Hey jelly beans don’t forget when you’re working on your resumes that commissions 100% count as job experience! Label that shit ‘freelance work’ and name a few clients or projects!
freelance/commission skills:
- self directed
- incorporating feedback
- adaptable
- satisfying client expectations
- working closely with clients/ working one on one
- meeting deadlines
- communication skillsWhat counts as freelance work?:
- basically anything anybody asked you to do
- if it’s for a company or group name them
- if your mom or a friend or a stranger bought a painting or sketch from you they are an individual commissioner/client
(if your mom asked you to make something for her organization/club/publication/thing put down the name of that group as your client!)
- if you entered a contest with your work it was created ‘on spec’ (speculative basis)
- if you made work for free for a cause you believe in it’s ‘pro bono’
- sometimes personal projects are worth mentioning, it’s a ‘self initiated project’
TIP: if you worked and weren’t paid/weren’t paid a lot you don’t have to mention that you didn’t get $sYou don’t have to list every job you’ve done- go with a shortlist of the most exciting, while implying that you’ve done more!
If the job you’re trying to snag involves the art/design/the stuff you do, definitely make sure to include a link to your website, or a pdf portfolio! Make it easy to see your work!
