Whether you’re looking for a new career in mobile games, a brand new job or looking to level up at your current company – PocketGamer.biz is here to help.

Throughout January we’ll be running articles related to getting a job in the mobile games industry.

But we’d like your help too!

If you’re after some inspiration, topics could include:

  • How to bag that promotion
  • Moving from employment to indie development
  • What employers can do to make themselves stand out to job seekers

  • And any other ideas you can think of!

We're also putting together a Jobs in Games course for the Mobile Games University to offer job seekers top tips on bagging a new career or bagging that promotion.

So if you've previously written something on the topic that's still relevant today, let us know and we'll link to it!
