I've just finished my biggest job hunting push ever. Despite COVID, the games industry is still hiring producers with 4-6+ years experience. I can't say much about my new role as an internal producer helping build a new team up from scratch. So I want to talk about job hunting...
Previously, I've never had the luxury to decline any job I've been offered. I've always had to take whatever was given, even if it wasn't going to help me go in a direction I wanted my career to go. This time I had to think about what I actually wanted and where I wanted to go.
It's been strangely liberating and frustrating. Hopefully others are interested in my experiences. I'm going to share some thoughts for both candidates and interviewers! Given this is my first big job hunting push please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I'm no expert.
I'm going to group advice into advice for candidates and advice I'd love to give to companies/interviewers. So I'm going to do a few tweet threads and bring them all back to this thread when I'm done.
