  • Working professional for interview

    Posted by Adam Hopkins on February 17, 2011 at 11:48 pm

    Hi, I’m a student at the Academy of Art University. This semester one of my classes is called Designing Careers. It’s intention is to introduce us to things that will be helpful to marketing ourselves and preparing for the start of our career fresh out of school. I am working on a project for this class that requires an interview. I was wondering if any working professionals are around that wouldn’t mind doing an interview for me. I guess the easiest way would be for me just to email some questions for you to answer. It won’t be long. The only requirement for the interview is that the interviewee be employed in the industry (motion graphics) and have knowledge of the field in general for topics such as the past and future of the industry, salary trends, etc. I suppose the longer you’ve worked in the field the better. If you’re interested in helping me out, you can email me at adamwhopkins@yahoo.com or respond here. Thanks a lot.

    If you want salary trends I would recommend talking to someone in your local area. Salary is very different depending on your location. You will make a lot more in NYC then in Salt Lake City. Plus by interviewing someone local you can get a great contact that could help you find a job close to home. I would think of this as a lot more then a “home work” assignment and as an opportunity to further your career by meeting someone close face to face.

    Thanks for the input, I suppose I shouldn’t have put salary trends as its so minor of a part. I appreciate your advice and that sounds like a great idea, but what you’re talking about is not what this project is about. Also, there is no one in north Mississippi.

    I will be more then happy to help you out and answer some questions. I’m an Editor, Producer, Motion Graphics Artist and Colorist. If you want someone who only does Motion Graphics or someone who uses 3D programs I’m not your guy. Let me know.
