How to Write a Cover Letter for Game Jobs: The Ultimate Guide

How to Write a Cover Letter for Game Jobs: The Ultimate Guide

A great resume might be the key to landing your dream job, but it won’t make a difference if nobody reads it. That’s where your cover letter comes in. A great cover letter helps you stand out from the crowd. And it makes that recruiter or hiring manager eager to learn more about you — rather than passing you over.

In short, a great cover letter can be your key to getting noticed, scoring an interview, and ultimately landing your dream job.

So let’s dive in and learn exactly how to craft a strong cover letter, step by step. We’ll offer specific advice, look at cover letter examples and samples, and provide a cover letter template you can copy-paste to get started writing your own.

Know your audience

The very first step — before you even start writing! — is to research the company you’re applying to. What games have they made? What’s their company culture like? What sets them apart from other game developers?

It might sound boring, but it’s an important step, because you’ll use this info to tailor your cover letter. You’ll show the company you’re a good fit by mentioning their games, and explaining why you love them.

So fire up your laptop, and start taking notes! Here are some ways to get started:

Visit the company’s website. Start by exploring the company’s official website to learn about their products, services, and mission statement. Especially check out their “About Us” and “ Careers ” pages, to get a feel for their culture, values, and work environment.

Read reviews and news articles. Look for reviews on websites like Glassdoor to see what current and former employees are saying about the company. Search for news articles and press releases, to get up to speed on their recent releases, partnerships, or controversies.

Dive into their social media . Follow the company’s social media accounts, for updates on their latest news. This can give you insight into their communication style, and help you understand their brand personality.

Study their games. Since you’re applying to a game company, you’d better make sure you’re familiar with their games. If you don’t have time to actually play them, you can watch gameplay videos and read reviews. Try to understand their game mechanics, art style, and audience. It will help you mention some specifics about their games in your cover letter.

Visit them at industry events. If you can, try to attend some game industry events, conferences , or webinars where the company will have a booth on the show floor or expo. You’ll learn more about their games, and — if you’re lucky — maybe even network with some of their team members.

Research their competitors. If you can get a sense for the company’s competitors, it can give you valuable context for your cover letter. Because when you know what sets the company apart, you’ll be able to emphasize why you’re specifically interested in working with them — instead of the competition.

Network with their employees . If possible, use LinkedIn to connect with employees who work at the company. If you have any mutual friends who can connect you (in person on online), that’s even better. Ask them about their experiences, and get their perspective on the company’s culture and values. You might even get some helpful “insider” interview tips.

Researching ever company you apply for can seem like a lot of work — and it is. But when you gather the info and use it to really customize what you write, your cover letter will be way more eye-catching. As a hiring manager myself, I can say for sure that the extra effort, and genuine interest, will get you noticed.

Tell a personal story

Why write a dry, boring cover letter? The best ones are personal, engaging, and (dare I say it?) even fun to read.

One way to do that, is to start with an interesting story about how you got into gaming, or maybe a project you worked on. Something that grabs the reader’s attention, and shows them why you’re passionate about making games.

But writing a good story (while also keeping it short!) can be challenging, especially if you don’t have any ideas to start with. So here are a few examples to give you the general idea. These examples are fake, but they’re realistic enough to make the the point. Read them over, then take a shot at writing one based on your own personal experiences.

Example 1: Game Designer

“Growing up, I was always captivated by the magical worlds of video games, and I knew early on that I wanted to be a part of creating those experiences. When I first played “Fiction Quest,” your studio’s groundbreaking RPG, I was instantly hooked. The intricate storylines, beautifully designed characters, and immersive gameplay truly resonated with me. As a result, I spent countless hours learning about game design and even created my own RPG in high school. That project taught me the importance of teamwork and communication, as I collaborated with friends to develop the game’s story, characters, and mechanics. Joining your team as a game designer would be the perfect opportunity to bring my passion and experience to life, while contributing to the continued success of your amazing franchises.”

Example 2: Game Programmer

“My journey into game development began when I discovered the joys of modding my favorite games. I was fascinated by the process of altering game mechanics, tweaking levels, and adding new content. This curiosity led me to join an online community, where I worked with other modders on a widely popular overhaul mod for “Blazing Blaster Battles.” During that project, I honed my programming skills and gained valuable experience in collaborative development. As a game developer at your studio, I’m eager to apply the knowledge I’ve gained from my modding experiences, and contribute to creating innovative and engaging games that captivate players worldwide.”

Example 3: Game Tester

“As a lifelong gamer and natural problem solver, I’ve always had a keen eye for spotting bugs and inconsistencies in the games I play. While others may find it frustrating, I see it as an opportunity to improve and enhance the game experience. In college, I joined a game testing club where we would volunteer our time to test indie games, providing developers with detailed feedback and bug reports. One memorable experience was when our testing efforts helped a small dev team fix a critical game-breaking bug just days before their launch. This experience solidified my passion for game testing, and reinforced the importance of our role in the industry. I am excited to bring this same dedication and attention to detail to your company as a game tester, ensuring your releases are polished and ready to delight players everywhere.”

Highlight your skills

Next, write a paragraph about your skills and how they match the list of “Requirements” in the job posting. Be specific about your experience, and use examples to back up your claims. And remember to keep it relevant to the role you’re applying for.

What if your experience doesn’t perfectly line up with the job description? Well, that’s actually pretty common — especially for people just starting their careers . What you can do instead, is focus on your transferable skills and relevant accomplishments . The trick is to explain how your existing skills could be applied to the new job.

Mapping the skills in the job description to your personal skills can take some thought. But here are some steps to follow:

Identify your transferable skills. Read the job description carefully, and make a list of the “Required” skills and qualifications. Next, think about your own experiences, and make a list of any transferable skills that you’ve developed. Common examples are things like communication, project management, problem-solving, and teamwork. Even if your experience is from a different industry, emphasize how those skills can be applied to the new job you’re applying for.

Draw connections. In your cover letter, draw connections between the skills you listed from the job description, and the transferrable skills you listed from your own experiences. Explain how your background has prepared you for the new role, even if it’s not a direct match. For example, if you’ve worked in bookkeeping for a small business, you can explain how your attention to detail and problem-solving ability are valuable skills for a game tester job.

Mention relevant accomplishments. Think about anything else you’ve accomplished that might show your ability to excel in the new job. It could be a successful project you completed on time, a challenging problem you solved, or an award you received. When you give concrete evidence of your capabilities that align with the job requirements, it makes a stronger case for why you’re a good fit.

Show enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Employers look for candidates who are eager to learn, and can adapt to new challenges. In your cover letter, express your enthusiasm for the role and the company. Then mention any steps you’ve taken to build your skills — things like attending workshops, taking online courses, or participating in game jams.

Show your personality

The game industry is all about creativity, collaboration, and fun! So let your personality shine through in your cover letter.

Use a friendly tone. Be natural. Be genuine. The person reading your letter wants to know you’re someone they’d enjoy working with.

Here are some writing tips for letting your true self shine through:

Be authentic. Write in a genuine and sincere tone that reflects who you are. Don’t try to sound like someone you’re not, or use overly-formal words just to impress the reader. Just be yourself — let your passion for game development come through.

Use a little humor. Adding a touch of humor can make your cover letter more fun. Just be sure to keep it professional — obviously, this is a time to avoid jokes that someone else might find offensive or inappropriate.

Be enthusiastic. You’re excited about the idea of working at this game company, right? Let that excitement come through in your cover letter. Use positive, energetic language. Show that you’re genuinely interested in the opportunity, and eager to contribute to the team.

Show your interests outside of work. This is optional, but if you want, you can mention personal hobbies that might be relevant or show your unique personality. For example, if you’re a volunteer mod for a gaming chat group, write about how your passion for inclusive communities has shaped your career aspirations.

Use a conversational tone. Write like you’re talking directly to the hiring manager, with a friendly and approachable tone.

Keep it short and sweet

A cover letter shouldn’t be a novel. Stick to one page, and try to make every word count. Be concise and clear, and avoid rambling. Remember the rule: less is more.

I don’t know why, but sometimes when people write cover letters, we tend to write in a dry, business-like manner. So, after you finish the first draft of your cover letter, take a look at this list of common “overly formal” phrases in the “Don’t” column, and change them to the simpler, more friendly phrases in the “Do” column.

Proofread, proofread, proofread

If your cover letter is full of typos and grammar mistakes, it really makes a bad impression. So read it out loud to catch any errors, then ask a friend or family member to check it for you. It’s always better to have another set of eyes on it.

Besides using your editing software’s built-in grammar and spell-checkers, you can take it to the next level using one of these great online tools to check your work:

Grammarly . This is a widely-used writing assistant. Sure, it checks for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. But it can also suggest improvements to your sentence structure, clarity, and tone. You can get it as a browser extension, desktop app, and mobile keyboard, so it’s pretty easy to access and use.

Hemingway Editor . This online tool analyzes your writing for readability — then it highlights complex sentences and suggests simpler alternatives. It also identifies passive voice and adverbs, which helps you create a more concise and clear cover letter.

ProWritingAid . This one uses AI to offer suggestions to improve your grammar, writing style, and overall readability. It also integrates with popular writing platforms like Google Docs and Microsoft Word.

LanguageTool. Its name might be boring, but LanguageTool is great. It’s an open-source grammar, style, and spell checker that supports multiple languages. You can use it as a browser extension, desktop app, or online editor.

If all this proof-reading and grammar-checking seems like overkill, let me assure you — it’s worth it. Typos in your cover letter give the impression that you don’t have good attention to detail, or that you simply don’t care.

You’re already putting so much work into writing your cover letter, why not make sure it’s the best it can be?

End with a “call to action”

For the very last paragraph, wrap up your cover letter by thanking the reader for their time, and inviting them to get in touch. Let them know you’re excited to discuss how you can contribute to their team.

This section can be short and sweet, because you want it to be as direct as possible. Here are a few examples of strong “call to action” paragraphs that prompt the hiring manager to take the next step:

  • “I’m eager to discuss how my skills and passion for game design can drive success for your upcoming projects. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule a conversation.”
  • “I would love the opportunity to explore how my background in game development aligns with your team’s needs. I’m available for an interview anytime, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.”
  • “I’m excited about the possibility of joining your team as a game tester, and I’m confident in my ability to contribute to your team’s success. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in more detail.”
  • “I believe my unique blend of creativity and technical skillls would make me a valuable asset to your team. I’d be thrilled to discuss how I can contribute to your upcoming projects during an interview.”
  • “I’m confident that my passion for the game industry, plus my experience in quality assurance, will make me a strong candidate for this role. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help your team achieve its goals.”

The idea is to end your cover letter with a clear call to action, encouraging the hiring manager to take the next step — calling you in for an interview.

Cover Letter Template for Game Jobs

There are a thousand ways to write a cover letter. But sometimes, the hardest part is just getting started. So here’s a template cover letter you can start with — just paste it into your writing software, and start fleshing it out with your own history and personality.

Dear [Recipient’s Name],

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the [job title] position at [company name]. As an avid gamer and experienced professional in the [relevant industry], I am confident that my skills and passion make me an ideal fit for your team. I have always admired [company name]’s innovative approach to game development and am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your upcoming projects.

In my current role as a [your current job title] at [your current company], I have gained valuable experience in [mention a key skill or responsibility related to the job]. One notable accomplishment was [describe a relevant success story, highlighting the positive impact on the project or company]. This experience has honed my ability to [mention another skill or responsibility], which I believe aligns well with the requirements of the [job title] role at [company name].

What sets me apart from other candidates is my [unique quality or skill]. For example, [provide a brief anecdote or example demonstrating this quality or skill in action]. I am confident that this background would allow me to bring a fresh perspective and creative approach to your projects.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address] to schedule a conversation. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further.

[Your Name]

Do I need to write a different cover letter for each company I apply for?

The short answer is, yes. Sure, it might be tempting to create a generic cover letter and send it to multiple companies — and many people do just that. But taking the time to write a unique cover letter for each application is crucial. Here’s why:

Shows genuine interest. Customizing your cover letter shows that you’ve done your research on the company, and you’re genuinely interested in the role. Hiring managers can easily spot a generic cover letter, and it gives the impression that you’re not truly invested in getting a job at this specific company.

Highlights relevant skills. Each job posting will have slightly different requirements, sometimes even at the same company. So writing a unique cover letter lets you emphasize your skills and experiences that are most relevant to the exact job you’re applying for.

Makes a stronger connection. A personalized cover letter helps you build a connection with the hiring manager. When you address them directly, discuss shared values, and talk about how your background fits the company culture, it makes you more memorable.

Is a cover letter required for a game job application?

Not every game job application will explicitly require a cover letter. Even so, it’s always a good idea to include one with your application. Besides all the reasons discussed above, a cover letter can include important information that’s nearly impossible to fit into your game resume .

Here are a few things that your cover letter can show, but your resume can’t:

Showcase your personality . A cover letter lets you inject your personality and passion for the game industry into your job application. This helps hiring managers get a better sense of who you are, and how you might fit into their team’s culture.

Fill in the gaps. Do you have any employment gaps, career changes, or other unique circumstances that might not be obvious from your resume? A cover letter gives you the opportunity to add context and explain your situation.

Be proactive. Even if a cover letter isn’t required, including one shows that you’re proactive and willing to go the extra mile. That can make a positive impression on hiring managers, which increases your chances of landing an interview.

That about covers it

Whew! You made it through. By now, I hope you have a solid understanding of why you need a cover letter, and the exact steps to writing one that’s super effective. And you even have a bunch of examples to get you started, plus a cover letter template to kick it all off.

Now it’s time to start researching those game companies you’re applying to, and then start writing a cover letter of your own. Follow the steps above, and you can’t go wrong. If you need any help, let me know in the comments below.

Write an awesome esports & gaming cover letter (with examples)

Write an awesome esports & gaming cover letter (with examples)

Ah, the cover letter! Possibly the most underappreciated part of the application process.

Well, no longer we say! We're here to show you the value of a great cover letter and to tell you exactly how to write one.

The first thing for you to consider is that your cover letter is probably the first thing a hiring manager or recruiter will read about you.

This means that it's your true first impression, and we all know that first impressions really count. So don’t let a bad cover letter be the excuse a hiring manager needs to toss you onto their “no” pile!

Here at Hitmarker, we’re all about getting people into the “yes” pile, so let’s get to it!

1. Approach

We’re going to lay out what we believe to be the ideal way to structure a cover letter based on our experience of dealing with good, bad, and average cover letters on a daily basis.

This is the general template that we’ve seen have the most success at getting candidates to the next stage of the application process. We’ll also throw in a full example at the end, for good measure.

If you prefer to learn through videos rather than articles, we've also collated all the cover letter advice we've gathered over the years into an in-depth course on Skillshare. In this, we go lesson-by-lesson through each objective of the cover letter and how to achieve them.

→ Continue this course on Skillshare and kick off a FREE 1 month trial

If you prefer a written guide, then we'll start with the easy part of the cover letter: those first few words.

2. Salutation

A “salutation” is how you address the person you’re writing to, and on a cover letter there are a number of variants we see regularly:

  • Dear Company Name,
  • Dear Hiring Manager,
  • Dear Sir/Madam,

All of these are perfectly fine (with the exception of “To whom it may concern”), but we’ve seen that for community management , marketing and social media roles, the more informal “Hi there,” is a great choice.

The type of career you’re going for plays a big part here, as does the level of the job you’re going for. If it’s a more senior and serious type of role you may want to start with one of the top three from this list, but if it’s more junior and informal then look towards the bottom of the list and go with one of those.

We've also written an advice article on creating a cover letter for internships , so if that's the area you're applying in then we'd recommend checking that out too.

Most importantly, pick a salutation that suits your own character. You want your personality to shine through in this document, and this is how you set the tone from the very outset.

3. Beginning

The first paragraph of the cover letter is undoubtedly the most important because it’s your chance to really engage the hiring manager, so no half-assing!

  • First, we want you to get across your obvious excitement at finding the role.
  • Second, we want you to compliment the company you’re applying to and show that you have some knowledge of them and what they do.
  • Third, we want you to tell them that you’re an excellent candidate for their advertised position.

Let’s jump back and talk more about that first sentence…

So many times we see people open with something like “I was interested to see your advertisement for a Social Media Manager on Hitmarker.”

This isn’t good. It’s not engaging, it shows very little enthusiasm, and it’s not going to encourage a hiring manager to want to keep reading.

However, some subtle tweaks can make a lot of difference…

“I was very excited to see your Social Media Manager position being advertised on Hitmarker, and knew I had to apply as soon as I could.”

Do you see the difference here?

The enthusiasm shines through and you’ve instantly got the hiring manager on your side because they want people to feel excited about their job. Now it’s time to butter them up a little bit more with a compliment about their organization AND to show off your knowledge of their company.

If you don’t have true knowledge of who they are, then take the time to do some research. Hit their company website (particularly the About page), check out their socials to see how they interact with people, and try to get some third-party views of them from the media (if they’re big enough) and from what people say about them on Reddit or X (formerly Twitter).

Now that you’re prepared, say something nice about their organization and talk about how you’ve followed them for a while, but if you can be more specific, that’s great.

Then it’s time for the really important part. While you’ve got them smiling, tell them WHY you’re the ideal candidate for them. Look at the top three requirements from their job post and knock them off one by one. Typically, the top requirements in a job description are what's most crucial to a company.

Do this by using your previous experience, ideally, but rely on your personal qualities and education if you have to and don’t have the experience required.

You want the hiring manager to come out of your opening paragraph excited and thinking “we’ve got a good one here!”

Read it over and over again to make sure you’ve achieved this, or get a family member or friend to check it for you if you’re not sure.

Not just the best song ever written (thank you Jimmy Eat World), the middle is also a hugely important part of your cover letter!

Now you’ve got the hiring manager excited it’s time to tell them more about your professional experience and personal character. This is your big chance to sell yourself, so don’t let it slip!

You can do this well in a few ways:

  • If you have the previous experience that fits the role then lean heavily on that and talk about your achievements in the roles you’ve had.
  • If you don’t have the experience then lean heavily on the character traits that would make you a good fit for the role and your love for the gaming industry.
  • If you have something relevant from your education (even if it’s something from school) then don’t be afraid to mention that either.

If by the end of this paragraph you can show them that you’ve had prior experience that makes you a good fit for the role, you have the character traits that make you a good fit for the role, you have the education that makes you a good fit for the role, AND you’re already tuned into the gaming scene then you will have almost sealed the deal.

We haven’t been too hands-on with this part because it’s such a personal section, but make sure it doesn’t repeat too much from your resume .

You want to focus on showing why you’re a great fit for their job role first and foremost, so keep that job description to hand while writing and keep referring back to it!

Now it’s time to finish strong by filling in any gaps left over from your second paragraph.

By this point, you should have sold the hiring manager on your suitability for the role from a technical perspective, but they probably want to know a little bit more about the person behind the words.

So, if you’ve mainly talked about your relevant skills and fit for the job, then it’s time to speak a little bit about your characteristics and professional approach.

People like to hire someone they can relate to and feel like they’d enjoy working with, not just someone that ticks all of the requirement boxes.

With this in mind, don’t be afraid to be you!

The best cover letters we see have a healthy dose of honesty in amongst everything else. Talk about your passion for gaming, talk about any other passions you have that are relevant to the role, and don’t be afraid to discuss the path you’ve taken in your career to date in an open and honest manner.

Finish off by saying that you know you can bring a lot of value to their team and are ready to take the next step in your career by joining them.

6. Sign-off

We always like to recommend a simple, confident sign off that leaves the path clear for the hiring manager to reach out to you.

Something like, “Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon!”

Don’t worry about being too formal here, just encourage action and make it seem like you’re confident of landing the position. This puts the ball in their court and should be a strong ending to a very strong document.

The only thing to avoid is being overly confident to the point where it comes off as arrogant. Ending with something like, "I can't wait to be your next hire!" is rarely going to land well, even if it's well-intentioned. Stick with something respectful and professional so as not to sabotage yourself at the final hurdle.

7. Finishing touches

If you really want to put a bow on things we have a few more tips and tricks up our sleeve…

If you’re sending the cover letter as a document attachment then try to match the font and styling to what you have used for your resume. We always recommend going with a clear, modern font that is easy to read (something like Open Sans ) and putting the cover letter as the first page in a two (or three) page PDF document.

DO NOT simply save the file as “Cover Letter.pdf”. A hiring manager in gaming will get a ton of applications for every given role; don’t be one of those people who can get lost in the shuffle by failing to add their full name to the document title. You don’t want to give anyone a reason to forget your name. Save the file as firstname_lastname_cover_letter, or something equivalent.

Finally, don’t just copy and paste the same cover letter over and over again. Tailor each cover letter to each role you apply for — hiring managers can spot duplicated cover letters at a hundred yards! Yes, this takes effort, but it’ll pay off in the long run!

With all of that being said, how about we show you how we would apply for a social media manager role with our own company?

As an avid Hitmarker user, I was excited to see an opportunity with your organization on the board yesterday and knew I had to apply as soon as I could. I have been on your website every day for the past few months and find it to be the best resource for jobs in the gaming industry, so I know it would be great to be a part of your team.

As someone who has managed social media accounts for numerous growing gaming organizations over the past few years, I know what it takes to build a following, and my previous customer service experience outside of games means I would be very capable of dealing with your users on a day-to-day basis. In addition to this, I have regularly used Adobe Suite for over three years and consider myself an expert with Illustrator and Photoshop in particular.

Becoming Hitmarker's new full-time Social Media Manager would be the next logical step in my career after working on a freelance, part-time basis in the gaming industry for the last three years. I have taken newer organizations like Team X from a few hundred Twitter followers to over 10,000 by creating unique content and using tools like Buffer to schedule posts to land at the most impactful times.

My extensive graphic design experience and strong command of the English language means that I could be described as a Social Media Machine. I turn up fully committed every day of the week and love to have a personal investment in the brand I represent. I feel like I can adapt to become the voice of any organization due to my immersion in the industry.

In my spare time, you’re most likely to find me watching or playing Warzone, keeping up with the latest fashion trends or researching successful social media accounts from outside of the space. I am also a huge sports nut and a keen reader, with autobiographies being my preference on that front.

I know I can be an immediately-contributing team member to Hitmarker because my familiarity with your brand gives me a head start on 99% of the other applicants you will get for this great role.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

You’ll see it doesn’t follow our advice to the letter but a lot of the same themes are applied and it fits nicely on one page!

We don’t know about you, but we’d definitely give this guy an interview...

Professional game developer cover letter tips to help you stand out.

Game Developer cover letter

You probably know that cover letters complement resumes and that recruiters just love asking for them. But why are cover letters important?

Well, because they are your chance of telling a story.

And let’s face it – listing different skills and achievements on your resume is essential. But connecting the dots in your cover letter and explaining what’s helped you gain expertise will make you stand out.

Read our proven Game Developer cover letter tips and examples below.

game developer coverletter.png

So what does a good cover letter look like?

Well, it’s written in a tone of voice that matches the specific company’s culture, and it’s not just a long-form resume. It’s also focused on making the right impression.

We advise you to talk about your achievements, goals, and motivations, rather than just plainly listing your skills and experience. Try to tell a personal story.

And if that’s not enough, we have some additional pro tips for you.

Use an appropriate salutation and write a powerful introduction

Choosing the right salutation might be tough – we get it. After all, you don’t want to sound way too formal or too friendly.

There are some things that should definitely be taken into consideration when it comes to addressing your cover letter. First and foremost comes the recruiter’s name.

Even if you don’t know who the person reading your cover letter might be, try to find out. Check company websites or social media profiles or even media articles.

If this doesn’t help, you can go for traditional gender-neutral salutations that don’t require knowing the hiring manager’s name.

Here are some of our favorites:

  • Dear Human Resources Manager,
  • Dear Mr. Johnson,
  • Dear Head of [team you're applying for],
  • Dear Nathan Lovelace

The introduction of your cover letter is the first thing the hiring manager will read. Logically, having a strong introduction is your chance of getting their attention.

In order to do that, you need to get creative. Don’t just do what everyone else’s been doing for years, i.e. writing “I found this job opening on that website and decided to apply”.

Rather, show that you are genuinely excited about the position and the company. You could do that by mentioning your love for the industry or what you can bring to the table.

Talk about your hard and soft skills

Although you’ve probably listed all your skills on your resume, it’s worth mentioning them again, but by telling a personal story. Focusing on your soft skills and leaving most hard ones behind is also a good idea.

Maybe you want to mention the things that help you overcome setbacks? Or the things that help you reach your goals? It doesn’t really matter what you choose, as long as you link it back to the specific job requirements.

Naturally, if the job advert mentions some hard skills explicitly, you should do the same in your cover letter. This will help you pass applicant tracking systems (ATS) that screen resumes and cover letters for certain keywords.

Show that you know the company and its problems well

How can you prove your excitement about the company? By showing that you’ve taken the time to research its issues, goals, and plans. You can also link them to your skills and experience if you want to show that you're really a strong candidate.

In addition to making a great impression, researching the company will help you find out if you really want to be part of this team or not. After all, interviewing is a two-way process.

Choose the right closing line

Ending your Game Developer cover letter in a suitable way can help you land an interview. Why? Because strong endings portray applicants as considerate and, what’s even more important – passionate about the job.

Just make sure that your ending (just like your cover letter’s body) matches the company culture. If you prefer to be on the safe side, go for traditional closing lines such as “Looking forward to hearing from you”.

But what exactly does this structure entail, and what key elements should be included in a Game Developer cover letter? Let's explore the guidelines and components that will make your cover letter stand out.

Key Components For Game Developer Cover Letters:

  • Your contact information, including the date of writing

Cover Letter Header

A header in a cover letter should typically include the following information:

  • Your Full Name: Begin with your first and last name, written in a clear and legible format.
  • Contact Information: Include your phone number, email address, and optionally, your mailing address. Providing multiple methods of contact ensures that the hiring manager can reach you easily.

It's important to place the header at the top of the cover letter, aligning it to the left or center of the page. This ensures that the reader can quickly identify your contact details and know when the cover letter was written.

Cover Letter Greeting / Salutation

A greeting in a cover letter should contain the following elements:

  • Personalized Salutation: Address the hiring manager or the specific recipient of the cover letter by their name. If the name is not mentioned in the job posting or you are unsure about the recipient's name, it's acceptable to use a general salutation such as "Dear Hiring Manager" or "Dear [Company Name] Recruiting Team."
  • Professional Tone: Maintain a formal and respectful tone throughout the greeting. Avoid using overly casual language or informal expressions.
  • Correct Spelling and Title: Double-check the spelling of the recipient's name and ensure that you use the appropriate title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr., or Professor) if applicable. This shows attention to detail and professionalism.

For example, a suitable greeting could be "Dear Ms. Johnson," or "Dear Hiring Manager," depending on the information available. It's important to tailor the greeting to the specific recipient to create a personalized and professional tone for your cover letter.

Cover Letter Introduction

An introduction for a cover letter should capture the reader's attention and provide a brief overview of your background and interest in the position. Here's how an effective introduction should look:

  • Engaging Hook: Consider including a compelling sentence or two that highlights your unique selling points or key qualifications that make you stand out from other candidates. This can be a specific accomplishment, a relevant skill, or an experience that demonstrates your value as a potential employee.
  • Transition to the Body: Conclude the introduction by smoothly transitioning to the main body of the cover letter, where you will provide more detailed information about your qualifications, experiences, and how they align with the requirements of the position.

By following these guidelines, your cover letter introduction will make a strong first impression and set the stage for the rest of your application.

In my current role as Lead Game Samurai at Jippity!, I energetically navigate 6 ninjas across 3 time zones to produce some of the world’s most entertaining games (Jipp-Snap, Jipp-Zip, and Jipp-Quip: that’s us!). I coordinate with Product, Player Services, Art, Engineering, Marketing, and QA to define and agree content, project schedules, release plans, and development tasks for up to 3 games simultaneously.

Crucially, I implemented post-release immersion sessions for the team to deep-dive into player feedback and better deliver truly epic experiences.

In addition to my production and design experience at Jippity! and Giggle Productions, I hold a Master of Game Design, a Bachelor of Software Engineering, and am a total rock star at Jira, Confluence, C, C++, Assembly, Java, and Visual Basic. I’m familiar with both Waterfall and Agile.

When writing your cover letter, be sure to showcase your knowledge of video games and the gaming industry. Talk about the games you’ve played in the past and how they’ve influenced your life. You can also mention any awards or recognition you’ve received for your work in the gaming industry.

3. Tailor your cover letter to the job description

The best way to make sure your cover letter is tailored for a specific job is by paying close attention to the details of the position.

If there are any additional requirements or skills mentioned for that job, also list them on your application; this will help make it clear how you can meet their needs.

Proofreading your cover letter is the first step to landing an interview for a game tester position.

Shaq and Charles Barkley laugh off NBA analyst's diss

A fter Kendrick Perkins this week accused  Inside the NBA personalities Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal of not watching basketball enough to cover the league properly, the two responded on Tuesday night’s broadcast of the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Heading into commercial, TNT flashed a video from X of Blake Griffin dunking on Perkins to commemorate Griffin’s retirement with one of his signature highlight plays. Only rather than leave it at Griffin, the  Inside hosts used the opportunity to dig at present-day Perkins as well.

“We don’t watch the Knicks games, Chuck, but I watched that game,” O’Neal laughed.

Barkley equated O’Neal giving Perkins the time of day with “killing roaches.”

“I ain’t going to even give no love to a guy who averaged five points per game,” Barkley added. “Five points a game gon’ call me out?”

Perkins averaged 5.4 points per game during his 13-year NBA career.

The accusation from Perkins came this week on The Michael Kay Show  after Kay asked Perkins why O’Neal and Barkley doubted Jalen Brunson and Co. so deeply. Throughout the season,  Inside the NBA has consistently trashed New York’s playoff chances. Perkins responded that the two veteran NBA big men must simply not watch the Knicks (or maybe the NBA) enough.

Never the types to let these slights go, O’Neal and Barkley were in vintage form simultaneously dismissing Perkins and shredding him.

But the whole Inside the NBA crew deserves some credit going to bat for their guys. The producers clearly teed up that highlight to bring Perkins up in the studio, while anchor Ernie Johnson probed the guys by asking if they had watched that Clippers-Thunder game from a decade ago.

You come at the kings, you best not miss.
