Episode Highlights:
On Seasonal Jobs:
“You get to make all kinds of new friends. You bond intensely and you get to have a lot of fun by being outside and doing group activities and it offers a really affordable way to travel the country and live in these incredible places that people pay to vacation.”
“My biggest advice would be don’t wait. I talk to so many people who say “I wish I could do that” or “I should have done that” and sometimes I’m blunt with them and I say ‘why don’t you?’”
On Negotiating While Freelancing:
“If somebody offers you something, counter with a little bit more. Of course, when you’re first building your clips you might not be able to command a high rate, but most people are expecting you to negotiate just a little bit and you can always go back down. If they say “no, we really can’t afford that” then you can go back to the original rate, but at least you always asked.”
