I’ve put a free download on Game Production Academy.
I made it for anyone who has been job-hunting in games for months and needs more options quickly.
I have worked inside and outside the games industry, and I have had to translate my own CV between games roles and non-games roles regularly. I have also worked across nearly all of the role types covered in this toolkit, plus have gained many of the qualifications suggested, so the guidance here is grounded in how these jobs operate day to day, not theory.
This 30 page toolkit, written by me, helps you:
Identify role targets that match what you already do
Translate your CV and LinkedIn profile into language employers outside games recognise
Understand which gaps matter and which do not
Apply more widely without pretending to be someone you are not
This is not a promise of employment. It is a set of practical tools to improve your odds and increase your options.
What's Included:
Skills taxonomy (plain-language skill groups you can use on CVs and in interviews)
Role translation tables (games roles mapped to tech roles)
Skills-to-role fit matrix (to prioritise which roles to target first)
CV language swaps and evidence prompts (turn “I shipped games” into delivery outcomes employers understand)
Gap checklist and training options (free/low-cost learning plus recognised certifications)
Download here:
If you know someone who’s out of work, please share it with them.
(You can still apply for games roles. This is about widening the net, not “leaving games”.)
Do me a favour and take a look and spread the word. I realise you might this this is a cheap AI-produced marketing ploy, but it really isn't. I wrote it for free because I give a damn about people struggling to find work. It's legit and it's packed full of what I know to be true, because I've direct experience.
Thank you.
Liam
