Getting that Games Job

It's very difficult to get a job in the gaming industry these days its very much about who you know as well as what you know so the best things to do is network and make yourself a presence on the internet.
I regularly check indeed.co.uk for jobs going
I also use http://gamedevmap.com/ - this is a really helpful link and an easy way to see what games jobs are going in your area. I have also applied for internships from last year, this helped me see that everyone is always going for something at the same time and they literally cannot response because of so many people applying and wanting internships/ jobs.
I am going to get in touch with one of the games companies that did reply back and he was quite a nice guy, we talked through emails for a bit so that could be a link to something possibly?
I found this article in Develop magazine, I find this magazine to be really insightful and they have had helpful tips before in them such as how to write a good gaming CV. This one however was about your gaming career as a whole and saying it. The interesting thing was that by saving it it was giving you better advice instead of you reading things that people hadn't already made mistakes through, I learnt quite a few tips and good advice from this article -

• Improve your game Demo
• Improve your CV 
• Interview techniques, PRACTISE
• Moving country can be a good thing and a fresh new start
• Dress smart and professional
• Get promoted in audio, the internet, anywhere you can thats respectful
• Gain knowledge from books as well as media
• Open your own studio if possible

It really was an interesting and insightful article to read which I will take a lot from, It may seem intimidating at first but i have quite a confident outlook on life and if you work hard enough you can get to where you want to be which is what i plan to do. 

Heres just a couple of pics from the article-
