Work Experience Kid

Bryan Riley has had a rather broad career in the visual design space - especially when you compare it to many others.

He's designed apps and websites, gotten stuck into UI, UX, and is now a motion designer at some fancy advertising agency.

Reckon you've got a good eye (and hand for a computer mouse)? Then take a listen to where you could go!

Every voiceover artist needs a voiceover demo. Seasoned voiceover guy Matt Dawson challenged Iain to make his own voiceover demo!

The demo itself isn't played in this ep - you can listen to the demo here.

Sharing the pod with friends and family is helpful. You can also get involved at workexperiencekid.com

Being able to talk for a living seems cool! So let's uncover a little about what it's like to be a voiceover guy (or voiceover artist if we want to use the correct title) with Matt Dawson.

He's the voice for Transport NSW, Subway and many more - you've definitely heard Matt's voice before, even if you don't recognise it.

We'll hear how he got his start behind the mic, and as always he'll set the work experience kid a challenge, which will be published in the episode directly after this. Subscribe so you don't miss it!

Matt is represented by Scout Management

In his interview, Taz Herman set the work experience kid a task to correct a test, then give the student feedback based on their results.

Sounds easy peasy, but is it? Turns out it's harder than you might think. Look, this is a description not a place to spoil the content, so you're going to have to listen to the ep to hear why it's harder than expected.

Does Iain have the skills to successfully complete two skills that are required every day?

Ever thought about going back to school... but as the teacher?

Taz Herman loves working as a maths teacher and could see himself teaching at his current school until he retires. That's a great sign!

He also helps us explore some of the less desirable elements of teaching.

Grab a seat at the front of the room for this wide-ranging and insightful conversation. Don't worry, nothing in this ep will appear in the test. (What test? There's a test?) The same cannot be said for the work experience kid.

After around 15 years in the advertising game, does Iain have the skills to advertise a car?

As we learned in the chat with automotive buyers/sellers advocate, Steve Melder, advertising a car is just one of the many skills required to be an advocate.

Take a listen to hear the results and to learn a little more about next steps.

Visit workexperiencekid.com to get involved, support the work of pod guests including Steve (via the guests tab), and support the pod in other ways!

You can pay someone to buy or sell a car on your behalf, which is kinda cool.

Steve Melder started out as a mechanic, but as you'll hear, his career evolved into something grease-adjacent.

In this ep, you'll hear what it's like to go out on your own, and go "all in" on something you've been passionate about for a while - in Steve's case: an automotive advocate.

This is a Diary Entry where I share my thoughts and learnings from the experience so far.

What's holding you back from doing that thing? For me, it was relying on others and someone else doing a similar thing. It delayed progress for months. Then I realised that I was holding myself back.

Dr. Katelyn Tadd set Iain the challenge to sit the med school entrance exam, known as the GAMSAT. Pass this 6 hour exam and you're on your way to med school. Fail and sit it again, or remain a civilian for the rest of your life. Or until you join the army.

The practice GAMSAT in this episode lives here: https://www.gamsat.co.uk/gamsat-test-centre/section-3

It took Dr. Katelyn Tadd 15 years to become a Consultant Psychiatrist.

In this episode, Dr. Tadd shares a little about what it takes to get into university, to become an Intern, then a Junior Doctor, THEN a Specialist.

It's a massive commitment but very possible if you're committed. Being a smarty-pants is beneficial.
