[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 38, Issue 12

Hello,
The thing is that if I apply for a job as CG artist for an ad agency
or as 3D artist/Animator for game industry and I have Blender as my
primary tool in my resume, potential employer will not even look at me
as prospective employee regardless of what my skills are. On the other
hand if I have official certification that states my skills in
particular areas, it would greatly increase my chances to get hired.
In US, it's mostly about certificates. If you have none, you are no
marketable. I would have to revert from Blender to MAX / Maya, spend
time studying them and take away time from creative process and
portfolio building, just to get a certificate that cost a lot of money
and get back working in Blender.
Thank you.
- Alexander "motorsep" Zubov
