How to Avoid Freelancing For Free?

Step #1. Keep a Written Record I have been through those times when my hard work was not measured by money. I was doing work for free. Those times included free and paid internships. One thing is common in both internships, you work but no money. In free internships, you don’t get paid at all […]

So, you hate your job? Leave!

Is that tiring? Is it not that interesting? Or whatever else the problem is, here’s some sound advice: Just Leave! However! Stop for a moment, before you decide; make yourself think.

Five months in… what have you accomplished?

LOL just kidding, it doesn’t matter. I’m proud of you regardless, bro. We’ve all been busy, starting over, falling back down, getting right back up, stumbling sideways, and starting right over again.

CRTL C + CTRL V

You don’t need to have gone to uni to understand plagiarism.  In fact, the first time you were protective of your work was probably in Reception, when snotty nosed Kevin was looking over at your painting and trying to draw the dinosaur in the same way that you did. Or in Year 4 maths tests, when you knew you had studied the […]
