In episode 10 of the Game Industry Job Hunt podcast, we're hearing from gaming industry career coach and former Head of SEA Esports at Riot Games, Chris Tran. Not only is Chris full of great advice for every job hunter, but he also has a pretty awesome origin story. 

The current job market in the games industry can be scary, but scary is all relative. 
Chris went from the world of advertising to hiking in the mountains of Nepal, getting caught in an earthquake, and just trying to survive. After going through so much, Chris realized he needed to follow his dream of working in video games, which led him to Riot Games. 

After leading Riot's SEA Esports efforts for nearly 6 years, Chris found his way into coaching and has been helping job seekers in the games industry ever since.
