Re: Informational Interview for Game Design Student
Dear Gaming Mentor:
Hi, my name is Sarah (Spyder) Brown, and I am an aspiring game artist/designer. I found your contact information via the twitter #1reasonmentors. I am conducting informational interviews, and would love to either have you respond to the questions below, or if you prefer, we can talk on the phone, and I can ask you these questions.
- What is your official job title? What exactly do you do?
- What are the pros and cons of your job?
- What are the physical and mental stresses in your job?
- What kind of person does well in this job?
- What is the work environment like, and what are they typical hours?
- What are the opportunities for employment in this field? How has the recent economic downturn affected this field?
- Is it different, in any way, for a woman to work in this field?
- What inspired you the most to work in this field?
- Any other information you care to share?
Thanks very much for offering to mentor young designers. I really appreciate it!
Game on!
Spyder Brown
