You've worked for years. Then you want to change career.
Suddenly every job asks for experience.Wah... all my old experience useless already ah? ๐
That's the idea behind Bungie Bound.
My example uses moving from audio into game audio, but the same question can apply to anyone changing careers.
Changing industry doesn't erase everything you learned.
Your old job may have taught you:
๐ค Teamwork
๐ง Problem solving
๐ฅ Handling pressure
๐ฅ Leadership
๐ฃ๏ธ Working with people
These skills may still be useful.
But the new job will also have things you don't know yet.
Instead of anyhow taking courses:
What skills do employers want?
What do I already have?
What am I missing?
Then:
Keep it.
Learn it.
Simple.
Don't collect certificates like Pokรฉmon. Learn what you actually need. ๐
For game audio, I may already have audio experience.
But gaming may ask for things like:
Sound Design
Wwise
Unreal Engine
So I'm not asking:
"Am I starting from zero?"
I'm asking:
Keep what you know
โ
Learn what's missing
โ
Build something
โ
Show what you can do
โ
Apply
That's Bungie Bound.
A personal career and data project. Job requirements change and no career path is guaranteed.
