professionalization
Professionalization may a bittersweet pill to swallow for some - but I hope you will welcome it!
Artists and students (some of them) may prefer a more casual approach to everything, including business.
But like it or not, if you don't have your personal and business act together today, you'll find yourself with a lot of leisure you don't welcome.
Self-professionalization is how business should be conducted, and how you should go into the world of work, and how you should network.
Professionalism means higher standards of presentation and communication. It means greater attention to business and marketing strategy.
If you have a handle on today's business practices, you will make more effective and efficient.
Today's self-managing media wannabe needs to understand the rules governing this game.
The lesson: Being "professional" means being punctual, calling when you're going to be late, following up, emailing in a business-like way, presenting your letters on suitable (even striking) stationery, and dressing appropriately.
Seek the education and training (and re-training) you need, and be current.
Are you an introvert? Improve your prospects by viewing networking differently - as a continuous process. Improve how you come across to others - develop the 'professional you', who can do things that the 'private you' cannot.
Networking - understand its true meaning and process. It isn't really about getting a job. It's about using shared interests to develop and maintain mutually beneficial relationships. Then, if you are looking for your first job, or the next job, these contacts will be there to help. Networking becomes a life-long process.
