Everyone is ‘smart’. There are so many varying types of intelligences. Interpersonal, bodily-kinaesthetic, linguistic, logical-mathematical, spacial etc. Educators need to start using these instead of describing academic success as ’smart’.

When I freelanced I felt so incredibly disposable and unworthy. I know other designers who currently feel like this. If you are a freelance designer, you are worthy, you are skilled, you are important and you are valuable.

@peterph_am Peter, you can’t have a double negative!

@CD_and_Co Well done CD&Co team! Looks great.

@sebbiepie Totally, as well as the financials of the situation as well. There are other ways to see if someone is a good addition without requiring they freelance first. The whole freelance to potential full time makes me so angry.

@emlyclrke I feel you, I remember landing my first full time from freelance and they were shocked I was leaving. And like how do you expect someone to fully invest when they have to manage what is coming up next. Really wish it wasn't a thing.

It's annoying to seeing the amount of Freelance to Full Time positions in my inbox. It's just a shitty way to try before you invest. Just set a proper trail period.

Hiring a junior employee is not an opportunity for “cheap labor.” Your junior employee will be one of your hardest-working team members, eager to learn under your mentorship. Pay them fairly. Be a true mentor to help them grow in their career.

@LukevanO @cat_wall_ Might be worth directing them to this twitter.com/gabbylord_/sta…

@emlyclrke @cat_wall_ Yup Anthony Wymond from Ignite is the Chair, with Simon as vice. I can put you in touch if you don’t know him already?

Nice to see the design industry is feeling healthy enough to start abusing itself again.

@LukevanO @cat_wall_ Luke, do you know who is Chair of AGDA Vic now?

@cat_wall_ I can hear your expression from my balcony right now. Couple things: I’m not the AGDA Vic Chair any more as I gave up my seat at the start of the year; that ‘purported’ stings since you know me and what I’ve done; I normally look silly; and, no one’s asked my point so conjecture.

@CD_and_Co No treats, I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me 'cause it hurts. Genius.

With the ingrained biases that exist within the design industry, we desperately need an organisation that supports, upholds and champions real change, inclusion and education for the industry to change. Do better @AGDA_National
