Job search question

Started by

I''m curious as to where one would go to search for a game development job? I live on the east coast in NJ, and have no desire to move to CA, or even Chicago, IL. Florida IS an option, but I would really like to remain in NJ for personal reasons. (No NJ jokes please. ) NY, NJ, even Delaware are options...possibly Pennsylvania and MAYBE Florida as well. Does anyone have any advice for someone seeking a job (Game Programmer/Developer) in the game development field in NJ? Yeah, yeah...I know...brush up your skills and write some games...but I like to know my chances in this area of the country before really putting tons of money and effort into things. Thanks!

Hey. I''m in NJ too, and from what I''ve seen there aren''t a lot of game companies on the east coast. They seem to be concentrated in California and Texas. Go figure.. I guess office space is cheaper. But if someone wants to prove me wrong I wouldn''t mind at all.
Here are some places to look and ask. You should find at least a couple of game companies in the areas you listed:

Thanks Ron/LordKronos,

I''ll look through those and see what happens, if I can''t find anything suitable I suppose I''ll have no recourse but to start one.
