Will I need anything beside knowledge of 3d modelling and animation software if I want to apply as a 3d modeller and animator? I will be graduating from my IT course this year.
I know how to use 3ds Max, Blender and Photoshop well.
If you can be chosey, then by all means you can use a specific format for your resume. As far as I am aware, IT jobs pay well, and can be in demand, assuming you get into a field of your choice. What worked for me in the past is a “scatter gun” approach where I apply to maybe a dozen jobs, then get a few interviews, and then get a job. Well I’s on job number 16 so far…and yet so far…none in IT or animation…although I has come close to some movie big names.
I think that the most-important goal should simply be … “to get inside.” :yes:
My first job, uhh, a long long time ago now, consisted of tearing pages off of a line-printer and shoving it through the appropriate slot. (All computing at that time was time-share; the PC hadn’t been invented yet.) I didn’t care. I was on the other side of that wall, and I systematically parleyed that into a job that I kept all through school and for three years thereafter.
If you “know how to use X, Y, and Z well,” and are willing to learn, and are willing to start at the bottom, then seek out those opportunities. Once inside any door, make it clear that you want to learn. Then, take every assignment that you are given – no matter how menial it may seem to be – and give it your utmost. Ask sensible questions, but listen more than you talk. And you’ll be on your way.

----------Whether you like Bill Gates or not…this is pretty
cool. Here’s some advice Bill Gates recently dished out
at a high school speech about 11 things they did not
learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teaching has created a full
generation of kids with no concept of reality and how
this concept sets them up for failure in the real
world.
RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.
RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.
RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.
RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping
they
called it Opportunity.
RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest
from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.
RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life has not. In some schools they have abolished
failing grades and they'll give you as many times as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for
one.
