PERSONAL  STATEMENT  

  I   am  a  highly  motivated   graduating   student   in   ‘Game  Art  &  Design’.  Since   I   understand   the   importance   of   gaining   experience   through  working  in  a  team,  I  think  an  internship  in  the  game  industry  would  be   a   perfect   way   to   take  my   skills   to   a   higher   level.   Through   this  internship  I  can  experience  first  hand  what  it  is  like  to  be  working  in  a   professional   environment.   Moreover,   working   with   and   around  people  who  have  been   in   the  business   for   a   long   time,  will  help  me  creating  a  realistic  vision  of   the   job-­‐related-­‐future   that   lies  ahead  of  me.

During   all   of   the   above-­‐mentioned   jobs,   I   worked   within   a   team-­‐based   culture,  providing  a  quality  service  to  customers.  This  involved  organisational  skills,  patience  and  a  high  level  of  commitment.  Moreover,  I  picked  up  the  invaluable  skill  of  dealing  with  difficult  customers/parents  and  obtrusive  visitors.  Working  under  pressure  was  a  daily  reality.    

Also,   in  my  current   study,   it   is   custom   for  us   to  participate   in  different   ‘cases’  on  a  regular  basis.  In  these  cases  we  receive  an  assignment,  which  we  have  to  complete  in  3   weeks.   During   these   weeks   we   work   in   small   teams,   each   creating   our   own  concepts.   This  work  method   is   implemented  with   the   aim  of   preparing   us   for  our  future  work  environment.    

Given   the   fact   that   I   have   successfully   completed   several   of   these   cases,   I   am  well  prepared  to  function  in  a  dynamic  team-­‐based  work  environment.

INTERESTS     Games:   Games   have   always   been   a   passion   of   mine.   Up   until   now  they   still   manage   to   spark   my   curiosity.   Although   I   enjoy   them   in  every  aspect  (from  visuals  to  mechanics),  I  still  think  there  should  be  a  healthy  balance  between  games  and  social  life.      Technology:   In   my   opinion,   keeping   up   with   technology   is   a  necessity,   especially  when   confronted  with   it   on   a   daily   basis.   I   am  convinced  that  technology  improves  and  facilitates  our  everyday  life  and  therefore  we  should  embrace  it.  Acting   (drama):   Throughout   my   career   as   an   amateur   actor   and  assistant  director   in  my   local  drama  club,   I  have  gained  many  social  skills.   I   have   encountered   and   dealt   with   many   stressful   situations.  Playing  for  an  audience,  speaking  in  front  of  a  crowd,  controlling  my  nerves  and  being  flexible  in  finding  a  way  to  combine  this  demanding  hobby  with  school.
