A friend already at the company referred me for the role.
A degree level qualification is obviously preferred, but a strong portfolio and the ability to demonstrate your understanding of the relevant fields (i.e. Flash, ActionScript, and OOP techniques) should do the trick.
Liaising with course writers and turning their ideas into something interactive and visual.
What was your best day at work?
My best day was when I fought (and won) to have a major project done in-house rather than outsourced. The project was fairly intense and was entrusted to me to do.
What was your worst day at work?
Making one of my team redundant.
Are there any perks to your job?
You get to work with other creative individuals and bounce ideas of them continuously. You’ll get to learn a lot from others and draw inspiration from them.
What do you like about your job?
It combines both elements of design and development which allows me to be really creative.
What don’t you like about your job?
Projects will often have tight deadlines, so you will often find yourself replicating rather than innovating. This can be frustrating sometimes because you’ll know that you could do something really fantastic with the brief but just won’t have the time.
Would you recommend this job to someone else?
Yes
