Applying for Summer Internships

PUT RESEARCHING SCREENSHOTS OF THE COMPANIES HERE AND WHY THEY WOULD HELP YOU DEVLOP YOUR SKILLS ETC...


The painful part that needs to be done, i went through the horrible process of finding a bazzilion games studio's in and around the area and researched them all before writing emails to each and every one. As always i find it a little difficult to write professional emails as i always want to make jokes and not sound like i'm begging or boring. Here's a few screenshots to show i actually did it.





and here's a list i made of all the places i applied - 

I've found at the moment that most of the studio's are not doing internships this year or are doing them in programming which i know nothing about. I'm going to continue to look and apply for studios that are further away with the hopes that i can commute or live away for a little bit. 

I made sure to do some research on the studios before i sent off my gaming CV and covering letter, i made sure to personalise each one and include something i liked about their studio, this way they would feel like a mass email had been sent out and i'd taken the time to know their studio. Here's some screenshots of me doing this, it take a much longer time than sending out a mass email but it is much more professional practise to network on the correct level and give people more respect than a mass one.
