You don’t need a formal qualification to become a game designer. However, as with many technical roles involving some aspect of programming, computer science or digital design, there are increasing numbers of entry-level candidates coming into roles with a bachelor’s degree. Look into options for online professional certifications for game design-related skills to boost your chances of landing a role.
Check out our helpful guide to writing a targeted resume. One tip is to address the keywords used in the job description (e.g., particular skills or experiences the employer favors). This will vary from job to job as game design roles will often specify what software knowledge is needed. Addressing these keywords in your resume will help it pass reviews from applicant tracking systems (ATS) that hiring managers use to screen resumes.
