New ASGC Resource Library Offering: Careers Outside Gaming

For the previous 18 months, one of many clearest themes I’ve highlighted for our group has been serving to individuals in video games efficiently discover roles exterior of video games.

The first main step was Project Reality, a sensible profession technique information for video games professionals navigating a transition. I’m deeply grateful to the crew that constructed this, particularly Tyler Cushing for permitting us to thoughtfully incorporate substantial content material from his e-book, New Game Plus: A Game Professional’s Guide to Breaking Into New Industries.

But even with that information, lots of you stored asking a particularly reasonable query:
This all is sensible in idea. But inform me much more about what I’m truly certified for out of doors of video games!

That is the place Julie D. stepped in, and she or he will get all of the credit score for driving this new useful resource.

I requested Julie to take all 20 skilled classes we observe in our group and create a devoted tab for every one in a workbook. For each class, she gathered actual examples of roles that exist throughout a number of industries and that map on to the abilities video games professionals have already got.

Not hypotheticals.
Not imprecise options.
Concrete function examples you possibly can visualize.

Let me be clear what that is.
This is just not a job board.

And Julie and I would like this to be a residing useful resource.

Julie has graciously agreed to personal and keep it. After reviewing it, in case you have sturdy examples so as to add to any tab, please ship them on to her. Ideally, use the identical Excel construction so she will be able to simply incorporate extra rows.

I hope this turns into a bridge from uncertainty to readability, serving to candidates see they’re able to way over simply video games, and reminding hiring managers and recruiters of that as effectively.

Julie, thanks for the time, thoughtfulness, and precision you place into this. And to everybody in the neighborhood, let’s preserve including to it collectively.
