........................... I have one more year left before I graduate and I will do my best to make myself a "worthy" candidate for these jobs. If I don't get a job I have to go back to my country where there are no AAA studios and very few opportunities. I know I'm asking for a lot but it would be awesome to get an insight from professionals rather than thinking what's wrong with me.

My Resume: http://i.imgur.com/gi03HRV.png

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT: Added link to my Resume.

Though your resume has outlined some very good documented facts about your skillset, your educational background and your game development/coding experience. IMO i think you also need to devote another paragraph that would indicate your passion and zeal for the position and career you seek.

Provided these do not violate the rules of what a resume should look like in the USA, then...

...in one or two short paragraphs, talk about your challenges while developing, talk about bottlenecks and how you solved it, talk about the late nights. Talk about a few "eureka" moments you had and how elated you felt when you had your current break throughs and the challenges you are still working on. Talk about what you expect for the future and your vision as a programmer if you were given the chance to join that great company. Talk about your ability to work well in a team (try to keep it short though so your resume would still be of reasonable size)

This would make it look less likely that a robot was behind your resume and more likely that a real person, smart, intelligent and passionate about game development, who pushes himself, and able to rise up to meet new challenges is behind the resume

Its not only about your education and what games you have completed, its also about how you can face tough challenges and your passion for the position

Need mentorship from a veteran programmer

It's a good idea to note what was challenging or interesting in the point-by-point breakdown of what you did on a project, but what you're describing here sounds more like what would be on a cover letter in the US, not on the resume itself.

That's very true. Even so here in the UK, what I advised is better suited for a cover letter rather than in a CV

I'm not sure though if cover letters compulsorily have to accompany a resume in the US
