A games industry junior's perspective on job hunts and interviews: a thread. A lot of repeated info from stuff that's been said before me, but I definitely did not believe all this so I hope my baby career voice can help this sink in with other newbies.

DISCLAIMER: I AM A JUNIOR. I am new on the block (<1 year), these things are not universal and I am definitely not an expert. These are merely the things I wish I knew when I was looking for and applying to jobs.

1. Know what you don't know. The strongest indicator that someone knows what they're doing is if they can be upfront about what they don't know. Be honest with your shortcomings while showing how you're making sure that doesn't stop you. (1/2)

That doesn't mean that you should not have any knowledge gaps! But be honest with where they are. It is completely fine to say "I have learned everything I can in my current environment, and I'm applying to this job so I can learn what my knowledge gaps are." (2/2)

2. Breathe, take a sip, and try again. Interviews are scary! Luckily for you, the interviewer is also a human being! They know how nerve-wracking an interview can be, so if you trip up or anything, take a sip of water and begin again. It isn't an exam, it's a conversation. (1/2)

Assume that they're your friend and that they're just curious about what you've done before! If you get a challenging question, don't be afraid to pause to collect your thoughts. It's better to be deliberate than rushed. Breathe and take a sip of your water. You got this. (2/2)

So much this. It's a two way conversation about getting to know you and you getting to know us. And as you mention, the interviewer is human too. Speaking from personal experience, theres a chance they're nervous too.
