Nice! Vlogging is a great way to improve your communication and understanding of a topic. You got it and best of luck!

Consider how the top art auction houses such as Sotheby's, Christie's, Phillips, Bonhams, and Heritage Auctions communicate with potential art buyers. Observe how they market artists and art collections to get an understanding of how to tell stories about art and combine it with your personality. Always maintain your authenticity and communication style while sharing your knowledge about art to connect with other art appreciators and collectors. Remember to share to assist and educate, rather than to manipulate, to build long-lasting relationships in the art world. You've got this!

This was back in 2019, so I'm not sure how much the process has changed. Focus on telling a story. After all, the story behind the art and the artist resonates with people when they want to purchase artwork. You got it!

HI Anjum! The most important thing is attitude and approaching everything with an open mind. Wishing you well in your endeavor 🦾

Hahaha, one of the neat things about life is having the opportunity to connect and learn from others. Glad we have the memory and hope you're well!

Glad it had value, and I'm sure a bit has changed with Stripe.

yeah, thats the hard thing about using stripe such an extensive documentation and changes occuring everytime@@xanderclemens

Hola Luis! De verdad😎Nos vamos a reunion.

Vamos!

Hey Jet! I hope your well and great to hear from you😎Depening where you go in Colombia a lot of development has taken place and I've been living in a small town outside Pereira. Ciao y nos vamos💪🏻

@@xanderclemens sounds good bro? so no more medellin? u still got my number on whatsapp right? hit me up? and i never heard of that town where in colombai is that located?

@@sicariobrother316 Hahah that is correct living life off the tourist area and more immersed in the culture here. It is in the department of Risaralda where the coffee region of Colombia is. Hope your well!

Hey Chrisitan! Yes absolutely! Keep going strong with your intentions, training, and value to others. Much love 😎💪🏻!

HI Laura! Simple explanation is "Discipline equals freedom". Also, it is very important in the tech industry to avoid burnout (acloudguru.com/blog/engineering/tech-it-worker-burnout) by setting boundaries for yourself when you need to go offline and be away from a screen and also engage with the physical world. Lastly, since this program is all remote if you a nice mobile setup you can make it work quite easily😎

Apply and go to the inperson Training in Miami and rock it! Tell people there that you want to be an auctioneer and demonstrate your value with luxury goods and you can become an Auctioneer within one contract. My roommate did after working one cruise contract.

Hi Vinay! Not sure exactly what you mean by your question can you ask again?

@@xanderclemens how would they select the artists to be on the exibition to display their art?

Hi Artist! I was working for Park West back in 2019 so the pay and process to apply I'm sure is a little different. That being said entry position is as an art associate and you can move up quickly to gallery director or art auctioneer within 1-2 contracts if your very good. Not sure of the process to apply but you will have to go for training in person in Miami and need to pass tests in person. The salary can be good since you don't have expenses when working on a cruiseship. Let me know if I can assist further!

Great to hear! Not sure how much of it is relevant anymore, as this was back in 2019😅

hahaha didn't realize it has been out that long😅 Explains the amount of user is so large. I'm late to the game but glad I found it!

@@xanderclemens haha yeah its a game changer for sure, super helpful for the eyes

@@BennduR Agreed!

Hi BennduR! Yes, I was initially planning to do the 12-week program that is only JS. Still, since talking with Alumni of Hack Reactor that did the 12-week course 1-2 years ago, they mentioned to me that they would have selected the 19-week course because you learn and cover Python and JavaScript and the buildout of these languages on different frameworks (Django and React). I’ve chatted with 4 Alumni that said they would have done the 19 weeks if they had the chance because you are adding more tools to your tool belt. That being said, focusing just on JS is excellent because you bronce a master at that, and the opportunity for JS work is abundant. I’ve been told that HR plans to adjust the curriculum to use a different framework for Python instead of Django because it is too automated. This was explained to me in a conversation, so I can’t know for a certainty. Also, I have to be mindful of my relationships with the people important in my life right now, and the 12-week program is an even extraordinary time commitment during the week. The 19-week course allowed me to manage still and have healthy relationships with my loved ones, especially with every 2nd Friday off and not having to be plugged in on the weekends.

​@@xanderclemens Incredible reply! thank you so much for taking the time to write this and sharing your insight! Very valuable. Those are all excellent reasons to consider the 19 week over the 12 week. Personally I've been accepted but was having reservations however since the 19 week is a newer "untested" program and seems to be getting some flack on /r/codingbootcamp from some disgruntled students. The coinciding timing of the 19 week program release with the Galvanize acquisition of HR and decision to stop reporting to CIRR also made me feel a bit wary that it could be cash-grabby, but this puts my mind at ease. Do you know if those 4 alumni you spoke to had reviewed the 19 week program at all, or were just basing their advice off their experience with the 12 week program? Here's a software engineer @ google reviewing the program; he seemed kind of underwhelmed to be honest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIiaqaedi86Il5I Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and best of luck with the program! Looking forward to your success.

@@BennduR My pleasure on the reply! Thank you for your questions and comments. I can imagine the program having hiccups and disgruntled students since it is a young program, and roughly every month, over 180 new students start the course, if I'm not mistaken, the 19-week course. So Galvinze does quite well financially. And you are about to consider that HR/Galvanize stopped reporting to the CIRR. Yes, I know and have heard over 10 Alumni speak on the program. I'd be happy to provide you with the google meetup link for a weekly call I attend with Jason Wesson, a former Hack Reactor alumni I have been following since Nov 22. I have gotten lots of value from these calls as you meet other current students in the program, alums and prospectus students, and uninflated students. The best part is it isn't affiliated with Hack Reactor. It is on Jason Wesson time. Here is his LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/jason-wesson/). I had a quick skim through the video from Jake Marquez. A lot of time must be dedicated to data structure and algorithms. Thanks for sharing, and I agree with his final point about students needing to learn vital core concepts and not being fed material to make the course 19 weeks long. I'll DM the link, and please let me know if you have any more questions happy to serve💪🏻

@@BennduR I sent tou your email on your YT profile👍🏻

@@xanderclemens ​ @Xander Clemens Hey Xander thanks for taking the time again to write this detailed reply. That meeting sounds really interesting and I would love to attend the one next week. Is the meeting just Jason's way of giving back, or what does he get out of these meetings? Curious what the context of these meetings is. Is it just a big Q&A or how do these meetings general go? Also, if you could DM the link again to the updated address on my YT profile I'd appreciate it! Cheers

Hello!

Hello Ryn🙏🏻

Hi Antoinette! Sorry to say this was back in 2019, so not sure how much has changed, but I would imagine so regarding training. That said, as long as you have a great attitude, are energetic, are a listener, open to continually learning, and are up for taking risks, you will do great in training and working on a cruise ship.

Great to hear!

Xander videos really help,I’m currently studying for the upcoming July training

Where can I apply?​@@sisiphomomoza7324

Hi Ellen! Did you make it pass the second interview?

Hi I'm doing my final interview and I would please like to hear about your experience. Please put me up to speed.

Hi have you ended up doing the training and working for Park West? Sorry, I missed this comment.

Hi! Did you end up getting into training and working on a ship?

Started out as an art associate but you have the opportunity to move up as art gallery and principal art auctioneer fast depending on your results.

Hi Andrea! What is your question in regards to work experience?

Tell him Fish Boy says hello!

Next time you see him tell him Buff Boy says hello👋🏻

Thank you! 😊

That is correct!

Gracias!

I worked for Park West back in 2019 but not anymore

@@xanderclemens wow I filled out a application and didn't know if it payed well or not.It honestly looked fun

​@@30clips115 Cool! If you are enthusiastic about working on a cruise ship and want to, then I believe you will have the opportunity with them or another company. It can be a great way to get exposed to traveling and is an absolute adventure

@@xanderclemens thanks man

@@xanderclemens i recently get a job there...may i ask why you didnt go futher with them ? was the work bad or badly paid ?

Man, you are too fast! I'm working on a video message for you right now 😅I'll be sending you an email a little later today😎

Yes I ended up getting the job back in 2019 and did one contract on the Celebrity Solstice

You got it! I imagine you know Alexander Chen? I really liked his vivid hyper detail of San Francisco

Yes, it has been a joy working with Alexander for the past 28 years

​@@tombinderfinearts4617 That is fantastic to hear you have had a 28-year working relationship with him!

Yep, I was able to get the job back in 2019 and I'm wishing you all the best!

Hope to get around to doing a little write-up in the future on our podcast! Something you can always circle back to👍🏻

Hahaha sorry mate I've been off the grid😅 for awhile now. Hope all is well and slowly working on my personal brand so should be a bit more active online over time🤣 Wishing you well to you, your brother Christian and your family!
