Hey y'all, I applied for a jr production coordinator position at a game studio a few days ago. I've never been in the industry so I don't know how long I should expect to wait to hear back. Do studios generally move slow for lower level positions? How long should I wait before reaching out? Should I reach out at all? Had a…
Keep in mind, it's around this time (April/May) students are now graduating from colleges/universities so I wont be surprised if studios right now are being flooded with thousands of applicants. I would strongly advise looking around your area/state and see if there are any job fairs being held at schools, especially…
It sounds like a low lever producer / production assistant gig. All in all, it wouldn't be far off from what I do now as a production manager in a light manufacting environment. Just without back breaking labor and I'd get to see awesome artists at work. @Biomag stay strong dude!

I get the impression it's basically just being a gopher, or a low level producer. Here are the major duty breakdowns: Assist the Production staff in all areas related to the development process. Help track and maintain all production schedules. Facilitate team communication, ensure timely dissemination of information.…
@JordanN It has nothing to do with patience, but with lack of alternatives. In the meantime I am also applying elsewhere, but my skill level seems to be too low to attract offers, making it hard to not play along. @defragger A year?? Did they pick someone else and then changed their opinion or where they just building up a…
