i got an agency gig years ago, my first one, based on the fact that
a) they like my portfolio
and b) we'd gone to the same college..about a month into the job, the senior designer took me out for a drink..
he says 'ya know...i kind of assumed you knew a hell of a lot more than you really do.oh crap..thats it...im getting canned..
then he says..
but...you work hard..and the stuff you don't know, you seem to be picking up quickly enough..
besides, ... 6 years ago, i was in the same boat...it was his way of giving back to the community so to speak..
each of us crawls up, or gets a hand up when we start out..
in turn..if you're a decent sort..
you do the same in return..
help out the next cat down the rung on the ladder..when you get to be a senior designer, or AD..
don't forget what it was like to be young, inexperienced, and looking for work..
we've all been there...
