Navigating the Modern Video Games Industry Job Market

The video games industry has seen significant layoffs, with over 8,000 job losses reported so far this year. Recently, both PlayStation and EA announced job cuts and project cancellations, resulting in over 1,500 redundancies and potential studio closures. While job opportunities exist, the competition is intense due to the high number of job seekers. To support those affected, we have partnered with UK recruitment specialist Amiqus to create a series of videos offering advice on job applications, CVs, cover letters, portfolios, and interview techniques. Amiqus' principal consultant, Alan Dixon, shares his expertise in these videos, covering topics such as LinkedIn self-promotion and interview preparation. Although Amiqus is a UK-based agency, the advice provided is relevant to job seekers worldwide. The video series includes: Finding a Job in the Video Games Industry, Succeeding at a Video Games Job Interview, and What to Do After a Video Games Job Interview. These videos are available to watch on YouTube.
