What’s the Hardest Part of Game Dev Job Hunting Right Now?
Job hunting can feel overwhelming, not because you’re doing it wrong, but because the industry is chaotic. Let’s talk about it. What’s the ONE thing you’re finding hardest right now? Is it: • ghosting? • burnout? • your confidence? • portfolio pressure? • not knowing what to fix first? • motivation? • all of it? Whatever it is, say it. No judgement here. Half the battle is realising you’re not the only one feeling it.

@Tina Velez-Grey as an older gent myself, I can categorically confirm ageism is a thing. But no one will admit to it. But yeah, ghosting can GTFO.

@Bailey Anischenko interesting, as per @Tina Velez-Grey point, age is a thing, both ends of spectrum. It’s worrying really. Don’t matter to me if you’re 16 or 160, if you can do the job, you should have the opportunity to do the damn job!

Post Your Resume/CV Below - Let’s Make It Stronger 💪
Your CV doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be clear. If you want some feedback, drop yours below (PDF, screenshot, or Google link). I’ll point out: • what stands out • what’s holding you back • the quickest wins • what recruiters REALLY look for No judgement. No shame. Everyone here is improving together. If you’re nervous about posting it publicly, send it privately, that’s fine too. Let’s get your CV working for you, not against you.

@Matthew Bousfield Mate, that ‘no games studio experience’ line is bullshit, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You’ve shipped stuff, so that’s strong already! For me, it’s just about how you’re positioning yourself, needs a bit more impact where possible. 3/4 lines of impactful bullets outweigh a list of contributions! Not bad mate.
