Work-Based Learning – Investigation & Preparation Notes (3/10/2012)

• Watch the videos posted on the Facebook group ‘Design for Games - Plymouth College of Art’ in order to get a better understanding and more knowledge of the industry.
• Also read and/or watch the interviews on the game’s careers websites that my lecturer recommended.
• Tailor my CV around the game’s career I want.
• Always research the company that I am applying for.
• Build a data base / research file on all the careers I am thinking of going into. This way I can find out the pros and cons of each one.
• GDC Vaults – Watch their videos.
• Look up the article on the website Gamasutra (Writing a Resume for a game company) in order to rewrite my CV efficiently.    
• Always write down notes whenever I go to an X-Play event so as to show evidence that I have been to one (Need to attend at least 3).
• Experiment with voice acting by acting instead of reading scripts. Try and find a way of sounding natural even when voice acting. :)
