I'll be honest here, I got this course out of desperation after 8 months of sending out applications everywhere with very little success. Now my mindset and strategy is different thanks to Rick, so now I'll start all over again with all Rick's tips

I received countless valuable information about the steps to stand out and get a chance in the industry. Honestly, I got emotional when Rick told "me" that I could make it if I put the work into it.

As a person who didn't learn much about how to get a job in the industry, this information was extremely useful for me to help restart trying to search for a job again in the industry. For me, learning about stuff that I feel like I wished I learned in college or high school about how to wow the decision makers in getting my dream job was really the thing that I liked about this course.

This course was exactly what I was looking for in my journey into the video game industry. The course provides great examples with Rick and Ben thoroughly explaining them and all other content very well, and provides very helpful tips on how to refine resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and building a portfolio in great detail - something I really needed as I felt I was struggling to make an impact in my job search but was stuck on what to focus on in each of these aspects of my overall professional profile. I have lots of work to do but with the content from this course I feel much better than before.

The course was very informative, helpful, encouraging, and most of all enjoyable to take and I highly recommend it to others.

Edit:
After going through 100% of the content I can tell that this was really valuable and very informative and useful information. This course is Gold and anyone should take this course to understand these fundamentals. I know there are many coaches out there trying to tell you different ways of getting a job or so, but Rick is different, he is a real world class instructor and a really good coach. I have a teacher very similar to him and I wish there were more people like this. Awesome work gamedev.tv!
