Hi everyone, I was hoping I could trouble you nice industry people/people in the US for some help.
I'm going to start applying to places in the US this week, last week I had an interview that went really well but turns out they didn’t need the extra staff (they're laid some people off) and couldn’t hire me. This was in the UK.
Now I'm very lucky at the moment to have a good job as a kinda technical artist at a real Studio (real world keeps me very busy 9-5 :P) But I'm not sure this job will be permanent, (after this game is complete, I don’t think there would be enough work here to keep me on). And with the other interview going well but there being no job at the end of it, well I'm not sure if I'll find anything here in the UK.
I also think it might help my search if I cast my net a a little wider, not just in the UK and there's many a company in the US
Those are the professional reasons; I have personal ones too
Anyway! Some info about myself -->
- I have a degree (BA) in Game Art. Which I studied for 3 Years.
(This would help with the immigration issue perhaps?)
- My portfolio website
Michael Adgar - 3D Artist
(CV is on there too…I should make it longer?)
- I have a passport :P
- Currently I'm employed at a studio as a 3D Artist/Technical Artist
(Experience woo!)
Now I was wondering if anyone had any tips (or leads
anyone know of a job?)
In my job search here in the UK I’ve just sent perspective applications to companies, vacancy or not. Sometimes I’ve gotten replies, sometimes not.
Should I use the same method on US Studios?
I’m sure I’ll have more questions soon, but umm, that’s all I can think of right now.
So if anyone did go from the UK to the US for work, or has any advice that would be useful please do share
Also! I'm sure I saw an article about just this subject last year, if anyone could find that it would probably answer a load of my questions
Thanks!
Addi
