A CV layout guide for character modelers in the game industry

Excerpt

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey all, I've recently finished my Game Design Bachelor Degree and with no prior professional experience in the Industry want to look for starting positions and internships. I'm a intermediate 3D character artist in Germany and don't know what the ideal CV might look like. I often heard that different layouts are preferred in different fields (more aestethic in design and more minimal in other fields), but how do you know which one is best or is a standard like the havard layout the safest option? My question is if anyone knows which CV layout is preferred for this position or in Germany/Europe in the Game Industry?</p> <p>Edit: I know that the portfolio is the biggest factor in getting jobs at the end and honestly mine is not ready yet. I will try to get it to an acceptable state until the end of the year, but without a CV that won't make sense anyway. I'm just wondering how to approach it</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SmallMight302"> /u/SmallMight302 </a> <br /> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1up3msb/what_is_the_best_cv_layout_for_character_modelers/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1up3msb/what_is_the_best_cv_layout_for_character_modelers/">[comments]</a></span>
