Do you have a technical background and want to join the animation or VFX industries? Maybe you’re like me, and you graduated with a technical degree (for me, it was computer engineering), worked in another field for a while, and are now looking to work in animation or VFX. If this sounds like you, then this circle might be for you.

The goal of this mentorship is to help you get familiar with the animation and VFX industries and to help get you set up to find and apply for job opportunities in these industries.

Over the course of the circle, we will discuss:

• An overview of the visual effects and animation 3D pipelines
• How to create resumes & cover letters geared towards a new route while still making your previous experience relevant in the best way possible
• How to network and build connections
• The interview skills you’ll need to impress hiring managers
• What resources you can use to learn new relevant skills & have during a career transition
• The tough reality of a career transition, but the growth and achievements you will gain!

This mentorship circle is ideal for students and young professionals who come from a technical space and want to see what roles are in the industry and how to prepare for the transition. Having a background or knowledge in the CG pipeline is not required.

If you’re technical-oriented but want to try breaking into the animation, visual effects industry, or CG-related projects, this circle is right for you. This includes students in their final year of school, recent graduates, and people looking to make a career change.
