It’s been incredible watching the video game industry practically explode since the 1980s, going from arcade cabinets made by handful of people to massive and immersive experiences that require the ingenuity and skills of hundred-person teams. And while it would be great to work on a project like Cyberpunk 2077, landing a job in the space can be just as difficult as any other industry. Perhaps even harder.

If you dream of contributing to the next big game or fantasize about starting your own video game company, Udemy is here to help.

In honor of National Video Games Day, we’re highlighting an online course titled: How To Get A Job In The Video Game Industry, which is on sale for $11.99. Normally, the course is listed at $94.99, saving you over 80% on this e-learning experience.

The great thing about the course is how general it is for the games industry, given the variety of jobs available. If you’re a programmer, artist, producer, or social media expert, there’s something here for you. But just because you have the skills or are qualified for the job doesn’t guarantee you’ll get it. 

The course will teach you how to stand out from the pack and show how you could contribute to the next Devil May Cry. The bundle includes over six hours of video, four articles, and four downloadable resources that will show you how to tailor your résumé for the video game industry, how to get relevant experience, and how to use LinkedIn to help you network. As long as you have some basic game creation skills and are passionate about video games, this course is right for you.

It’s difficult enough landing a job in any industry. If you feel like you need help trying to land your dream job working on the next Halo game, get this course from Udemy while it’s one sale.
