Morning everyone! I wanted to know any advice other minds or similar creatives have for a newer multi specialist? What should a beginner know about the area of work?

I am a future animator, vfx, and voice actor, right now Im drawing more digitally and I work on personal video editing projects, no VA stuff yet.

I'll take equipment advice, getting work advice, intern advice, anything, I'm a learning young adult, any genuine advice is always welcome and appreciated! Thank you!

Keep experimenting until you find one lane and specialize. Being a generalist is great for personal projects but not to make money.

Don't wait for the "perfect" tools, equipment, or circumstances to begin. Use the resources available to you right now and upgrade as your skills and needs grow.

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.

Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
