3D Finding Work In London

[robert taylor]

Hi, Great advice 3D-IC, As for the rest ,"what the f.... is going on here !!!.

[RobODea]

I thought I'd tag into this thread as I'm just waiting to move into London (from Surrey).

My last full time job was working out in Spain as a Lighting Artist for a feature length animated film but I'm looking to perhaps shift into visualisation. Most probably starting off a junior for a while until I'm up to speed with the others.

 

I'll look back through this thread for tips anyway but I know this isn't the best time looking for any kind of work at the moment...I've got to give it a shot though.

 

Any more tips would be really helpful !

[RobODea]

Well, it's looking like we are finalising the place I'm moving into tomorrow...

 

This is either going to be the best or worst decision I've ever made in my life.

Good luck. Do you have a job lined up or just moving to the big smoke with fingers crossed?

Fingers and everything else crossed.

I didn't exactly pick the most budget place either.

So this is a seriously risky gamble but I've got to try.

Life's a gamble.

[RobODea]

Life's a gamble.

 

It's a cliche but a true one.

Well, we've got the keys now...the pad is all ours (lovely place too), so er I'd better find some work now

Hey mate,

I am in the same boat as you are- looking for 3d Architectural job in London. For the past 3-4 months I've been applying quite a lot, sending CVs, portfolios, registering with different agencies, contacting directly employers. So far- nothing, but this is mainly due to my complete lack of knowledge in AutoCad (which I am learning now).

Most of the job offers require 3DS Max ( only sometimes Cinema 4D), AutoCad and Photoshop/ Illustrator.

Luckily not many job offers require you to have a degree relevant to the job (luckily in my case since I studied IST here, not 3D). Most of the job offers require you to have a minimum of 1 year (2 years preferable) experience in a company.

So far I have noticed 2 or 3 short periods with no 3D visualiser job postings- I guess there is some "seasonal" aspect to it.

The websites I have most luck with (in terms of job listings) are so far:

1. http://jobs.trovit.co.uk

2. http://uk.jobrapido.com/

 

Sometimes even Gumtree can be helpful. I've seen 3-4 decent 3D Vis job postings there.

 

Lots of luck and keep your head up. It will happen.

Julian.
