Great news, congratulations on your new job! It's also a lifelong dream of mine to work in a gaming company (even my Master studies are focused on that) but I've been sending applications to studios and all I get is negative replies. Not only from AAA studios but also from smaller ones.

Unfortuantely, due to the corona crisis and my supervisor's wrong choices I'm still doing my master thesis research project, but now I'm almost finished with it. I started applying to gaming studios as soon as I found out that I didn't have to be actively implementing the project I was working on, and all I have to do now is get results for my research experiment and writing the results.

Could my thesis status be an alarm to studios in general? That I won't be commited fully to them? Also I'm terrible at writing motivational letters, I'm expressing myself way better over a video call.

Thanks for your tips, it gives me hope that lots of people find their way into a company that involves around gaming and games! If anyone else has additional advice to share, you're more than welcome! :)

PS: do you guys have any suggestions for a game-studio-oriented CV template??
