YOUR C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E.
CAREER
This issue of Creative
Careers Unleashed begins an 8-part series that carefully examines the actions
you need to master and take in order to build a C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E. career as a
Genre Buster(TM).
These 8 actions or competencies are
represented by the acronym C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E:
C – Clarify
You need to be very
clear about: your vision, your values, your talents, your weaknesses, what you
like, who you like, what you want to do, what you can do, and so on. Clarity
does not come in an instant. It takes time and results from taking actions and
paying attention to results.
R – Research
"Knowledge is Power!"
In order to acquire knowledge you need to be constantly researching and finding
information. You need to know how to use libraries and the Internet. And, you
need to know people who can help you.
E – Explore
Exploration is like
Research but involves actual physical action. Getting out of your office and
going to meetings, conferences, clients, and being ‘in the world’ not ‘in your head’.
