Job hunting games

So walk with me, because now I will show you some tips so you can win at job hunting, get a new position and use all your money to buy those triple-A releases you are always dreaming of. One of the most frustrating situations in job hunting is applying to dozens of game jobs that match your professional experience as if it were your soulmate, and you never get a response or even an email rejecting your application. One of the reasons why you never get an answer is because you sent your resume too late.

Early applying to a vacancy is one of the most practical ways to hear from the recruiter before their inbox is drowning in the noise of other resumes. This is especially true when you apply to jobs mediated through a website, such as Gamesmith. Make sure to enable browser or mobile notifications, check Gamesmith jobs daily, and have your up-to-date resume and your Gamesmith profile fully complete and verified by your peers and of course, ready to tweak if necessary.

Finally, watch out for Gamesmith job alert emails. These match your job title to the hot jobs being released on Gamesmith. Make sure you immediately respond to these alerts to stay at the front of the crowd.

Remember: the early bird gets the worm. Another reason is that your email subject line or cover letter is not tailored to the specific job. And on the other hand, it could simply mean that you were too ambitious or your skills do not directly match the requirements of the job. So, no matter how driven and hard-working you are, it will not cover your lack of skills or desired courses and experiences. At least you know that the means of submission are correct and that your resume is not lost in the vastness of nothingness.

While hearing unpleasant views about your objective or the formatting of your resume can be demoralizing in the short run, it will definitely be beneficial in the long term. But there are some pointers for you to receive an answer and, hopefully, the long-dreamed-of interview. Most of them involve breaking out of your comfort lonely zone and interacting with people, the notorious networking. When I worked for an IT company, the HR director said that the candidates who got her most attention were those who called the company or tried another form of contact beyond just applying.

A potential applicant showing further interest was enough for the director to know his name prior to browsing the flood in her inbox and carefully searching for the one whose name she knew.

A simple gesture that made all the difference. They have to choose a good professional to join the workforce, and what screams committed than a proactive person who goes after what they want?
