To anyone struggling to find work - KEEP GOING~!

The struggle won't be forever. Find moments to rest and recharge and try to identify folks who have the job you want and don't be afraid to politely reach out and ask for some of their time.

When you do this, be specific about how that person can be of help to you, and always defer to their schedules and availability.

USE A CALENDAR.

I'm going to repeat that.

USE A CALENDAR.

Set milestones for yourself such as "X amount of Jobs applied to."

Make a spreadsheet so you can log all the positions you're interested in, URLs to the job posting, and at what stage of the process you are at for each application.

Make sub-spreadsheets for each application where you can break down a job post line by line + write out for yourself & as interview prep how you meet the requirements.

It's ok if you don't! List those as an Opportunity to grow and mention that in the interview/cover letter.

WRITE A TWITTER THREAD and pin it to your Bio, Be specific about what your qualities as a person are, the kind of environment you work well in and what your aspirations are.

Twitter makes it easy to share and link that info. People can't help if they don't know you need it.

Throw your resume in a Google Drive folder and then generate a public URL and add a keyboard shortcut in your phone/computer so that you can easily reference and share it. (I do this for hundreds of resources and links)

Ok that's all for now. RT's appreciated!

Btw, here's what I meant about keyboard shortcuts.

They save you so much time.

Adding to this thread folks who volunteer their time and support:

I forgot one of the most important things of all!

****** JOIN GAME INDUSTRY DISCORDS ******
