Ubisoft Leamington’s Post

Can I let you know what I've been up to? For the last year and a half, every weekday at 5:00 PM Pacific I open my browser, hit Ctrl+N for a new tab, and bring up the following pages: Animation/VFX/Game Industry Job Postings -> Disney Jobs -> Careers at Paramount -> NBCUnicareers -> Careers at Warner Bros. Discovery -> Skydance Careers -> Titmouse Careers -> Bento Box Entertainment Careers -> Careers at Atomic Cartoons -> Working at Sony Pictures Entertainment -> Job Postings at Sony Pictures Animation -> Netflix Jobs -> Netflix Animation Jobs -> Lionsgate/Starz Careers -> Moonbug Entertainment Jobs -> Job Listings at The Jim Henson Company -> Careers at Illumination Entertainment -> FOX Careers -> Apple Studios Jobs -> Amazon Studios Jobs I've typed these frequently enough that the results auto-fill. It's become a ritual. I filter each site by California, manually scrub through the postings, and immediately apply for roles that I feel qualified for. I have a Dropbox full of resumes and cover letters ready to be slightly altered based on the recipient (with special exceptions!). I really want to work in Animation production. But I know that role is coveted, so I also apply to general Entertainment roles I feel equipped for and hope that the winding path gets me to a point where my passion and income align. My primary work for the past five...plus...ish years has been finding greater responsibility in Higher Education administration. I like it. I'm good at it. It has all the transferable skills required, and it may even pay better than the lowliest PA role. (And if you're a potential University employer reading this - stop!) Yet I know in my little dumb creative heart that even if I'm not the author, the director, the showrunner, then at least I'd like a life where I get to contribute to a vision. So I'm sticking to this ritual if it rarely shows results. People are going to write a million posts about "the state of the industry" and, while true, I'll keep doing what I've done for the last twenty years or so - driving past the studio and thinking, "Well I have no business there, so how in the world do I get in?"

🌟 Happy Father's Day to All the Amazing Dads in the Animation and VFX Industry: A Call to Executive Producers, COOs, and CEOs 🌟 As we celebrate our incredible fathers, let's also reflect on the future of the Animation and VFX industry. Key Areas to Focus On: Talent Retention and Development: Layoffs have increased by 15% globally, with the real impact being even greater. Investing in career development is crucial. Embracing New Technologies: AI-driven tools can boost efficiency by up to 30%. Sustainable Practices: Sustainable production can cut carbon emissions by up to 50%.

I understand that many highly skilled professionals have questions in mind. I urge all of them to join the conversation. Trust me, your input helps evolve the Indian Animation and VFX industry and fosters personal growth for each of us. I cordially invite all Executive Producers, COOs, CEOs, Heads of Production, Business Development Executives, VPs, and industry leaders to join the conversation and share your visions. Together, we can harness the potential of our industry and shape a thriving future. Let's lead with integrity, innovate with passion, and create a legacy that inspires future generations. #FathersDay #Animation #VFX #IndustryLeadership #FutureForward #Innovation #Sustainability #GlobalCollaboration #IndianIPs

[hiring] looking for a variety of skills for an upcoming project Hey everyone! I’m the creator of an underway indie animated show that’s in its early stages. We currently have designs/early animation underway and I’m looking to get the other aspects of the show going. Skills I know we currently need are soundtracks, sound design, and voice acting. In addition to that, I’m looking to hear from you how you feel you can contribute to this project! For example, we’ve had people who have helped with setting up our discord server and building our website. Please reach out if you feel you have some way you can contribute to this show! Please also keep in mind that we are currently on a tighter budget as we are just starting out, but as the show becomes bigger and we are able to crowdfund, we’ll have a bigger budget. I’m looking forward to hearing from you all! https://lnkd.in/dNVcxybu #hiring #jobs #jobsearch #recruitment #job #nowhiring #recruiting #career #employment #careers #hiringnow #work #jobseekers #hr #resume #jobopening #jobhunt #business #humanresources #jobseeker #applynow #jobopportunity #vacancy #staffing #jobsearching #interview #recruiter #jobvacancy #wearehiring #jobinterview
