Yet you know your actually intelligent and capable of more, good problem solving, creative thingking & the like. yes i may be directly referancing myself here but im sure there are other who just had a large spot of bad luck in early life and didnt get to grow the way they should have. <br /><br />Also as regards to you latest post, yes people have the ability to make themselves come across as the right person for the job but the hard part isnt doing that in person but getting someone to want to talk to you in person in the first place.robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161388073959322602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355740982230109703.post-36795068160865665482011-11-02T13:23:59.979-07:002011-11-02T13:23:59.979-07:00The problem with being an American trying to work ...The problem with being an American trying to work in Europe is basically a Visa issue. You simply won't get a job in Europe without industry experience, because the government won't issue a visa for you. By the way, that problem is twice as bad going from Europe to America - the visa laws there are a hell of a lot tougher.<br /><br />Also there are a lot more studios in US and Canada, which means you are in a better position than your European counterparts.<br /><br />My advice is to just get in the door somewhere and build up some experience, once you have that then making the move to Europe will become a lot more likely.Mark Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843851376487647469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355740982230109703.post-25805239531171716622011-11-02T11:10:07.250-07:002011-11-02T11:10:07.250-07:00Its always great to see folks that are long time v...Its always great to see folks that are long time vets of the industry sharing their experience with folks trying to break in. <br /><br />Quick questions, as you and your team are in the UK, do you perceive it to be more difficult for people outside the UK to get jobs over there? I only ask because I know many graduates from my school (Full Sail) have applied to UK/Euro companies and as far as I know no one has even had a response when they get plenty around the US and Canada.<br /><br />It is very likely that they dont have the credentials a lot of the time, but I find that hard to believe all the time. Are there any tricks us American's should know when applying to studio's in the UK or Europe?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
