Atricle Dump - Breaking Through the Hiring Paradox of Creative Ad Industry Jobs
Summer Time Job Searching commercials are right now. A bad economy forced creative people to leave creative jobs for more stable ones. And some just aren't coming back.The temptations are there – warm, lazy, casual days, when the shoes of choice are "flip flops." Taking the summer off and getting back into the groove of things when the "kids go back to school" would be very easy. You think to yourself, "Nothing's happening during the summer anyway – everybody goes on vacation during these months."Stop!

Financing from traditional banks generally requires commercial borrowers to have two years in business and showing a profit. Banks tend to favor loans secured by tangible assets like machinery, inventory, equipment and real estate.Working with factoring companies, in contrast, are less restrictive. When you sell your invoices - often called factoring - you don’t incur any debt so there are no monthly payments. Plus, you can control your cash flow by determining how much to factor and when. Young, growing companies or those with tax liens - and even bankruptcy - can still qualify for an invoice factoring account. This While competition is fierce, so is the demand for great talent. And therin lies the paradox. How can there be supply and demand at the same time? Think of it like restaurants. Everyone wants to eat really great food. Therefore, there are many many restaurants. But only a few get 4 stars, let alone five. The vast majority of restaurants are rated a one or a two. And for the most part, we all eat mediocre food. Which is the same thing in the creative industry. Look at all the movies that have come out recently and hardly any of them are worth watching. Look at how bad commercials are right now.

But only a few get 4 stars, let alone five. The vast majority of restaurants are rated a one or a two. And for the most part, we all eat mediocre food.While I was driving to work this morning I was stuck in traffic. Even worse, I was stuck in traffic behind a bus. I hate traffic jams and I hated being behind buses in traffic jams. When behind a bus, your vision is restricted; you cannot see beyond the bus. So you have to look at it. And, you are forced to look at whatever is on the back of that bus.On this particular bus was an advertisement for a local real estate agent. It was one of those big billboard-style ads that cover the entire back of the bus. It was quite a good ad. The tag-line read, "If I can't sell your house in 30 days, I’ll buy it myself." But whether or not the ad was good wasn’t the issue. The issue was that I had no choice – I had to look at the ad because there was absolutely Which is the same thing in the creative industry.

Launching A Business Without a Logo Can Sabotage You all eat mediocre food.Initial lack of customers and cash flow often causes a small business to put off designing a logo and marketing materials professionally “until [they] got a few clients” or “until [they] get started.” Designing their own marketing materials when they launch their business, instead of having them professionally created, will make getting those initial clients more difficult, and may result in a business that will not succeed.Many entrepreneurs choose to design their own marketing materials when they launch their business, especially by creating their first business card. Or, they will have an amateur designer, friend or relative create the design. There are several reasons why this is not the best idea. An amateur logo design and business card can m Which is the same thing in the creative industry. Look at all the movies that have come out recently and hardly any of them are worth watching.

So you're sitting there, licking your chops, wondering "How much money can I charge?" "Can I buy a new car?" Hold your horses! We said you're creative. We didn't say you were great. Or even good.
