Level Up is holding a Get in the game! workshop for those looking into breaking into the games industry.
From the Level Up website...
Our Get in the game! workshop gives budding game developers the information and tools to successfully break into the games industry. We outline the various careers available in the games industry and carefully detail the application process, from submitting your resume and portfolio through to interviewing with your potential employer. Most importantly, we provide one-on-one feedback to each participant on their individual resume and portfolio, ensuring you-re fully prepared to get your desired games job and to give you an edge over other applicants. The hardest part of starting your career in games is getting a foot in the door - and we're here to ensure you put your best foot forward.
The upcoming workshops listed are at:
Canberra : November 1, 2008 (AIE Canberra)
Sydney : November 8, 2008 (AIE Sydney)
Melbourne : November 15, 2008 (IDEF Conference)
Level Up has posted in the forum that the workshop "will be hosted by three senior games industry professionals, giving tips on applying for jobs, creating resumes and portfolios, and presenting yourself as best you can to potential employers. Online registration will be available for the workshop in the next few days."
