"What I thought I wanted when I got in the game industry and what ultimately made me happiest are very different things, and I wouldn't have learned that if I hadn’t kind of tried on different hats along the way." Everyone’s journey in the gaming industry is different, and it’s worth exploring opportunities, even those that weren’t part of the original plan. Just ask Susan Kath, Executive Producer at Zenimax Online Studios. Check out the entire discussion with Susan in the latest Open World Dialogue from Women in Games International (WIGI):
Selecting a character is a fundamental step for some games and can be daunting. Which character is the best? Which one has the best stats? Which one is the best for this stage? 😰 These questions and fears can also be similar to what you face in a professional setting. 💼 Which role is the best for me? What role do I play in this project? What role can make me the most successful? In this Open World Dialogue session, we’ll be speaking to Susan Kath, Executive Producer at ZeniMax Online Studios, about embracing different roles throughout your career. And just like in-game, you must be flexible and adapt to your environment to succeed! 💪 About our speaker: With over nearly three decades in the games industry, Susan Kath has garnered extensive experience in a wide range of roles spanning Marketing, Development, and Production on game titles ranging from casual to award-winning AAA projects for studios large and small. During 11 years with ZeniMax/Bethesda Softworks, she produced several titles, including Prey, for Arkane Studios before joining ZeniMax Online Studios where she is now Executive Producer for Elder Scrolls Online. This Open World Dialogue session is powered by our friends at Xbox 💚 🗓 Wednesday, July 10 🕒 3 pm PST/6 pm EST 🔔 Click "attending" below to get notified for when we go live! #GetWIGI #WomeninGamesInternational #OpenWorldDialogue #womeningaming #CareerBuilding #Adaptability #ChooseYourCharacter #CareerSuccess #Xbox #VideoGameIndustry #GamesIndustry #GamingJobs #AMA #AskMeAnything #LinkedInLive
