Description
Today we are talking about switching careers to become a designer. Charli was asked a question via her Youtube channel by a viewer who wants to switch from a career in marketing to a career in design. The feedback she has been given by recruiters so far is that she is over qualified for a junior role, but lacks the experience for a mid-weight design role. We try to shed some light on how our eager designer can use her prior experience to her advantage in her career switch.

007: Finding motivation and staying focussed: We all struggle with motivation and focus at times; whether it's for a design school project you're just not connecting to or perhaps a side project that you're feeling burned out on. In this episode we chat about the motivations behind our various side projects and warn you against letting numbers be what drives you to create. We also talk about the things that discourage us and distract us every now and then, and share tips for finding your focus zone from both us and our listeners. Join in the conversation to share your own tips on Twitter (we're @DesignLifeFM). We hope this episode might give you an extra burst of motivation if you're needing it right now! by Design Life
