I'm helping some students figure out what's missing from their portfolios, so they can focus on what to improve. I wrote down a list of stuff I look for when evaluating new hires. I'm sure I'm missing some things. What do you look for? Any help is appreciated. EDIT: latest version is on our wiki...… -

Well tool programmers (to me atleast) would be programmers that handle access to your engine etc while a tech artist would be providing a pipeline for artists to make their lives easier importing to engine or doing x mundane task.

Re: What should be in your portfolio?
I think it actually makes sense to tailor your work to a specific company... if you really want to work at that one place. It's generally not good to place all your bets on one horse, as it were. But if you really want to be there, go for it 110%. Art Directors tend to get tunnel vision when they're deep in their project's…
