Hey new friends! Thanks again for joining Leyla, Brandon, Shawn, Chris and I during our panel on How to Apply for an Indie Game Job at GDC 2025. As promised, I've pulled together a few articles and resources that you can use to help you with your job applications and beyond.
If you didn't make it to GDC or were one of those who were turned away at the door because we were at capacity, the VOD is available on the FREE version of the GDC Vault.
Links and resources:
- Nate's resume
- Personalizing your applications
- Cover letter template
- Nate's favorite portfolio and case study (this is seriously an amazing example, but would also be 90% as good if it was half as long)
Hiring Post-Mortems:
- Learnings From Clever Endeavour's Hiring Experience
- On Applying for 3D Artist Jobs
- Giving Feedback to Every Applicant
Work With Indies:
- Our job board
- Our Discord (if we get to your question at the panel, you can stop by my Office Hours (AMAs) in our Discord every other Wednesday and ask away)
- Daily and weekly job alerts (definitely sign up for daily if Audio, QA & CS, or Writing jobs as they tend to close fast)
