Re: Older work and its impact on the hiring process.
Heya (and happy new year). "... and it becomes pretty clear that there is no real consensus on what is considered good work" I disagree. Even a single picture can be enough to classify an applicant as belonging to either of two categories : 1 - artists that demonstrates great skills and potential, who are constantly… -

When I look back on the last six years of my life out here, I realise I haven't had one. I just 'crunched' every summer. Weekends,… -
