NEXT-GEN Nescot week 10 - Job roles

In my future within the video-game development and V.F.X industries, the three jobs I would prefer to have would be: a games programmer or 2.D/3.D artist or concept artist. However out of these jobs the ones I would most want to become would be a games programmer.

For the role of a video-game programmer, I believe I have the skills, knowledge and imaginative spirit required to become a valuable employee.
The skills that are needed for this role include:

1. The ability to program in C++ (also known as C# or "C-sharp), C and other forms of programming languages.
2. The capability to work alone and with others.
3. A systematic and organised lifestyle.
4. Valid communication skills.
5. Platform experience (different types of consoles/computers).
6. An understanding of game-play.
7. To be able to take instructions and work to deadlines accordingly.
8. To be creative, imaginative and contain problem-solving skills.
9. And finally to hold the knowledge of relevant health and safety legislation and procedures.

In order to secure my placement with this job, I will seek out video-game development companies with open placements and give in my CV or attend interviews at ether Indie game companies or Triple A companies.

Hopefully, after getting a job at a desired position I will be determined to learn the software that the company uses, as well as improve my position further by working hard and following instructions given by my employers.
