Today I’ll be talking with young designer Cam Chatt - who just accepted a graphic design position at OddsChecker - the UK’s #1 sports betting odds comparison site. The perseverance and single-mindedness that Cam showed during his 18 month job search is like nothing I’ve seen. He’s going to tell us how he dealt with the pandemic, a tight job market, the canceling of all professional sports, and worst of all...coming in second for 2 sports design positions he really wanted - before sticking the landing and getting hired at OddsChecker.

Learn the secrets of a successful creative job search from young, award-winning creative pros. Each episode, I interview a young creative professional about the steps they took to go from design school grad to successful employee at a creative firm. Through their stories, we cover topics like: their high school experience, figuring out a creative path, identifying creative firms you’d love to work for, connecting with the right people inside of them, building a focused design portfolio website, preparing for and winning the interview and negotiating job offers. They also discuss what they now look for in emerging talent as they hire the next wave. I’ve helped hundreds of design school grads, like the ones you’ll hear from, find their first creative jobs. And I can help you find yours. Join us!
