The conundrum of every nascent career is, “Lack of experience = no job = lack of experience.”

But we now live in the age of “keyless entry.” Getting hired is less about recruiters and resumes and more about you, the “living logos” that stand for creativity, integrity and drive.

You will pass through the walls of a company or studio like vapor floating in the atmosphere of information (via word of mouth and the internet) and eventually, you will solidify.

Market the impressive project that you finished this year to a hundred people and repeat.

Find someone who has experience and buy them lunch during which you talk a little, ask questions and listen a lot.

If you focus on relationships and creating your own dang experiences, the conundrum no longer applies.
