more than talent
A graphic designer/developer tweeted this the other day and I agree!
I remember in college a graphic design graduate I knew worked at 7-eleven. This scared the heck out of me! I thought "oh boy Amy Sharp you must be getting into the wrong profession..."(but of course I stuck with it) I will never know exactly why that particular person was not working in their field and I know other extremely talented designers right now in Oklahoma City who are without a job! :( I think companies and clients want to hire and work with more than talent.
A great graphic designer must be excellent at their craft, but they also must be:
- trustworthy
- responsible
- dependable
- hard working
- sociable
- agreeable
- confident
- appreciative
Michael Dick was right on by stating be as reliable as you are talented.
Do you agree?
