What are main points that make your application look great for us at YAGER?
1. Custom CV for YAGER - great! But beware that overly "unique" with unusual formatting and images can be hard to interpret.
2. Cover letter always - one page is more than enough to tell us more on why we should hire you and what motivates you to join YAGER (don't make them a novel).
3. Be swift and quick! But don't do that at the expense of quality.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Allan Cudicio, who graciously shared his journey from Game Designer to CEO and owner of his own gaming company, highlighting the lessons and challenges he encountered along the way. With over a decade of experience in both large and smaller gaming companies, Allan, an Italo-Ghanaian game designer, embarked on his own venture.

Currently immersed in the development of his own game projects, Allan's expertise spans both gaming and entrepreneurial realms. His insights into fostering successful, diverse, and inclusive environments were invaluable.

Allan emphasized the importance of continuous improvement on the path toward creating a company where everyone feels a sense of belonging and significance.

We extend our gratitude to Allan for his wisdom and engaging discussion. We thoroughly enjoyed his talk and eagerly anticipate hearing more about his insights at GDC!

(In the picture, Allan is talking about the social impact of Spec Ops: The Line, kindly reflected on by - a game that resonated deeply with many of you, in part due to it's impactful messages.)
