So many things to say about this! So let's get down to it. 1 - Man, I LOVE that you always have some interesting stories to tell for the opening 2 - Marshall McGee! I miss this dude. I'm a subscriber to his channel since day 1. In fact, I found out about you through him! 3 - You have a podcast???? Ok, I'm certainly gonna give that a listen. 4 - DOG! Amazing video as always. Thank you!

I STILL get rejected for about 80% of opportunities. It's a normal part of the process! You'll definitely make it so long as you stick with it, keep learning, and keep putting yourself out there.

Trying to get a decent job in audio is like trying to find a dog who writes poetry. Technically it's possible, but it's extremely unlikely. If you apply for a job two days after it was posted, 500 people have already applied ahead of you. That is NOT an exaggeration. I have LinkedIn premium, and it tells you the numbers.
@AkashThakkarAudio Жыл бұрын
You're right. The application process is incredibly over-flooded, as is true in most fields. But if you take the time and effort to network, create, and share your work like we talked about here, it gets a lot easier you differentiate yourself in the field.
