Description

Between the three of us, we've spent almost 40 years working in content so in this episode of Content Rookie, we talk about all things landing a job in content design, growing your career, leading vs IC work, what skills are most useful to hone right now, and how we're handling the constant shift of prios for content and design work.


Learning outcomes:

- Leadership vs individual contributor roles in design and content

- The day to day of content designers

- Applying to jobs in the current climate

- Why generalists are the new specialists

- What skills you might want to learn

- Why we don't believe in bootcamps and courses

- Is content design a craft, an art, or a trade?
