Growing up, although I was never discouraged to pursue any career I would want, as a woman, I definitely felt that IT was not a path I could take and moreover thought that a career in video games was not possible in South Africa.

After pursuing an entirely different career path but always having video gaming as a hobby, I finally managed to break into the video game industry by starting as a production assistant. Fast forward 3 years and I am now studio manager and becoming more and more involved in HR and being part of the community, doing outreach, and most importantly, being part of the hiring and selection process. This has allowed me to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of CVs and interviews. There are definite key tricks to being selected for an interview that are often overlooked, and then acing the interview to land the job. My talk will hopefully give you the guidance, confidence, and understanding of what employers are looking for when selecting candidates to join their company.
