Insider Insights Episode #3 | Want an esports job? Network, network and network some more!



As a jobs website focusing on esports, the question we’re asked most frequently is “How do I get into esports?”

While we’re always happy to give advice based on our own experiences and knowledge, sometimes it’s best to hear things straight from the source.

That’s why we started this Insider Insights content series: to provide a resource for people looking for some inspiration or guidance of how to begin their journey, by speaking to current professionals working in #esports about their own paths.

In this episode you’ll hear just how key it is to network in esports. Networking and speaking to people is advice you’ll hear given in most industries, though the value in esports really shines through from some of the personal experiences of the industry professionals we spoke to.

From how contacts built up in a pro gaming career can land you a job in esports to how having a network of people that work in the industry can alert you to job opportunities, there’s so many upsides to network in esports as early on in your career as possible.

Hopefully this video will guide you on how you can go about doing that and supply you with the motivation needed to make those connections!

If you’re ready to pursue your dream of working in esports, we post hundreds and hundreds of new esports jobs every month on https://hitmarkerjobs.com. Better yet? It’s totally free to sign up and search for jobs!
