Keep it simple
I'm no longer in the games industry, but when I was looking to get in, it was a fucking nightmare to find a job. I have always felt it was a problem that needed solving and while I can't help anyone with interview techniques, I can provide a list of REAL jobs from REAL companies. I wanted to make a simple site that aggregated all the live vacancies from the UK's game studios in one place, so that anyone looking for a job in games could find it easily. So here we are: gamesjobs.co.uk, a simple, easy to use, fast website that lists jobs from as many companies as I could find.
How it works
I use a series of scripts to scrape the careers pages of game studios across the UK. I then filter out any jobs that are not relevant to the games industry and display the remaining jobs on this site. I also check for new jobs every 24 hours and update the site accordingly. Sometimes things get through the filters but I'm doing the best I can. I use a series of scrapers for regular job posts and then some custom ones. Everything is aggregated and posted daily (sometimes around 4am UK time). There is an autopost to my Bluesky account that gives an update for how many jobs have been posted per day and another for a weekly update.
