Droga 5 Charlene + Dan

 

Last blog post? I don't think so. Writing on this blog is very therapeutic. It has helped to pen down a lot of my thinking and concerns. Based on the last presentation Grace and I had, we were happy to receive a follow-up email from Charlene. I was not expecting anything but it seems that she is happy to have a book crit with us. Although we did not get the placement, I find that someone who noticed us is half the battle won. In the meantime, Grace and I will be putting together a portfolio. It is very interesting to see how everything would turn out eventually. I've never imagine us to be partners but I honestly do not mind. 

To be fair, I felt peer-pressured to find a partner initially. To go for book crits alone is daunting, and the fact that some of the creatives from Young Creative Council has been stressing on finding a partner. It makes everything even more daunting. This has been on my mind for quite a while. Perhaps, with a partner, I would feel less lonely. But that being said, it doesn't mean that it is impossible for single creatives.

I still feel that we should keep an eye for other job openings as well and not be complacent about it. Wunderman Thompson has an opening for junior creative teams. I sent Grace the link to it. Once the portfolio is ready, we would sent out our applications.  On the other hand, I've dropped an email  last week to The Romans LDN. They are a PR company and I found the job posting on LinkedIn. A lot of their work are into experiential and social stuff.

Even though Uni has ended, all of the blog posts have shown how far I have come with everything. I used to think why would any full-time creative bother to talk to an undergraduate? I'm sure whoever it was must be busy as hell. But it turns out that people are willing to help and people do enjoy giving advice. Maybe one day I will also end up giving young creatives some advice? While I do not know how everything will unfold, I just feel that eventually we will all land somewhere. In the meantime, I hope Grace and I will land at somewhere good.
