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!

Thanks for this. Trying to land my first job now and the amount of rejection is really tough. Nice to get bits of encouragement like this.

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.
