The last time I started preparing for interviewing at a new jib I realized my approach had evolved into a streamlined process. I've written about this process in my blog, I hope you can take something from it whether you're still a student or already have several years of experience working. All the ideas presented here can be used for any industry, there are a few examples related to the video game industry but that's because it's my personal experience. Even if you're not a game developer, give it a shot regardless of your industry background! https://lnkd.in/dStn73dC

Tips to ace your game programmer interview

Leetcode == Chess??? Imagine if your technical interviewer challenges you to a chess match, how do you think it will go? Watching Ding and Gukesh play in the world chess tournament reminded me that chess games are eerily similar to technical interviews. Just as in chess, we have to deal with random questions (random chess openings), our attitude before and during the interview determines the way our interview will go. Altho, we really can't 'think out loud' in chess. It is highly encouraged to be vocal and let the interviewer understand your thought process. Full article:

Job Seekers! Here's another free resource! You may have heard advice around communicating your expertise and experience using the S.T.A.R method. It's a SUPER helpful framework for both Interviews and CVs. After some requests from the wonderful attendees at "The Takeaway" over on the Indie Game Academy discord, I've popped together this (hopefully) handy reference guide for you to use. There's also a TON of advice online and from great internal/external recruiters in games, but this should be a great starter if you're stuck! I try to post helpful things as often as I can, if you want to see more of that just drop me a follow. #GameJobs #VideoGames #ComputerGames #CVhelp #Interviewadvice

Announcing a new personal project of sorts: the Critical Hit Digest. TL:DR offering my own two cents and another place to publish stories about what I find interesting in tabletop roleplaying games. https://lnkd.in/etexCnfJ TTRPGs are things like Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder, etcetera. There's a ton of great reporting showing that this hobby of nerdery has expanded exponentially in the last few years. It makes a lot of money and a lot of people enjoy it. At the same time, traditional media's in a bad place and doesn't really care that much about this industry. So I just want to bring my own experience as a technology and internet reporter to this beat and try to tell some stories about it. This newsletter is my attempt at that and I hope you'll give it some of your time. I'll compile a mixture of news stories, deals as well as my own reporting and aggregation of news on the subject. For example, I started my first issue with a simple overview of how AI is being used by DMs and third-party publishers in the industry. Anyway, give it a look!
