Why They're Not Hiring You... | Creative Career Tips

Amazing content! Thanks!!!

i absolutely love videos like this a video on WHERE and HOW to get clients step by step would be extremely useful too

Let me tell you I was not at all interested in clicking the next video. But something about the no reply necessary made it SOOO TANTALIZING. I had to click it. It actually works.

Ben, what type of computer would you suggest that has maximum storage and ram to run adobe cloud smoothly

Just wanted to say I loved the dollar signs in the eyes. Sooooo sooo fun thanks

Thank you Ben!

this man is so unfathomably smooth. dude got the cinematography in a video about business for animation. he's just him.

my my... that brachiosaurus must have suffered brain concussion by the end of the video...

Ben, everytime you open your mouth, you have my attention. You really provide valuable information and life lessons. No need to reply :)

This is very insightful. Thanks.

Love the font you use on your thumbnails. What font do you use?

Honestly I love your intro so much it's so unique I don't think you should stop including it

Sometimes I wish I could sign off my emails with "Replying is forbidden".

When I grow up, I’m going to Bovine University.

Great tips - like always, thanks Ben!

💜

Wait, Ben... why were you holding a dinosaur?

It is wonderful how you understand life! Awesome!

That thumbnail scared me thought you were crying

My monthly internet comment to thank u Ben for always helping the community, truly appreciate you

Some advice to add on here for young designers. The best thing you can do is be specific in your portfolio about the work you want to do. If you want to work in news, have journalism focused personal projects! If you want to do logo animation, have logo animations! If you want to do branding, do branding. Being a generalist is good but when it comes to job applications, the more specific your portfolio is geared towards the industry the job is for, the more likely you're to be hired! And ideally do work you're excited for. Ben is right about not filling your portfolio with boring corporate work (unless that's your jam).

Also don't bother putting print work in your portfolio unless you want to do print design. Never put work in your portfolio you don't want to do in the future---->advice I wish I had as a recent college grad

Hi Ben, great video! I was wondering what the font was called that you used in this thumbnail. Looks really clean! Thanks already.

heh nice “$” In your eyes

Hey Ben, I love Deekays process videos but I don't know how to render out the anchor points on shape layers. I was hoping you would have some advice on the topic. No reply required

Ben, you are the best.

Thanks Ben!

Hey man, I really need your thyme to improve my showreel for my benefit.
Anxiously, looking forward to your reply

Ben please take my first born Son and raise him up as your own! We need more of your knowledge in this world!

Ben Marriott's videos are excellent. They're articulate and well polished.

so glad that i have adblock on for this video. This video is legit just an ad for whatever and you talking about the most obv stuff.

NNTR is a really good tip.

It's just awesome pieces of advice, Ben! I wish I knew it when I started working as a freelancer! Luckily you saved someone's time by this video now haha

"What a segue" 😂😂 brilliant video and brilliant advice! 🙇

I needed this. Cause finding a job in the creative field in general is tough, but more so that I just got laid off. So thank you so much for putting this in.

That bit ant the final payback! great script, for a motion grapher! :P hahaha

What an amazing and helpful video! Thank you, you are helping creators, designers and artists all around the world.

yes right - fuck

It's so true about the email sign offs! I get a lot of emails from folks who keep asking how their business can partner with my business. They want me to be a client SO bad!

I often get sign offs like "When are you available?" "Are you free this Wednesday?"
Trash.

Ben really awesome content as usual, I have a question, what if what inspires you is as vast as 3D illustration texturing vs simple texturing but heavily animated content?

This is a pretty timely video for me so thank you so much!

They're not hiring me because I'm black.

Hi Ben! This video is amazing! I would be interested to see a video where you give some tips for folks who want to take the step from motion graphics into animation (especially those who either can't draw or don't have a drawing tablet). I've been best friends with After Effects for years, but struggle to draw digitally.

Btw, you're videos have helped me more than you know, keep it up :)

No reply necessary, I'm sure you get hundreds of these. No reply necessary.

Please recommend a monitor for AE

Amazing video Ben! Love me a good food analogy :)

Ben. I like your new haircut 😂 and thanks ❤

Precious tips, as always! Thank you so much, Ben!!!! I'll never going to be allergic to your videos! 😊👍
