Getting Started in Digital Media

Digital Media jobs can bridge a variety of industries including Tech, Animation, Visual Effects, Video Game Development, Healthcare, and Engineering. To begin your search, take advantage of your school’s alumni network and career services office. Utilize your friends and family network to setup informational meetings, construct and critique your online portfolio, and get tips on customizing your resume to make the best first impression.

Pro Tip: Remember to spellcheck your resume and keep it to one page! 


Navigating the Professional Digital Media Community

Get to know the creative professionals in your area through organizational Meetups, volunteering with non-profit associations, and industry-relevant events. Be sure to introduce yourself to all organizational representatives hosting an event. Existing employees are the first to know when new positions become available and you are more likely to get an interview based on a personal recommendation as opposed to a cold call or email.

Negotiating a Competitive Salary or Hourly Rate

Did you know that Texas is one of the few states in the US that does not collect state income tax?  States like California can collect up to 12.3%, Colorado collects a flat 4.63% and New York collects up to 8.82% (Nerdwallet). Understanding your salary needs and requirements can make asking for a competitive salary feel less daunting. Educating yourself with available resources is a good step toward a successful negotiation.

Pro Tip: Understanding Occupation Resources!  Did you know that Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) is how the government (local, state, and federal) uses your tax dollars to track and record information like wages, job growth, and economic impact for 800 different occupations? Some examples of SOC Codes and Digital Media Occupation Titles include:

  • 15-1131.00 Computer Programmers
