Hey guys, so I'm going to a video game convention today and a lot of local game developers are gonna be there.

I'm hoping to do some networking and ask companies if they're looking to hire for any creative positions. I'm an artist who used to work for a mobile slot machine game company. My job there was converting the slot games that you see at casinos and put them on mobile and Facebook. I would resize the graphics, arrange the graphics to fit the templates for facebook/mobile and adjust the placement of said graphics with xml on y and x axis. Unfortunately I was laid off from this job early this year and have been unemployed since.

My dream job is producing the actual art for a game company, whether it's concept art, UI, storyboarding, etc. But I'm more than happy to find a job similar to what I did.

My question is, how does one approach a game company's booth and ask about job openings? I'm socially anxious so I'm not sure how to approach or even the first thing to say. I don't want to just walk up to an employee and say "hey your games are really cool, can I work for you?"
