Sam, Fine artist and Illustrator, Translator

Tyypillinen työpäiväni: Studying about new works in the world, brainstorming ideas for design, creative sketches and ideas for personal projects, reading articles and books. Making art, and other creative tasks.

Tarvitsen työssäni seuraavia taitoja: Empaattisuus, rohkeus, luovuus ja yksilöllisyys, jatkuva oppiminen, Curiosity,

Päädyin nykyiseen työhöni: It was a build up after trying other jobs and not really being happy in it, where I finally quit freelancing for Graphic design and just stick to translation and interpretation now. I although found myself enjoying being an art teacher and educator after volunteering for a few years and now teach art to children while practicing my personal art journey.

Näistä opinnoista on ollut minulle eniten hyötyä: Art, Desing, Communication skills, Psychology, Childhood education, Literature in different genres, Climate related studies, and a few traditional and contemporary art techniques.

Vinkkini samoista tehtävistä kiinnostuneille: I would like to say that if you like teaching, please take some certification courses or do some volunteering for it so you can apply for the courses. Most places do not accept people without a background of volunteering or education to apply for degree courses or jobs. Also you can even take your art field and go with the direction of therapy if you are compatible with that kind of career path.
