Match22 Workshop: No experience? No problem.

​What to do when all the 'entry-level' roles are no longer 'entry' level...

​Join The Arena and James McLearie from Represent Recruitment for this free, 1hr online workshop on how emerging creatives can break the catch-22 of needing experience to get experience.

​We’ll look at practical ways to build experience and make your work work harder for you — from passion projects and spec work to volunteering opportunities and other ways to get your foot in the door. Whether you’re a designer, illustrator, or another kind of emerging creative, you’ll learn how to create opportunities for yourself and turn them into a pathway towards freelance work and full-time roles.

​We’ll finish with an open Q&A with special guests, giving you the chance to ask your burning questions and get advice directly from people in the industry.

​Special guest: Dave Bain, freelance commercial illustrator, working across editorial, promotional, advertising, branding and publishing commissions.

​You do not have to be a Match22 mentee to attend this event - this workshop is open to anyone looking to secure their first role in the creative industry, or within the first few years of their career and looking to build upon existing skills and experience.
