In 2018, I landed my first job in #gamedev in Warsaw. I sent out about 50 emails to various companies, but only one called me for an interview. Interestingly, this company wasn't even advertising for an artist position on their website.

I had heard that it's worthwhile to send applications even if there's no listed opening for your role, so I gave it a shot—and it worked! I secured my first job as a concept artist for VR projects. Although I only stayed for a year before moving into freelance work, the experience was incredibly cool and fun.

Finding a job in this industry can be tough, especially now, but perhaps reaching out to companies even when they aren’t actively hiring for your position can still be a viable strategy.
