I think of all of the talks we've been to Bianca's was the one that spoke to me the most. I made so many notes its easiest for me to put down my thoughts in bullet point format so here goes.
WHAT I GOT FROM THE TALK
- Its okay to be a jack of all trades, it just means you can be versatile once settled into a more specific roles and you can feed off of one skill into another.
- When struggling to find the drive because everything is going wrong, try tap into the good moments you remember.
- do PAID internships
- do what you enjoy
- DONT WORK FOR FREE (unless its for festivals)
- Be good to work with, be nice, and make friends, dont network
- Do a bit extra for clients
- Shit jobs take time away from good jobs
- Register as Self Employed
- Be a company, be your boss and yourself
- Be Consistent
- Get everything in writing
- Email after a meeting going over agreed upon terms
- Request 50% up front from big or difficult clients
- Dont burn bridges
- Send a reminder for pay after 30days (can even state in contract that price will increase if payment is late)
- Gumball is a cool show and is also hiring.
