Interview techniques.
In a interview you are certain to be asked specific questions about the company, so make sure you've done your homework on things, like their last year's profits and latest product launches. Also take a look at the latest developments in the industry so you can converse with confidence this gives you the impression that you are very passionate about the company to want to join a employer it looking for some who both can and wants the job . Although there is no set format that every job interview will follow, there are some questions that you can almost guarantee will crop up. You should prepare answers to some of the most common interview questions about your personal strengths and weaknesses, as well as being able to explain why you would be the best person for the job.
you are often judged before you've even uttered a word. Make sure your shoes are polished, your clothes fit correctly and that your accessories are subtle. Dressing one level above the job you're applying for shows a desire to succeed.
Good preparation is the key to staying in control. Plan your route, allowing extra time for any unexpected delays and get everything you need to take with you ready the night before. Remember to speak clearly
You should always have some questions for your interviewer to demonstrate your interest in the position. Prepare a minimum of five questions, some which will give you more information about the job and some which delve deeper into the culture and goals of the company.
interview skills are very important when both finding a job by pitching your abilities and why you'd want this job first impressions are key when going for a job interview. These skills as also useful if you need to conduct interviews of your own. Also these skills are also useful when speaking in front of audiences when for example you are presenting something. In a modern job environment it sometimes isn't enough just to do your job which is why these interview skills make it easier to get into a profession.
Interview related to the games industry interview skills are as important as any other profession, in the games industry you demonstrate your abilities and skills as well as your experience by constructing portfolios for your potential employer to review. They need to look interesting and well structured that demonstrates your best work also a short film reel can be used showing a slide show or time lapsed of work you have done on other jobs. In a interview you need to show your the best possible person for the job otherwise they would employ someone else that demonstrate superior skills. Because of this it is important to be to be able to understand these skills in order to get successfully employed within my chosen industry. Goals for me in order to achieve these skills would be to set up a portfolio and to maintain and update it consistently with work that is relevant to the particular area of the games industry for example if I was to apply for a 3d modeller the majority of my portfolio should show my 3d modelling skills as well as my development work yet still showing I am capable of other skills.
Interviews typically follow the same pattern where you would be asked why you would want this job and do you require the skills necessary to do that job better than other potential employees. their is also s small degree of small talk in order to break the ice so the interview goes smoother for both sides. The interviewer might also get to know you better to see if your compatible on a social level as well as a professional one.
Good signs that a interview is going well is you are getting along with the interviewer their isn't much tension in the room and it almost becomes a conversation rather than a formal interview
Presentation skills.
Presentation skills are important because it is no longer to just to do the job quota especially in the games industry you will need to present work to potential buyers or backers as well as pitching ideas to potential employers. Presentation skills are practically a unnecessary in order to become successful in this industry.
Skills that are related to having good presentation skills is keeping a camp and composed attitude to your not frantic and their fore rushing, body language is also important because it shows the audience that you are confident in your work and this therefore reflects hoe they see your work, Organised work having messed up work that isn't ordered and docent reflects your work as a hole having good presentation skills is just as important as having finish work at a high quality, these skills are very significant to the game industry because as said before it is only half the job to complete the work you need to be able to pitch ideas to potential buyers or employers also these skills are usefully when your teaching in the gaming industry in order to pass along information and knowledge to students successfully, In terms of my own presentation skills in think there is much margin for improvement I need to work on my actual presenting skills rather than my organisation for example overcoming my self esteem issues so I am able to conformable talking out loud to large amounts of people also my verbal communication I find that I quickly start stuttering and talking very quietly and quickly I should teach my self to slow down my talking pace to I'm more clear and therefore appear more confident. in the future I should practise my presentation skills so i successfully am consistent with those skills so I am not lacking in a area of a presentation such as my body language or engaging with the audience also for improvement I should be self evaluating my skills to see if I need to work on them.
What I would want to do within the gaming industry
When I finish collage and or university I would not imminently launch myself into a full committed career I would first assess my self what my abilities are my strength and weaknesses are how they can benefit me. I would then see out freelance work for small business nothing that would be easy and would not require too much stress I would also this so I can begin easing myself into the industry I want to pursuer. Doing this will also enable me to gather a portfolio of work as well as acquiring contacts within the industry and building my reputation and most importantly acquire more skills and abilities in regards to now these skills are quite low but with practise as well as further education these skills can be made into an profession also just as important as skill is experience will be usefully when acquiring the higher paying jobs because being experiences give you a greater aura of professionalism that interests potential employers to a point where I am comfortable and is most convenient to begin a career job which would give me added benefits in later life such as job security, a pension and a more stable and steady income. in regards startling a company for my self I would not rule it out however if I were to consider this derision I would have to find help starting a company by yourself would be impractical. What I would not see my self doing would be teaching I feel that this would not be the right path for me because being a teacher would utilise not all of my best abilities but this is not enough to rule out the possibility but if given the choice I would prefer to preferred a career where I would be doing game design whereas as a teacher I would be teaching. this career plan is not set in stone it is forever changing and adapting in regards to how it plays out along the way.
In terms of goals and ambitions I would want to achieve I am unsure in the future I want to be apart of a team that would eventually create a game that is ultimately successful and highly praised their is no particular role within the game industry i want however i do want to ultimately have a job with a specific specialisation such as 3d modelling or asset creation.

Entry requirements for sections of the game industry
Working for a game company in terms of entry requirements it would vary on the size and significance of the company and role for a large company typically a university degree in a relevant digital subject sometimes isn't required but does increase your chances as well as a portfolio full of work you have done to prove your skills abilities and experience the advantages of working for a game company compared to other jobs in the industry is that they are typically high paying, you get a pension, job security, a stable income, and is typically a long term career path. Because I want to do 3d modelling of some kind a job that has particular sectors where you would specialise in something would be one of the best choices for me especially later in like when I want a stable job when starting off however I would look into some other part of the gaming industry when starting off. the disadvantages of working in the game industry would be you would have less flexibility on the types of games you would be working on you would have less creative control on what you would want to do because it is ultimately the decision of your employers what they want.
Starting your own company
Starting your own company has no entry requirements but it is recommended to have a background in the chosen subject as well as communications skills business skills etc it is usually best to partner with a group so you their fore have better support and a combined cooperation to starting the business the advantages of creating your own company would be you would have free reign on the entire company you would do the types of game you want what contracts with buyers to pick if our company is successful you would ultimately earn more money. The disadvantages of this however would be that their would be a possibility of the company failing a greater margin for loosing money or becoming bankrupt during the start of the company you would be towered by bigger companies so it would be hard to find contracts. and also our have to not only look after yourself your obligated to your employees to pay them give the job security pensions etc in terms of me seeing myself in this role would be very low i do not see myself as staring my own company i find it to be too many disadvantages for me that advantages.
Freelancing the entry requirements for free lance work in he gaming industry would vary and change on the company you are with a contract with at the time is because but the overall universal entry requirements would be a background of education that is Digital related as well as having presentation skills to pitch your ideas to potential employers for your work this would require a portfolio to show them of your skills experience and abilities the advantages of freelancing would be that they is less stress when working because yum have little obligation to your employers you can choose what company to work for and what to do. also their is no advancements in hierarchy. the disadvantages of freelancing would be that it would be your own game you would be working on you would typically be earning less money theirs no job security and their fore no pensions. I would see myself doing this type of work when beginning my career in the gaming industry theirs less stress and less commitments than working for the company and it would give me the chance to practise my games developments skills and build up my portfolio that I can then use to apply for a job at a high end company.this relates to what I want to do because it is games related.
Teaching requires a fixed entry requirement typically a collection of a-levels in maths and English and a university degree in the particular subject as well as interview and presentations skills as well as a ability to evaluate and critically grade workIn England, you’ll also need to have passed the a test that would give you a certification as a teacher.
The advantages of teaching rather than working in the gaming industry would be you would have fixed hours of work with job security a pension with prospects of advancements and in those high end teaching jobs such as university you would earn high amounts of money compared to doing something like free lancing work or some job within a games company itself. the disadvantages of working as a teacher in the games industry would be that you would be teaching rather than making games this can be seen as a advantage to some people I disagree also theirs lots of paperwork as well as continuous teacher training. I cannot see myself as becoming a teacher is I one section of the games industry I cant see myself doing however I am not completely adamant about not doing teaching work I just have an aversion because I would prefer to make game rather than teaching the skills.
