Hey there /v/, I come to you all in a very distressed state.
I've recently graduated from University in 3d Animation and am trying my damnest to find a job in the video game industry here in Montreal.
Problem is, all the places I go to require a minimum of three years of industry experience...
gods please help
Are you a nigger or a dyke ?
If not, God save you.

go indie on steam/gog first so you can build up a portfolio/pedigree.
or since you're an animator try to get a popular/acclaimed animated series onto youtube/some flash portal or something

Lad up there is right, there's a guy called Hyper on youtube that did stupid meme reload animations.
thanks to that he got a job at Respawn.
Pretend to be trans. Bioware will hire you
Listen to the two giving actual advice. That Hyper dude literally did nothing but meme animations and then got hired on for a fucking triple A studio in pretty quick time. He might be there still, maybe not, but as far as I know all he does and likely did there were reload animations. Make a strong effort to actually do it. You're essentially an artist so unless you want to work for an ad company your personal excellence is what will make you meaningful. Oh, you could also try working on a heavy portfolio of structures and architecture in hopes of being asked to work as a "designer" for architectural firms. As far as I know they still have little of the drafting being done as models with most of it being done entirely as hard to market draftwork instead of the artist's rendition of the completed project.

welcome to any job ever, also welcome to the real world, by the way most of what you learned in school is already obsolete!
don't worry though, I'm sure you'll find a nice cozy fast food restaurant where you can put your skills to good use, make sure your resume says "fucking stupid" and you'll get in without problems
