thanks for the response!

First of all, i do not expect to get clear cut answer or some magic tips to get a job. I know i have to work hard, have a great portfolio, etc. I'm more interested about getting a discussion with people who are in the industry or know the industry well enough. I have a couple of questions on my mind right now to start up the discussion. If i'm aiming at a level designer job, does my past job in management is a good thing? (i see a lot of similarity in those 2, that's why i'm asking) In a portfolio, is it okay to have maps that are only blocked out joined with a LDD to explain in details the creative process and how the final result should be? I'm 25 years old at the moment and i will graduate by the end of this year, am i considered 'old' in the gaming industry? I played poker online and live professionally for 7 years, would that be considered as a plus? (I guess it greatly depends on the type of person they are looking for and the person who is leading the interview). I guess that's enough for now, thank you in advance. (I'm sorry if my English is bad, this is not my first language)

Hello everyone, I'm new here (only on this forum, not as a level designer) and I'm looking for level designers to build a Skype group where we can all talk about level design, engines, etc. I think it would be a great way to make friends, show your work and exchange tips. My Skype is: spexel1 see ya! (If you are already part of a Skype group, please let me know)
