Recruiting

Stop by the Recruiting Desks to hook up with recruiters face-to-face, pass your reel to the top companies and find out what jobs are coming up and where to join the team. Some companies are in the midst of ramping up for next year's blockbusters and will be recruiting for the full four days.

Don't miss the Recruiting Presentations, either. Here, recruiters from the Animation, Effects and Games industry present their companies to a larger audience of job-seekers, talking about corporate culture, job prerequisites, upcoming productions and the specific qualifications that their companies are looking for. Tune in and collect first-hand information in a laid-back atmosphere of casual encounter.

This year's icing on the cake: the Recruiting Sessions. Focussing on the day-job situations, seasoned professionals will be passing on their knowledge and experience. No "ifs" and "buts", the bottom-line here is "What is it like out there, with the fire hose of reality splattering in your face?" Plunging into the torrents of the everyday job - its challenges, shifting requirements, and pitfalls - the featured speakers will be sharing their perspective on daily job routines, best practice in effective communication, and delving into the differences between being permanent staff vs. freelancer. When the fire breaks out, you're better off exactly knowing your soft skills - be it your ability to keep with the team, manage your personal time, or learn new abilities in the face of rapidly changing production environments.
