Are you a woman, graduating from a Games or Interactive related course in 2020??
Well, in celebration of International Woman's Day 2020 and their official tag line #EachForEqual, we want to offer final year female & female-identifying students an opportunity to have their CV and/or portfolios reviewed by our very own games team giving you the best possible head start in the industry.
What do you need to do?
- Read this blog on writing the ideal CV for the games industry
- Polish up your portfolio & CV - remember to be creative!
- Email your portfolio or CV to Graduates@Skillsearch.com by Friday, March 27th, 2020
- make sure you put "IWD CV Review" in the subject line so we can find it
- Please also include within the email: Name; DOB; Name of your University and tutor; Name of course and graduation date; Twitter or Instagram profile (so we can tag any winners)
- Terms and conditions apply* please check these carefully.
What's in it for you?
- We'll offer feedback & advice on your CV and portfolio ready to help you hit the ground running when you graduate this summer
- We'll answer any questions you may have about entering the studio system and how to tackle it
- We'll give you access to our Graduate page where you'll find helpful hints and tips, FAQ's PLUS any junior/grad jobs when we get them
- There may even be a little prize for the most original, and unusual CV/Portfolio!
What's in it for us?
Well, our most recent Salary and Satisfaction Survey showed that the games industry is made up of 85% of people identifying as men and only 12% identifying as women and quite frankly that's a bit depressing! So we're doing our bit to try and help the games industry be a bit more diverse in the coming years.
Unfortunately, studios don't tend to use recruiters that often for junior/graduate jobs so this is our way of helping out where we can, and maybe later down the line in your career, we'll be able to help you secure your second or third role?!
Got any questions about your submission? Please email az@skillsearch.com who will be able to help.
