This tutorial you’ve provided is very well suited for people with some experience in game developing, mostly in programming/designing. However, this is not my case. My interest in the gaming industry lies in story development and game world creation (lore, people, races, factions, etc…). Whereas on the one hand my experience lies solely in the development of p&p RPG gameworlds as storyteller, on the other hand, my experience lies solely in the development of p&p RPG gameworlds as storyteller…
Now, how could I tailor my CV to spark some interest? My goal, at the moment, is in supporting new companies (from indie developers and companies seeking crowd-sourcing), with a few industry veterans on their ranks.
(I can provide more details for discussion email, if you won’t mind).
Thank you for your attention.

Vic

Thanks!

Anyway, sorry about that, and the answer to the question is: “Unannounced game for X console.” It’s very common. You need to check with the company, though: often even the console is secret. I’ve everything from “Unannounced next-gen game” to “FPS-RTS hybrid based on external IP for Xbox 360.”

For industry folks with a few years’ experience, two pages should be fine.

I wonder about the one-page limit, however. Most resumes are submitted electronically, so there’s no reason to concern yourself with paper and ink (right?), and, as you’ve pointed out, it’s good to leave enough space so that your resume is easy to read.

I can understand that limiting yourself to a single page is a good way to avoid writing too much, but if you’ve the ability to keep things brief and relevant, does it matter that you “cram all your contact information into the top inch of your resume?” Is a two-page PDF really that much worse than a single-page one?
