In my view, the most valuable part of this lecture was that it prompted me to reflect on my existing abilities. I did begin preparing my resume, searching for jobs, and submitting applications through various companies’ official websites. However, the instructor mentioned something during the presentation that gave me pause: if a perfectly suited job opportunity were to suddenly arise tomorrow, would I be ready to apply for it right away? This prompted me to reflect on whether I truly possess the competence required to step into a professional role.
Reflecting on the projects I’ve completed so far, it seems that while they are finished, they haven’t led to any significant growth in my professional expertise—nor have they brought my skills to a level that would qualify me for a professional role in the field.
Furthermore, I noticed a very important point in her speech: the need to learn how to showcase your abilities to the company or interviewer. This is also one of my current shortcomings; I haven’t shown my channels to others.
Based on the two points above, I have a clearer understanding of my future and have formulated a new plan. I will use actual demo creation to improve my professional skills and familiarity with game engines, and I will create my own professional portfolio website to showcase my future demos and demonstrate my abilities.
