A orientação, na essência, deve ser a mesma para qualquer empresa, mas com alguns detalhes importantes: - Conheça sobre a empresa ou organização que irá realizar a entrevista, conhecer sua história, as participações em torneios e posicionamento nas mídias; - Faça um bom portfólio, com seus resultados e projetos do setor, tendo tudo na ponta da língua para explicar. - Informe sobre cases e lições aprendidas neles. É muito mais importante saber como resolveu uma situação de revés do que a forma que você teve um resultado positivo sem desafios no caminho.

A pesquisa sobre a empresa deve transcender o google. É importante saber o posicionamento dela no mercado, os números e os indicativos de planejamento futuro. Pesquise por entrevistas dos sócios e membros internos que sempre apresentam dados importantes. Esteja atendo a cultura organizacional de cada um. Se vista de acordo. Se vai em um time que possui rivalidade com outros, por elementos de cor ou símbolos de identificação, evite utiliza-los na entrevista.

Simule todas as respostas. Busque um mentor do cenário para que lhe de dicas ou faça uma entrevista simulada. Muitas pessoas usam a inteligência artificial nos dias de hoje para simular diálogos. Use-a também como aliada.

A entrevista não pode ser um monólogo ou algo que só o entrevistador tem questionamentos. faça perguntas, demonstre curiosidade sobre a empresa, e tire todas as dúvidas que possui sobre a vaga para evitar qualquer tipo de expectativa frustrada.

5 Test your equipment

The fifth step to prepare for an interview related to eSports is to test your equipment and ensure that everything is working properly. Since most interviews in the eSports industry are conducted online, you'll need to have a reliable internet connection, a good microphone, a clear camera, and a comfortable headset. You should also have a backup plan in case something goes wrong, such as a phone number or an alternative platform to contact the interviewer. You should also check the sound and video quality, the lighting, the background, and the angle of your camera, and make sure that they are optimal and professional. You should also avoid any distractions or interruptions, such as notifications, noises, or other people, and inform your interviewer in advance if you expect any.

6 Relax and be yourself

The sixth and final step to prepare for an interview related to eSports is to relax and be yourself. You should be confident, positive, and enthusiastic, but also honest, humble, and respectful. You should be prepared, but not rehearsed, and be ready to adapt and improvise if needed. You should also be polite, friendly, and engaging, and show your personality and passion for eSports. You should also listen carefully, answer clearly, ask smartly, and thank sincerely. Remember that an interview is a two-way conversation, not a test, and that you're there to showcase your skills and potential, but also to learn and connect.

Este es un sector que tiene posibilidades infinitas. NO te limites a lo que ya existe. Demuestra que puedes generar opciones diferentes, disruptivas; pero, que sobre todo, impacten en 2 áreas fundamentales: las comunidades de jugadores y los resultados que podrán obtener las marcas al conectarse con ellas, a través de las experiencias que diseñes o dirijas.
