We invited Gem Barton author of ‘Don’t Get a Job...Make a Job’, to talk about modern strategies and approaches to finding work and 'making it' in the digital sector.
Focusing on the innovative ways to create your own opportunities, Gem discussed using social media, networking, and explored some of the unique routes people have taken into the sector through the sharing of case studies and advice.
Don’t worry if you missed it though as you can watch her entire talk right here! And if you want to see more about the case studies be sure to check out Gem’s new book:‘Don’t Get a Job...Make a Job.’
