Get Your Dream Job in 2020 w/ Petrula Vrontikis

[@thefutur]

Check out Petrula's video course pre-sale on How to Land your Dream Job here: ftris.me/lydjYTDesc

[@ap2099-k2m]

Is this course made for those looking for a job in the US or generally anywhere in the world? (I'm personally based and looking for work in Europe)

[@angelinatran8079]

Everytime I see Chris and Petrula on an episode, I know it is going to be packed with lots of knowledge, insight, and positive energy. Thank you, teachers!

[@thefutur]

Our pleasure!

[@nicoleschlueter]

Petrula is a design god and that new intro was super tight! Big props to The Future for keeping us "doer's " fresh and motivated!

[@thefutur]

[@yaraartiles5025]

Chris, a friend I made networking recommended me your channel like 2 weeks ago and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever found. Keep it up. The value you give us is endless x

[@thefutur]

[@Slava-om1sz]

That was actually valuable. ‘Just’ need to up my communication skills to the level of Chris and Petrula. Anyone here want to practice and analyze each other?

[@SandipKumar-og6xm]

Suddenly I became matured in design world and watching this video, I will say great value in just one video

[@thefutur]

That's awesome!

[@lydiawere]

Always a pleasure to tune in. Thanks @ChrisDo & team for sharing with us.

[@richashubhangi7761]

It has been a bliss having your content around during these Covid times. It kept me motivated to keep moving forward in spite of limited opportunities. Forever grateful...

[@simoncharwey8513]

Petrula: “How can you as a designer identify a problem and create the communication [and/or the cross-cultural creative community] to helping you solve that problem? This is a very important question to ask each day. And that problem you identify should be timely and relevant to that network. As a brand identity designer and anthologist on indigenous African design systems and African symbology, I identify with the voices of BIPOC creatives and how the Eurocentric canon stifled the narratives from other cultures. And initiating the ADM directory in solidarity and support of BIPOC, African descent, and Africa-born creatives, has exposed me to design thought leaders, designer educators, luminary creatives that were previously out of my reach. Consequently, this has enabled me to building a meaningful community who are collaborating with me on a three-phase “decolonising design educators” project. I believe I am more ready to ask for help from this network I’ve established to landing my dream job or big transaction projects as a brand identity design and future design educator. Hope this personal example helps.

The intro. Can we talk about the cool intro of spending your time with people making them happier by helping them?? The intro. Good job, team!!

Thank you

[@ahmedabdullah5705]

I love Petrula! Such a beautiful soul. And Chris' closing statement was the perfect end to this amazing episode. It felt like 30 minutes

[@thefutur]

Thank you Ahmed

[@theextramile7438]

Once again, an amazing video to help all of us going through rough times! Thank you so much Chris and Petrula to talk about this so relatable topic. It feels like ever since I started my new designer career, the right videos come at the perfect time in my life. Big up to theFutur team! Never stop learning.

[@tolaa3653]

Thank you for updating the synchronization! Just went here to rewatch it with all social clues included.

[@kaoutherakid4433]

I really feel that me and this channel have some sort of out of this world connection or something! 🙈 The timings and the subjects of the videos are always so spot on!!! 😌😍😊 This is the exact type of video I need at the moment! Thanks @chrisdo and the whole team 😉

[@thefutur]

Love that!

[@nickng8849]

I'm at the 'pregnant pause' section. And I'm already liking Jonas even more. 😂🤣 Chris, just when I think one of your videos doesn't really apply to me much, it turns that it actually does. Maybe not so much about job hunting, but more about what I want to do with the rest of my life. Everything that you and Petrula are talking about (changing jobs, using previous work experience to new job, adapting to changing environments and markets) are what I've been going through in the past three years, and the COVID-19 pandemic only expedited my exit of my previous career. Thank you very much to both of you. Plus, I really enjoy the occasional awkwardness and side-tracking where the attention goes to the people behind-the-scenes (like Jonas). It alleviates some tension and shows the human sides of you-like it's not corporate and dry. You both laugh, I laugh, too.

[@craftvalue4985]

The Futur, always dropping content right when I need it! I was hoping to apply for a dream job this week, but it looks like I should probably take the time to go through the new course before applying!

[@thefutur]

we got you Tyler.

[@rubym3915]

Dream job implies your dream is working to make someone else rich. ‘Dream role for the moment’ is a more accurate mindset shift in order to hold your autonomy and character and not get attached to a dream that can cut you out of it tomorrow. Dream bigger for yourself- work for yourself and fail, get a ‘role for the moment’ to pay bills and save up, repeat, reflect and keep in touch w those who find it easy to want the best for you

[@sbug51]

this is fantastic, I needed to hear (read) this today

[@zoranspirkovski9721]

That jolt, followed by "There's always something." gave me a really strong impression that I'm engaged with something that's got an extremely professional team behind. It reminds me of F1 teams and SpaceX's mission control. I'm really grateful for all involved in the production for taking the time to create this amazing work of art! Keep it up Do-nation.

[@thefutur]

[@raerlymade]

But what if you have to interview with HR or a recruiter first, then a project manager, then a "sr designer", and then the VP of design? Also, some interviews are just focused on the generic "tell me about your background" question and nothing more. How does preparing help for those situations?

[@glisteningasmr]

I am 21 and my parents want me to be a nurse. I agreed to it because in the back of my head I will get money to support my singing. I know right really?!?! Know I’m over following someone else’s dream. I want to go to Korea and have a singing career but am told that I need to go to counseling because millions of people want to do what I want to do. I just have so much passion for singing and dancing that I don’t want to push it aside. I don’t want to regret it in the future. I have an overwhelmingly amount of confidence that I can do it. There is nothing else that I want to do. Are my dreams to unrealistic?

[@dynastyarts2535]

These days job requirements are insane they require you to have major level of experience in so many things and want you to have so many sets of skills and each job requirement expects so much from you. It puts you in a difficult position. which is really frustrating and a complete dilemma for people like us who are really new to our career.

[@daphnebydesign7515]

This video is very helpful for the current climate.

[@christopherscott8675]

JOB means "just over broke" - make your own way!

[@michaelfrymus]

I'm interested in the best approach to dealing with potential clients who do not respond back to your emails, or who decide to opt out after providing an estimate for a job - I get this as a photographer often, and clients choose the cheaper options often, knowing that they aren't getting the quality of work

[@thefutur]

This is for a job and not advice to deal with clients.

[@andomaker]

My audio and video are super out of sync for this video. Is this happening to anyone else?

[@carlieheimann2916]

I stumbled on a position I'd LOVE to have, but there's only about a month left before it is due, and I'd rather ask a recruiter for some advice to use my time most wisely, rather than waste what little time I have guessing. What are your thoughts on asking for advice from a talent recruiter BEFORE applying?

[@thefutur]

I don't consider it asking for advice. I call it doing your homework.

[@FEWEDZI]

Petrula has a really pleasant voice

[@tobiamos7984]

Low key - her suggestion was extremely good. It's something Chris has mentioned in talks before, the blessing of sharing your knowledge with the world. Would the team at thefutur be interested in expanding in teaching *how* to share your knowledge?

[@thefutur]

Absolutely!!

[@mangami96]

[@evac3]

Yara Artiles Hi Yara, you can connect me via LinkedIn and let’s see what we can do.

[@evac3]

Kenyce Hi Kenyce! I searched for agencies and designers that are my inspirations, or dream job places and wrote them LinkedIn messages, e-mails or Behance messages. I asked them if they can share their experiences about succeeding in their business, what skills should I improve or how did they land their dream jobs. I’m really interested in it, and curious about their career path, because I want to work for a small/medium design agency in Ireland and it’s so hard to get a job nowadays. I also asked them if we can connect on LinkedIn? Mostly I got positive answers and some of my ‘heroes’ (as Chris Do would say) connected me and shared their experiences. It’s a positive energy boost for me! :) However, I’m still waiting for @Chrisdo ‘s reply. :)

[@BetterBedtimeStories]

Wow. This was a bit disappointing. I can’t say I found these tips too helpful. LinkedIn is a pretty tricky tool as I’m being bombarded with DMs like these all the time. Graduating or working in the same place doesn’t necessarily means introduction to a team leader. The internship idea is another painful one. You work really hard and then you prove yourself and get a paid gig. The reason you will get the gig, and not someone applying, is because you become the cheaper option. So, you feel under valued and pretty much used. What you get is experience and then you become one of the applicants that don’t get hired because the intern got promoted 😬
