It’s amazing that portfolio schools are still pumping out juniors left and right w/ barely any job prospects beyond freelance and yet, charge these kids major $$$. I gotta get in on that action.

Are incoming students aware of how bad it is? Or are they still watching Art and Copy and dreaming about the chance to change culture with a big idea?

I also wonder how stunted these juniors are going to be by the time they’re senior level b/c they’re not in one place long enough to really learn anything?

I never went to portfolio school, but I wonder if I should start shooting stock images whenever looking for them on Getty.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions).

Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅
