Jobs Post-Covid
Despite Covid, there are still many job opportunities out there. But it remains true that the success in our industry doesn't necessarily go to the most talented - it goes to the most persistent, and the most determined. Animators need to be able to work from home, and they need to be good at solving the kind of tech problems that come with home working.

Remember that rejection is normal and commonplace. Develop rhinoceros hide - get used to rejection, and learn not to mind, at least not too much. Rejection is not personal - it's just business, often simply because the timing wasn't quite right.
