Short and Sweet Job Advertisement and Requirements

As suggested to me by a fellow student on my course, I was told to look up adverts so that I would get an idea at what potential employers would e looking for from me and my work in the future.

As I am doing a 3D Modelling Dissertation my main point of interest was 3D Modelling jobs in the games industry. I came across a few adverts that were suited to me and I will be structuring my work around the specific constraints of the job advert that I found most appealing as well as the general constraints of other advertisements that I found that had very similar attributes that they were looking for i.e. knowledge in 3DS Max, Maya, Mud Box etc.

Here is the advert link that I found most appealing and one that I believe I could apply for in the future after completing the course as I display some of the attributes they are looking for and hopefully once I have completed this module I will be able to demonstrate even more of the requirements they are looking for.

Here are the requirements that are listed on a job advert from G3D Limited. From this I can see what I need to focus on with my work to ensure that I have the best possible chance to get into the field I want to work in, in the future. Some aspects I believe I may already have but this gives me the opportunity to develop my skills and hopefully acquire the skills I don't have yet.

Requirements:
Strong Portfolio with examples of:

• Low and High-resolution modelling in 3ds Max (preferred)
• High quality texture creation
• Normal mapped game assets
• Photoshop at good level
• Preferably Z-brush / Mudbox experience

The candidate will ideally have the following qualities:

• Strong communication skills.
• Unreal Engine experience.
• Good eye for details.
• Able to work as part of a team.
• Be a keen gamer

Here is another job application I found which also will help me focus on what I need to learn and develop to aid me getting a job in the future.
