How to land a first job as a VFX/Technical Artist?

Hi! So my name is Tobias and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Game Development. Specializing in VFX and Tech art.

I have lost count on how many jobs I’ve applied for (probably + 100 jobs) and since the gaming industry is looking the way it is right now, it pretty much seems impossible to get a job. Most of the companies are looking for seniors and the ones that are junior roles (which is not a lot, to say the least) have people appyling with 5 + years. That makes it pretty much impossible for a guy like me who has zero gaming industry experience to compete with.

So does anybody have any tips or advice on how to land a first job? Anything is helpful. :slight_smile:

Thank you in advance!
