Blue Zoo Recruitment Stand Tips

Blue Zoo's Bader Badruddin at an industry event

Blue Zoo, one of London's animation powerhouses, has offered their Top Ten "Recruitment Stand Tips" for students hoping to impress at a recruitment stand.

Some of the tips are pretty obvious (number 1 is "turn up"), but overall this is a useful and informative read on how to approach potential recruiters at an industry event. 

Knowing how to approach recruiters matters, especially for landing that all-important first job in the industry.

Meeting recruiters is one of the key reasons to attend festivals such as the VFX Festival, the Annecy animation festival, or FMX in Stuttgart.

When you meet a recruiter you have a chance to make an impression, and become a real person rather than just another anonymous cv in someone's inbox.

Our industry is a people industry; it's much easier to find work if someone on the inside knows you and feels they are likely to be able to rely on you.  Getting to know the recruiters is an important first step on the animation career ladder.
