When I ask [job candidates] to show me work, they show me things from school, or from another job, but I'm more interested in what they did last weekend.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
You are waiting for your moment when something emerges in the world, they need a skill set, and you’re uniquely qualified. You build your brand in the meantime on Twitter, on YouTube, and by giving away free work. You make a name for yourself, and you take some risk in the process. When it is time to move on the opportunity, you can do so with leverage—the maximum leverage possible.
