A6: Initially go down the route that makes the most sense for you and how you learn. Not everyone’s the same. Some don’t have the focus to do self taught and other needs to be hands on in the environment.

Q6: More and more nowadays there’s a huge variety of ways to land a job as a creative, either through self taught or formal education. What’s your views on both of these, especially when progressing skills later on? #cbloggers

Q5: I think it depends on the role, the place of work and the structure. Some places want a generalist, some want someone focused.
For me tho it was definitely my willingness to be more diverse and try things like animation, along with print and digital design too. #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q5: When getting into the industry there’s a lot of talk of being a person of many talents, what do you think of this? Is it true? #cbloggers

I would say though, I graduated 6 years ago and have only got this opportunity now. So don’t give up and don’t stress about rushing in! I definitely needed a few years to figure it out #cbloggers

A4con: The application process can be long and tedious if you’re applying for lots of jobs over a long period, so definitely give yourself some short cuts. #cbloggers

A4: Definitely make the process easier by making templates and for your portfolio, have all your projects you would share laid out in a separate document so you can easily copy/paste them. #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q4: Applications are the worst thing when applying for jobs, how do/did you make the process easier and more efficient when looking for jobs? (In relation to CV’s, cover letters, portfolios, etc) #cbloggers

All the work I put into my blog/YouTube is what helped me. I think it’s good to show what you can achieve in your free time. #cbloggers

A3: It is super hard, especially when you get a lot of rejection. But a big thing to do when you are applying for jobs is try and maintain your passion and eagerness for being a part of the industry. #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q3: The creative industries career structure can be difficult at times. Especially as a new graduate, it can be hard to even get a foot in the door, what’s some things you feel make your stand out? #cbloggers

I’m just about to start in PR where I’ll be able to use a lot of my creative skills in my day job as well as my Etsy shop! #cbloggers

A1: I want to be working in an agency and have some freelance on the side as well. It’s stark contrast from my ‘now’ as I’m unhappy and not currently freelancing.. #cbloggers

A2: Only been in it a week like 😅 but I found my job through @ifyoucouldjobs! #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q2: How did you get/find your current job? Or if you aren’t working within the creative industries yet, what are some ways you know of? #cbloggers

Freelancing and working on my shop full time, currently working in a design agency and just doing it on the side! #cbloggers

A1: Long term probably at an agency focusing on brand direction but possibly part time doing some of my own stuff on the side focusing on lettering, etc. #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q1: What are you long term goals atm job wise? Do you want to be freelancing, working in an agency, etc? How does that contrast from your now? #cbloggers

Remember to be realistic in your valuing as well. It doesn’t matter if Joe down the road can do it cheaper- they can’t offer what you can.

A6: you’re always going to have that customer that wants it for free for one reason or another. Stand your ground and remember your value 1/

But also realise there are times when you DO need to invest. So when you do, be on the look out for discounts, voucher codes, etc #cbloggers

A6: Definitely realise that money isn't everything. There's so much you can do with basic tools and materials. #cbloggers teapawt.net/CBloggersChat/status/9…
Q6: What do you feel creators need to keep in mind relation to money when pursuing a new project/developing a current one? #cbloggers

Maybe try out the free apps, as there’s lots of them. Then consider which subscription one you absolutely need to finish up. #cbloggers
