Recapping this week’s DJH
Mindsets for Success
You Worked as a Waiter?

Own your past experience. Your skills are more transferable than you think.
Creativity is a Discipline
You don’t have to wait for the muses to beam down genius from the ether.
Creativity is not an accident or personality trait.
It’s forged by the force of habit.
Create to be a creator.

It’s That Simple
No, there are no official rules to job hunting.
No, you don’t have to apply on the job posting.
No, you don’t have to do anything.
Yes, you can just send a video pitch to the hiring manager.
Yes, you can just create a sample project to show your work.
Yes, you can stand out from the crowd offering to work for free.
Maybe it’s that simple.
