Shift2Games Career Day

For everyone who is interested in a career in the gaming industry, we are organizing the first job fair and career counseling! Show your art to game art seniors, ask HR people anything you're interested in and meet leading gaming companies. At the end of it all - inspiring lectures and the launch of our new platform Shift2Games!

WHO IS #SHIFT2GAMES CAREER DAY FOR?

For you! If you’re looking for a career in gaming, whether you’re just exploring, looking for your first job or already working somewhere and want to move into the gaming industry.

WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE?

Several stages will be organized throughout the day in the large area of Dorćol Platz:

  • PORTFOLIO REVIEW CHAIR

You draw for yourself, you watch tutorials on YouTube for hours, but you have no idea if you’re going in the right direction or not. During the whole day you will have the opportunity to show your works to senior artists from the companies: Playstudios, Nordeus, Crater and Art Bully.

All you need is to bring your tablet, laptop, USB or just a phone on which you will show your ArtStation account or portfolio, and they will give you feedback and guidelines for further work. You can also ask them how they’re doing at work, what you need to study next, and what your next steps are for entering the gaming industry.

  • SERBIAN GAMING COMPANIES BOOTHS

Some of our members will be there at your disposal – for you to get to know them and for them to get to know you!

  • HR CORNER

In this part of the fair, you can talk 1 on 1 with people who hire future gaming talents and who take care of employees in the companies: Playstudios, Wargaming, Nordeus, Mad Head Games.

You can ask them anything: how is an interview for a position, what is expected in the test, what is team building like… Here you can also show your CV, to see if you need to improve it somehow. You can also apply for internships in companies that are planning them soon. And merch packages are waiting for everyone in the HR corner.

MAIN STAGE

At the very end, the main dynamic program will be held on the main stage from 4 p.m

  • INSPO TALKS: What can be done in gaming and how do you get there? Those who have succeeded know this. Listen to three turbo short but dynamic lectures from the stars of domestic gaming!> Nikola Damjanov (Nordeus) – Game art
    > Anđela Simić (Playstudios) – Game Design
    > Nikola Šoškić (Shosha Games) – Indie development
  • LAUNCH of the Shift2Games PLATFORM: Shift2Games finally becomes the address for all of you on June 22nd at this event!
  • SOMETHING TOP TOP SECRET (Well, it’s a secret duhh!)

This activity is launched by the Creative Tech Serbia supercluster, with the support of USAID Serbia and ICT Hub Belgrade (through the Serbia Inovira project). You can read more about the Creative Tech Serbia supercluster here.
