What do creatives need to do to be seen when applying for jobs?
A stand out cv and a cover letter that shows personality? Not enough. A portfolio of work that shows drive, passion, creativity and a lot of promise? Not enough. Originality? Not enough. More than enough capability to be an incredible asset to most creative roles? Still, not enough.
This makes us question whether employers reject us before giving our applications a glance.
But the worst part, knowing that you’re the missing piece of the puzzle with that glimmer of hope that you will get the email stating that you have been progressed onto the next stage of the hiring process.
Rejection after rejection but we keep on going. But why? Everything happens for a reason and one day, an employer will reach out to you with the same feeling of hope you have when that job looks like the perfect fit. You’re a diamond in the rough just waiting to be found.
Keep on writing, keep on drawing, keep on singing, keep on recording, keep on creating. All you need is a single chance and everything will fall into place.
