We’re back! We had a nice chat with Eden Lewis, an art director working at Edelman PR in New York. This EP is longer than normal...but it’s the 3rd EP so what really is “normal” anyways? Still, promise it’s worth it, especially for those transitioning out of school or looking for new gigs.
We talked about rethinking “relevant work experience”, learning from (catastrophic) failure, earning respect when starting anew job, salary $$$ negotiation, and much more.
A couple other things we covered:
4:41 — Why the story you tell about your career matters
9:56 — How references help you to communicate with other creators
13:44 — The “superpowers” you have as someone fresh out of school
17:01 — Best advice for people in school
17:39 — Working odd jobs
21:15 — Rethinking “related work” experience
22:39 — How can your find out what your future employer is about?
23:23 — Voicing what you believe in
24:57 — How can you make an impact?
34:46 — Finding hobbies outside of design
41:00 — Managing expectations as a student
50:12 — When things go wrong
50:50 — It’s ok to not know what you want to do
52:56 — Putting in the work as a brand new hire
57:54 — The impact of tiny decisions
1:07:06 — Salary Negotiation
1:10:01 — What happens when you ask for too little?
1:17:04 — When you want to take the job, but the money is too low
1:31:24 — Creative confidence
1:36:00 — Post-failure decisions
