Top Tips

  • Make sure your portfolio is easy to navigate. Keep documentation focused and clear, use bullet points to give clear narration. Don’t forget to check simple things like grammar and spelling! 

  • When showing work, make sure it is clear to see what your personal involvement was. At the end of the day, we are hiring you, not your team. 

  • Include a covering letter that shows what you know about Frontier, and why you want to work for us. Have you played our games? If so, tell us! There is a good chance the person you are interviewing with might have worked on that game!
