Thanks, will do!

Can you provide more detail - any error messages?

Also, it would be good to cover up a video on how to show your portfolio, there are few videos out there showing a proper way on displaying your git projects, or showing examples of a good display for programmers trying to showcase their work. Talking from experience, is hard to showcase worked projects for big companies code wize because of NDA signed by employees.

This is a very insightful comment, and I agree with you on all the points. For sure, this is just the first obstacle of many to overcome. I think the challenges that come after you get the callback can be especially painful in some of the very large corporations, and it often parallels the short average lifetime of the employees there which seems to be less than 2 years. My recommendation to beginners is to try to get into a company with less than 1000 employees, because in my experience the mentorship will be better and the interviews will be less robotic as well. The portfolios idea is a good one. I'm in the same boat, I can never talk about what I do or share anything I've built at work.

@@git-amend best thing I'm currently doing is polishing my pet projects to showcase them, and trying to make a web page showing all my portfolio, cv and maybe a blog (when I start one 😂).

@@IsmaelSerrada Oh that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of a blog. Good one!

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

You're welcome!

Awesome, thanks!

You can use VS Code, there's nothing special about my editor as it relates to the video. But for what it's worth, I'm using JetBrains Rider. At the moment you can get a free copy of it in the early access program if you want here: www.jetbrains.com/rider/nextversion/

@@git-amend thank you, i asked because you were doing stuff i had no idea how to do when creating the setup to create folder automatically, and i thought it was the editor

@@eugeniogenuinomota681 This channel is definitely geared towards devs who are ready to move beyond the beginner stage, so you may face some challenges as a total beginner. Not that you can't do it, but you may have to check the video comments for obstacles other beginners have faced, and of course the source code is also available in the description.

@@git-amend thank you, i was actually really excited for the tutorial for that reason, you seen to be very experienced and i am really wanted to learn what you were doing, its for a school project. Unfortunately, i dont have a lot of time for searching and stuff, so really i just wanted to make a game as quick as possible lol, just to show to my teacher. i tried downloading the source code, but since i dont fully understand it its kinda hard to work with, like adding certain components and stuff

My pleasure!

Well, don't beat yourself up. I'll tell you one more secret - there was a time when I was terrible at networking too, but I forced myself to add 10 connections on LinkedIn everyday until 500 people accepted. That took a long time, and it was the first thing I did every morning. After that, I didn't have a problem anymore, in fact I had to turn connection requests off because I got so many. Sometimes you have to force yourself to do the things you don't want to, and then everything changes.

Actually that is from the URP sample (the new one). I didn't have time to whip up something custom this week - so check it out! unity.com/demos/urp-3d-sample

It's not really a template, it's just an aggregation of several resumes that I've seen recently. You should make your own, and preferably using a professional tool like InDesign.

That secret sauce is something I wish I had mentioned in the video! Following up is very useful, though one of my tactics in the past has been to do that after the first interview to thank them for their time and typically I'll ask a question during the interview that I can thank them for their answer in the message (i.e. what's a good book to learn more about that subject?). Cheers!

@git-amend Oooooh I like that. Showing interest in learning as you go, that is a paramount skill in this industry! Cheers!

Hopefully as companies more more towards Remote work, opportunities will increase! Best of luck!

Yeah, I think we all do to a certain extent. Not sure about the audio, but I'll keep an eye on that.

My pleasure!

Are you looking for more courses about things like Adobe products (if so that creator has a lot of good courses) or something more about graphic design in general? I put a link to that course in the video description by the way.

@@git-amend Any great Udemy or similar courses that you think people would benefit from, doesn't have to be graphic design or Adobe specific.

Well, I hope that you aren't affected by all four of those at the same time - it will certainly be difficult. Self taught isn't a such a big issue. My suggestion is that if you don't have any official education, simply omit that from the resume, and if they ask about it, you can tell them you are self taught. I will say though, that you need to make sure you have some projects highlighted in your resume which are relevant to the job that will impress anyone looking at them. Next, be honest about your abilities. There's no point lying about them because you'll end up burning a bridge when they find out. Don't say you know JS if you do not, it's a waste of everyone's time, including yours. If you've been out of work for some time, that's fine. Nobody cares about that. If you haven't had a relevant job before, that's harder, but it really depends on the position you are trying to get. For most internships and co-op positions, that's expected because they are typically students. Even for Junior devs that's usually the case. If you have had a relevant job before but it was a long time ago, you can still put it on your resume, but they are going to want to know why you stopped. Maybe that was to focus on personal projects or do some consulting - hopefully something related. If you have these kinds of issues, it just means you have to make sure to network better than anyone else, and you also need to have some good projects you can highlight in your resume.

@@git-amend This is a great answer. TL;dr: Make good things, show them off, network.

My pleasure!

That’s a good point, qualifying a skill if possible is a plus.

Thank you! Cheers!

Nice work! Great to hear!

You’re welcome! Best of luck!

Nice! Best of luck if you’re job hunting!

You’re welcome!

It will not be the only challenge you face, but the reality is that most resumes are not worth consideration and that’s the end of the road for most applicants.

Yes, I agree - it is critical and surprising effective.

I agree, showing relevant related work if possible is a big deal. Not everyone can do that for various reasons, but I think it would benefit most people.

Haha nice. Good advice, thanks for sharing that!

There will likely be some follow up videos to this one, I’ll keep that suggestion in mind!

I can’t talk about where I work too much for contractual and security reasons, but it’s in enterprise programming. Making games is what I do for fun!

I'm sure it does seem monotonous, but your chances will be zero if you don't tailor your resume and cover letter to the job. Most of the time, those changes will be small because you'll be targeting the same sector of the industry. Make sure you start building connections with these people you want to work with too on social media, it makes a huge difference.

Right on! Best of luck!

Awesome, so glad you found it useful! Best of luck in your next job search!

Fantastic! It can be tough to break into the industry, so I hope this helps him!

He's still in school, but want him to start looking for the job he wants.

Awesome, glad to hear that! Let me know how it goes!

Ofcourse Sir

Glad this has helped out out. It sounds like you have a solid amount of work to back up your resume, so that's great. As for the questions, I would only focus on the hard level if you are trying to get into Google. Otherwise, medium is great - remember they aren't trying to stonewall you, they just want to know how you think. Join the Discord, we do a real interview question every Tuesday as a Code Kata! I'll probably do a video about interviews later this year.

@@git-amend Thank you just did, looking forward to it.

You can see all the archived ones here too, we've been doing this for a couple months now: github.com/adammyhre/Code-Katas

@@git-amend Thank you that's very kind of you

Yes! It was a long week wasn't it!

Instantly shared this in a discord community I'm in. We do get asked about this a lot, your video is another awesome resource. Hope you make another one that's game dev specific, I am finding it hard to put what as when I ask other software engineers that are non game dev I am not quite sure if it is applicable for me. Cheers.

To be more specific, I am not quite sure what to put like what tech stack or core skills to put as a unity developer other than unity engine, git, and c# as programming language for example. I may have been using some tech stack but is unaware that it is a stack. It just feels my resume is lightweight. I think the upside to being a game dev is that we can put the games we have worked on and have their own bullet points (this is what i did, i feel each project has something new that i was able to put value on and taught me new experiences)

@@johncarlogamboa7331 Thanks for sharing the video, I hope it helps a lot of people! I think the real big differences between general software engineering and game dev come out more during the interviews, as often the gatekeeper is not a developer. But I think I will talk about this topic more in the future, in particular what you've mentioned there.

Currently a mature game development university student in the UK, just sent my course lead this video and will be discussing it with my fellow students when we come back for our second year in September. Great video as always, very much appreciated.

It would remove all of them. Be careful when resetting back to the default player loop, it's generally not advised because I have heard of people doing this and then suddenly their 3rd party tools stop working creating an invisible bug because the 3rd party tool was adding a system they didn't know about and suddenly it's being removed silently.

Ah ok thank you. I dont currently have any third party tools that do this, so ill debug a warning to let me know.

Thanks for sharing your insights with a real-world use case! I like the house analogy. Regarding the switch statement, you're absolutely right. Converting if conditions that check the same variable values to a switch case can indeed streamline the code and improve readability, but using `switch (true)` is generally not recommended.

I understand your perspective; for solo developers or small-scale projects, abstraction can sometimes feel like overkill. I'll have a look at that video you mentioned.

You certainly could take that approach if you wanted to, and in fact I would say it's worth considering in your own projects if you felt that was useful for long term maintenance or some other reason. Usually though in the context of a KZbin video, for the sake of communicating the ideas being presented, I do my best to keep it as straightforward as possible.

I see, thank you! I'd really like to thank you for the quality of your videos, which are really professional. I've been looking for months for videos on game architecture in unity, which is often poorly explained, and with you I'm taking it to the next level.

If you are looking for a great DI tool that is easy to use from the store, I recommend this one. There is a free version as well. assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/init-args-200530?aid=1101lw3sv

@@git-amend I bought it immediately thank you !

Pass a reference to a SceneGroup into the SceneGroupManager.LoadScenes method to load new scenes together. If you are talking about adding a scene without unloading the current scenes, you'll have to add some functionality for that.
