Virtual Production SWE

[still cypress]

Recent graduate based in Sydney, Australia with 3YOE in the virtual production industry.

Looking to transition into a more C++ focused role in the same or an adjacent industry, with the aim of moving into graphics research or engineering in the mid-future. Also open to TD/technical artist roles with the opportunity for progression internally. Having a lot of trouble getting interviews, despite good feedback on my resume in the past from recruiters and reviewers.

This is post-rewrite, still working on it as it needs to be much shorter. Not sure what to prioritise in my experience.

Just as a heads up, you do not have enough YOE to have a two page resume

Get it to a single page

Yes that's what I'm struggling with. I'm at the point where I need to chop stuff entirely, and not sure what to prioritise

[willow oxide]

Prioritize keeping things with measurable/quantifiable impact.

(and then make sure to call out the impact specifically)

is it worth listing the productions i've worked on at all?

[willow oxide]

Depends on who youre targeting with the resume. If the company is requiring you to have worked on them in the past, it would be to your benefit to list some of the productions and your role. Don't take up more than 2 or 3 lines with it though, and no more than a single bullet point total on that

[still cypress]

that's helpful, thank you!
