Work For Free LA - 2020_02_27

Hey there,

There’s a lot of debate about whether you should work for free.

• “Exposure” doesn’t pay the bills!

• It sets a bad precedent.

• If you don’t value your work, who will?

All reasonable objections.

I still think free work is one of the best tools to take big jumps in your career, especially if you’re starting in a new field, have little domain expertise, or no connections.

If you’re moving to Los Angeles, chances are you may be making a big career jump. This article covers how to use free work to do it, including exact word-for-word scripts I’ve used to land work when I first moved to Los Angeles and didn't know a soul.

Hope you have a terrific week.

With gratitude and affection,
