5 Tips to Dominate LinkedIn for Gaming Jobs in 10 minutes

If you want gaming recruiters to notice you, your LinkedIn profile has to stand out in under 3 seconds. In this video, I break down the five LinkedIn optimizations that have helped my clients land interviews and job offers across the biggest studios in the world.

These are the exact strategies I use in my private coaching program, and they work whether you're trying to break into games for the first time or you're aiming to level up into mid‑senior roles.

We’re covering:

The featured section trick that gets you more recruiter DMs than your entire work history

The headline formula that gets you discovered in LinkedIn searches

How to add metrics and scale so studios immediately trust your experience

How to design a profile banner that makes you look like you belong in AAA

The profile photo rules that signal professionalism without breaking gaming culture

Most job seekers never learn any of this. That's why they stay invisible.

If you apply all 5 tips, your profile will communicate three things immediately:
You build things
You have all the skills they need
You understand the gaming industry

Because that’s what recruiters care about.
