Vic Hood – Video games journalist

Highlights:
Got into video games early with her dad playing Tomb Raider and playing games with her cousins.
She even wanted to be a pro gamer as a kid.
Went the route of creative writing and journalism and got an internship at Eurogamer.
Love digging in for the deep stories
Most people are willing to help, they want to see people succeed.
Colleagues offer help when you mess up

Protip if you're emailing people your CV:
🎮Include your name in the filename, as the recipient might get a lot of CV's. If I want to forward your CV in a mail its easier for me to find 'CodyMcSkillsberg_CV.doc' than 'CV.doc'. #gamedev #gamejobs
Another reach-out for freelance game programmers! Twitter, could you help me with a RT and tagging people in please?
No work available at the moment, looking to grow my network for potential future things. It'd be great to know if you specialise in Unity, Unreal or C++ too!
