Work Fitness Week Mock Interviews

Mock Interviews are something we take very seriously at Escape Studios. Last week we invited our students to register for a series of mock interviews with some of our industry partners and mentors, who kindly offered their time to give our students an idea of what a job interview is actually like.  Learning how to survive an interview is an important part of preparing our students for a career in industry.  Of course, the key to success in the animation, games and VFX industries is primarily about having a great demo reel, easy to find and well-presented.  Once a studio is interested in your demo reel, the next stage is the interview.   In the short video above I explain why we do mock interviews, and what they are for. 

Job Interviews

Once the studio has called you to interview, you know they like your reel and are interested in hiring you. Now they want to know - are you the kind of person who shows up on time and is nice to work with?

Work Fitness Week Centre
The event is part our Work Fitness Week which, as the name suggests, is all about making sure our graduates and Escapees are ready for the workplace.  

To book a place, our undergraduate and post-graduate students should go to the Work Fitness Centre online.

How to sign up
Our students can also book their place by emailing andy.brassington@escapestudios.com

Escape Method
Working with industry in this way is part of what we refer to as the Escape Method, a combination of intensive tuition, online tutorials, personal feedback, industry engagement, and group projects. 

Work Fitness Events

There are also other events in the Work Fitness calendar this October, all aimed at helping our students to gain a better understanding of the nuts and bolts of working in the animation and VFX industries.  To see more detail, check out the flyer above.
