.openai.com/ - You can copy and paste all interview questions and answers you were given above and practice: (FREE, CREATE AN ACCOUNT) * https://quizlet.com/ Resume assistance prompts utilizing Chat GPT: - Based on my resume, what industries does it qualify me for? - Rate my resume's suitability for a role on a scale of 1-10, along with missing elements: role: (paste job description) resume: (paste your resume) - Could you please provide me with 5-10 transferable skills from (paste your resume) to (paste job description to what you are applying for) Advice that has been passed down: - Review job descriptions of other companies see what they are looking for and try to gain that skill or add it to your resume if it aligns with your experience. - For every qualification on the job description write 2-3 examples of what you have done for that specific duty - Don’t disqualify yourself! - Don’t be afraid to start over - Whoever this has happened to have gone on to greater things. Always ending with a Taylor Swift quote: “Take the moment and taste it, you got no reason to be afraid ” Good luck out there! 🤞

A LinkedIn “hack” for jobseekers: Reach out to all the people who are getting new jobs and ask them how they did it. How? Here’s how: - Go to the LinkedIn search bar and type in ‘Starting a new position’ - Click on ‘Posts’ Voilà. You can filter by 1st/2nd/3rd level connections, you can filter by date posted, you can filter by industry, you can filter by title. If you don’t know what to write, try something like this: “Hi [name]. Congrats on the new [x] role! That’s amazing. I’m on the job hunt myself. Do you have a few words of wisdom for me on how you got your new role? No rush to reply, would love to hear from you.” I imagine a good amount of these people would be happy to hear from you. After all, when you get your new job you’ll be happy to share your hard-earned wisdom with others, right? Maybe these people did something you haven’t thought of. Maybe they did something you’ve resisted doing but you know deep down might work. Maybe they did everything you’re doing and you can feel confident that, for you, it’s simply a matter of time. #jobsearchstrategies #jobseekers #howtogetanewjob

#NarrativeDesignTip In a previous post, I showed what a "mapped out" Narrative & Designed Level could look like (see post here: https://lnkd.in/g3qzFTFR ) As I mentioned in that post, it is essential that you continually design your levels on "paper" before starting in the game engine. It can look like a map (as in the previous post), or it can look like a Gameplay FLOW Layout (image below). Here is an example of a first draft (very) of a Gameplay FLOW Layout for the first level of an unannounced Platform-Shooting game. In the Gameplay FLOW Layout, you should lay out the order and approximate length of the key Gameplay Sequences: - Cut Scenes - Dialogue - Tutorials - Combat/Action - Exploration/Puzzle -Boss Battles As well as where and when Rewards/Treasure Boxes, Hidden Features, and Large Drops of In-Game Shards/Gems/Cards will be found. - Gameplay Sequence Sections should be clearly labeled/color coordinated and numbered to ensure more precise communication with your teams. *Note: None of this is industry standard and many games/studios/teams don't do this or require this. But, I tend to do this so I can clearly see the flow, breakdowns, lengths, and order of a level's key points (I also map them out in map form as well). **Be sure to FOLLOW or CONNECT with me for more NARRATIVE DESIGN or GAME DESIGN Tips.
