Get your foot in the door!
The easiest way of getting regular and relaxed career advice from real professionals, using a casual online Slack-like tool.
Register for a mentor and you will be paird up with a professional from one of our 30+ VFX and Animation member studios.
Even with three mentees it it taking as little as 10 minutes a week of my time.
It is all on slack so l can login at a time that is suited to me. If I see anything useful to them, I fire it over. They are always grateful and very appreciative of help. It is a wonderful thing to do as a professional to be able to give something back.
