Resume feedback

brainydexter · 2010-03-05T04:07:48

I am going to start applying for game dev positions and would appreciate any feedback that you can provide me with. One more thing, I am currently located in USA, but I would be applying to game studios in canada and other places. I mention this because of the format I have in my resume. Do you think I should change it, if lets say I am applying to a game studio in canada ? Edited: Resume Updated Resume (pdf) Updated resume (doc) Resume (doc) (link updated to google docs - no sign in should be required to view) Resume (pdf) (link updated to google docs - no sign in should be required to view) I am shooting for a gameplay / engine programmer. One more question: Should I include the AI work in my resume ? Thanks for your time. [Edited by - brainydexter on March 3, 2010 10:36:54 PM]

Updated resume (pdf) (condensed)

Thanks yaustar

I re-formatted the resume with slightly smaller font size. Strip text and made it more prose wherever I could. Well, now its slightly beyond one page.

Any more suggestions on how I can bring it down to one page ?

Bring your name down so it sits between your contact details and address.
Make your top and bottom margins smaller.
Bring your sub bullet points left by a bit.
