Being an international student, the list of filters I have to look for a job is a tad bit longer than the local students. I want to look out for jobs that can help me with Visa sponsorships and be a steady source of income. I also want to work in a roles that are global so that if in future, I have to relocate, the transition is relatively smoother. I want to club my previous work experience with corporates as a marketer, with my newly acquired animation skills.

Challenges

• Visa sponsorship: As an international student, you will need to find a company that is willing to sponsor your visa. This can be a lengthy and complicated process, so it is important to start early.
• Relocation: The animation industry is global, so you may need to relocate to find a job. This can be a challenge, especially if you are not familiar with the visa implications.

Opportunities

• High demand for animators: There is a high demand for animators in the global market. This means that you have a good chance of finding a job, even if you are an international student.
• Competitive salaries: The salaries for animators are relatively good. This means that you should be able to make a comfortable living, even if you are working in a developing country.
• Global opportunities: The animation industry is global, so you have the opportunity to work all over the world. This can be a great way to experience new cultures and meet new people.

Combining marketing and animation skills

My previous work experience as a marketer can be a valuable asset in the animation industry. Marketers are responsible for creating and executing marketing campaigns. This includes creating advertising materials, developing marketing strategies, and managing social media accounts.

My animation skills can be used to create marketing materials, such as animated commercials, explainer videos, and social media graphics. I can also use my animation skills to develop marketing strategies that incorporate animation.

By combining my skills, I can create a unique and valuable skillset that is in high demand in the animation industry.
