How to Get Your Shot
Summary

- Take initiative and create your own opportunities; like my videographer, use your personal time to build a portfolio that showcases your skills.
- Demonstrating proactive behavior and willingness to learn can outweigh lack of experience.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by identifying what job or new role you really want. Then, think about how you can go the extra mile to show you can do it. Like my videographer, use your own time to work on a project that shows off your skills. For example, make a vlog, design a website, or develop a marketing plan that showcases what you can do.
Next, demonstrate that you're willing to learn and improve. Take online courses or read books related to the role you desire. This shows you're proactive and serious about growing your abilities.
Remember, it's all about showing results. Create something visual and tangible that proves your skills. This could be a portfolio, a series of designs, or any other work relevant to the job.
Finally, put in the effort to prove your worth for the role. This hard work helps you stand out from other candidates who might just express a desire but don't back it up with evidence. Your dedication will increase your chances of success. By demonstrating value through your actions, decision-makers are more likely to say yes to you.
