Learning the languages of clients, prospective clients, co-workers, and other artists will greatly improve both your overall work and industry connections. Speaking in artistic terminology, though impressive, doesn't always translate down the line to the client. Having a versatile armory of experiences and vocabulary will make you super appealing to work with…and don't forget to speel check your emails! All correspondence should be treated as face-to-face interactions. The other piece of the puzzle is networking. When you are looking to move into an industry, show work, or even find connections in a new city, making a good impression can go a long way. Scoring work is only as hard as having meaningful conversations, showing genuine enthusiasm, and keeping in touch. Sometimes a small gesture can go a long way to helping you build that perfect network of people to bring you to the top of your game.
