Over the last ten years, the creative world has gotten fatter and fatter. You might be on the chopping block at your in-house creative job.
How to Prepare for the Worst
If you’re in-house, prepare for the worst. The younger/less experienced you are, the more likely you’ll be let go.
Have your portfolio and website up to date (Today is May 26, 2020).
Keep in contact with colleagues outside your current job
Start creating thought-pieces, and hefty pieces of content to show off your expertise. Keep them in the Draft folder if you’re uncomfortable posting while still employed.
Build your runway.
Hope this helps! Speaking from lived experience on this one. Went from freelance to agency to in-house and back again to freelance over the last 5 years. What a time to be alive.
