14. What was the task?
To move to a new city where I didn’t know anyone and no-one
knew me, to make friends, go to industry events, establish
myself and get a job within the social media comms space, all
largely through the use of digital tools.
I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
29. Actions:
Don’t be afraid to try. Failing is the best learning experience you’ll get.
Be passionate, interested and curious. No-one is an expert.
Take some time to figure out what you’re really in to. Having a job doing something you
genuinely enjoy is like being paid to do something you’d do for free anyway.
Find your voice. It could be by starting a blog, or writing for other sites/magazines. But only
write about stuff you have a real interest in, enthusiasm always shines through.
And if you’re more of a visual person, try Tumblr, Pinterest or even Slideshare.
Be careful what you post online. Once it’s on the Internet, it stays on the Internet.
I didn’t know what to do next. But I knew I had to get a job.
