What should i make for finding a good job?

I'm looking for a job, but forgot how it to do, because not frequently change a job :)

I have experience in Maya (modeling and animation) and i have experience in other software, like After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, Corel and so on.
My last job was in game developer studio, i'm was lead artist.
So ... that's it. For more information email to petryaev@inbox.lv

Thank you.

P.S. By the way, you can see some my works on this site. The links are below.

Demo reel is most important. Experience afterwards. Good personality wouldn't hurt either. ;)

What do you mean?

Demo reel - web site or big single video?

Demo on VHS is the best for getting jobs website only goes so far....Best to have both..

Website worked for me. :D

Thanks for your advices.

Your stuff is real good, I think you have a good chance of getting a job.

I think the problem is to find a company that is the need to hire someone with your skills.

and in your country.

Well, I would probably be willing to move if I got a good job in a foreign country. As long as english or swedish is the main language ;)


EDIT, oops should read "job" there, not country ;) (edited the sentance).

My country can't give me job which i want, this is small and poor country ... Therefore I try to find something outside of my "village" :) ... and language is not a big problem, i think relocation is big problem, and for me, and for employer

I think people's skills are more important than your own industrial/artistic/technical skills. The ability to work with a team and provide the best you can do is the key for success.

Don´t think a firefighter will put out a fire, if he only knows how to talk with his partners.

I´d say, best to have everything in you. As long as there´s someone with a problem that you can solve, you will be okay. If you want to have a partner, or even a team, then your people skills will matter, but not as much as the gist of whatever you DO know.

I think it's a little of both. People skills will get you job, oftentimes, but your technical skills will help you to keep it.

A poor plumber may make friends among the management, but if his work sucks (er, bad pun, sorry) then even his golf game won't help him keep his job.
An excellent plumber with a few holes in his social skills may rub his management the wrong way, but if he's often requested by the customer and makes them money, they tend to overlook that.

The ideal employee, of course, is the excellent trademan with great social skills. Those, generally, are few and far between in my experience :/

People skills will get you job, oftentimes, but your technical skills will help you to keep it.

Nataliia you are absolutely right!

Well, I have heard of people who were not necessarily doing a bad job but were let go because of their horrible attitudes. Overall, though, you're probably right.
