Sign Up with Epic GamesHow to find work (in Video-Games) - Guide
Hi everyone. In this guide I will share what I know about finding freelance and studio work, (remote and on-site) and guide you through step by step process and fundamental mind-sets I keep close when approaching a client or art director you want to work with.
This guide includes all basics I know and have used for all my career in both games, multimedia and graphic design. Over the years I've worked with such clients as Blink 182, Google, Internet of Things, 3DTotal, Frictional Games and many others.
The content is a mix between tutorial, essay, a collection of studies and break-downs of existing bad and good examples of cover letters, resume's, portfolios and what kind of sites you should visit to get more work and even showcase of some techniques for clients emailing you themselves to offer you work instead of having you find work on your own.
Contents:

Part 6: Studies of successful cover letters vs ones that failed
Part 7: How to find clients at the right time and actually get more chances at getting hired

Miguel's guide on finding work is really thoughtfully written. There's a lot of great advice for both freelance and studio settings, and it has actionable steps that the reader can take immediately.
He's provided examples of portfolio layout with detailed explanation on the thought process, successful and unsuccessful cover letters, and forum posts for advertisement. I appreciated the examples of the cover letters and the comparisons/thoughts on what works as this is something people don't talk about in depth often. Understanding the thought process behind the steps is great. It lets you actually apply this knowledge to yourself and figure out what works best for you rather than just trying to copy what someone else did.
There's also a huge list of forum links for both freelance advertisements and job postings; super helpful, and also makes the search for freelance work a little less intimidating!
