I think the content is there, but you could keep the structure without making it too explicit.

Something like this should set the tone up for an interview -

Hi I'm ... studied business informatics because I'm interested in the intersection between business world and the computer world. Upon graduation I realized I wanted to understand human psychology better so took that up formally. This eventually led me to game studies. I'd say that makes me come across as a curious person which I identify with.

Over the past 8 years I became a teaching assistant, a coach for teaching assistants, a bootcamp instructor and a programmer/web developer. In total I have about 2.5 years of work experience including 1.5 on teaching development to others.

P.S. Based on my experience, "applied to any job that didn't feel like work" is something better left out from an introduction for a job interview.



You have a point, thanks for the tip!

Also, I feel that you're right with:

> P.S. Based on my experience, "applied to any job that didn't feel like work" is something better left out from an introduction for a job interview.

But I wouldn't be fully to explain why. IMO if something doesn't feel like work but play, it means your energy capacity of it is really high.

I feel that the message is being misinterpreted for having a lack of responsibility or something, but that's not the case.
