What You Need to Know

Freelance

For unpaid photography listings, don’t believe the sales pitch. No matter how much of a “good impression” you’re making on the client, there’s no way it’s a zero-sum relationship.

Regardless of your expertise level, you’re still a person and your time is valuable, but sometimes exceptions can be made.

1Don’t work for free

So you want to become a freelance photographer? It’s tricky getting into any type of freelance work, so here are a few things to remember when getting into freelance photography.

2Work for free

… Just don’t do it for organizations. It sets a poor precedent for us if so many are working for free and it lowers the value of photography.

Do it for friends, do it for family members, but most importantly, do it on your terms. The idea is to workfor free to gain experience and build your portfolio, not free labour.

Find your specialty

3

There’s a ton of different types of photography you can work in. Wedding photography is the most popular but, by virtue, also the most competitive. There’s portraiture, product, stock, event, etc. The choice is yours, but you should work with something you’re good at, and most importantly, one you enjoy.

4Do your research

This means researching the type of photography you’re getting into, and how competitive the market is locally. Pricing can vary from city to city, so researching is important to be competitive.

This also means researching what type of equipment you might need for a job.

5Persistence

Above all else, freelancing is about persistence. If you’re going into this looking for instant money, or looking to replace your current job full-stop, you’re looking at it all wrong.

Freelancing is volatile work, filled with highs and lows, but it can be a supplementary form of money, under terms that you set, doing stuff that you enjoy, to create a body of work that you can be proud of.

5 Ways To Get LinkedIn To Work For You

Whether you’re just getting on LinkedIn now or you’re an old hand, there are a few useful things to keep in mind to ensure you’re making the most of your profile.

4. Careful with buzzwords and other clichéd phrases. They may make you sound savvy to current business lingo and informed about your industry, but use them sparingly - this type of language has in many cases, been overused to the point of meaninglessness and can make your profile sound dated and uninspired. Instead, present yourself in a fresh and unique way by using precise and unpretentious language that concretely expresses what you want to communicate. You’ll come across as more authentic and your profile will stand out more too.

5. Be active! LinkedIn is primarily a professional networking service. It functions best when you do some basic upkeep on a regular basis. Try to update your status frequently. This allows you to inform others about what you’re currently doing and to show your familiarity and active engage-ment with your profession. Join groups to make new connections and to keep apace with changes in your profession. Lastly, request recom-mendations frequently, rather than just at the point when you find yourself looking for a job. You will look more organized and consistent if you have recommendations spanning a long period of time.

By: Joel Nash

1. Get yourself a good profile picture! Having a photo of yourself is really important to draw people’s attention and to show them that there’s an actual person behind the profile. Make sure that it’s a high quality photo that is recent. Generally speaking, you want the picture to convey profession-alism and competence, but there’s no need to be too serious - make LinkedIn work for you by tailoring the photo to the career that you’re pursuing.

3. Show off your stuff. LinkedIn allows you to incorporate pictures, videos and slideshows into your profile. Make the most of this opportunity! Images and videos are eye-catching and punctuate your profile with points of visual interest, and they also succinctly convey your practical experience. This is useful regardless of whether you’re a graphic designer showcasing your latest brand identity work, or a senior manager sharing a really engaging powerpoint presentation you created.

2. Nail your summary! It’s one of the first things that people see when looking at your LinkedIn profile, so it’s a good idea to spend some time writing it so that you differentiate yourself and reveal something of your personality. Be sure to write it in the first person, and use active language (lots of verbs!) to outline pertinent experience and recent accomplishments.

ESSENTIAL

to BUSINESS

DRESS SHIRT

TROUSERS

DRESS SHOES

TIES

BLAZER

SKIRT

DRESS SHIRT

HEELS

MAKE UP

JEWELRYA skirt is a good addition to your

working wardrobe because it can be worn with many

di�erent tops. Like a blazer, it can also be dressed up or

dressed down depending on the

occasion.

Choose a solid white or blue shirt. You don't want to

look too flashy with a brightly colored shirt, and striped

(and especially patterned) shirts which are a little

less formal.

A navy blue blazer can be worn with a

tie, or without, depending on the

dress code. It matches numerous shirt colors and can

be worn with khakis, chinos or

grey slacks.A pair of black

oxfords or cap-toed oxfords is the best choice. Get ones that don't have

super thick soles so they won’t look like

boots.

Ties don't have to be boring. Although

you should avoid anything too flashy, such as "novelty" ties with bizarre prints, don't be

afraid to experiment with

unexpected colors.

Keep it simple, do not wear tight

pants that would make your legs look too skinny.

Also remember to wear dark colours that can match the

overall outfit.

You can experiment with fabrics, like sheer silk chi�on, which works great when

layered over a black camisole, very tasteful and professional.

Keep it simple, don’t wear funky colours, instead keep it natural.

Skip the nail art & don’t forget to do

your hair!

You want to keep your jewelry

simple, delicate, and petite.

Consider wearing a bracelet, a small necklace, make

sure they are small, and classy. Avoid

anything too flashy.

A pair of black heels create a

classic, timeless business formal look which can work with any

outfit.

Make those career opportunities

By: Paul Hantiuk


No doubt you upcoming grads are experiencing a little palm sweat about your future outside the shelter of college. Fear not, we talked to Centennial Student Employment Advisor Tanya Gokhshteyn about the steps you should be taking to get prepared for the job market whether you’re graduating this semester or not.

Be ProactiveGokhshteyn stresses that students need to get started at least by the

beginning of their last semester. She advises students to “get help with identifying what their goals are… doing research in the industry. Being proactive and starting early is key to getting a job.”

Be CreativeYou can’t just idly submit online applications in your pj’s. “We teach

[students] how to be more creative how to use networking, how to use research and in contacting employers… being active in their job search” says Gokhshteyn.

Get LinkedIn to link up“It’s important to target your profile to the industry you’re trying to

get a job,” says Gokhshteyn, “whenever [students] go to any professional meetings, any workshops, conferences, any networking or informational interviews. They should be adding contacts to their network.”

Cover LetterTwo things Gokhshteyn says students aren’t conscientious enough

about: “The letter should be more about the employer than about them.” And: “[Employers] judge a cover letter by how it is written. They judge a candidate’s language and communication skills as well.”

Multiple Resumes“You can’t just have one resume that you send to every company

you’re applying to…. Creative resumes suit certain industries and certain companies. You can’t have a unified approach” says Gokhshteyn.

Extra 1:Centennial has a job board with entry level jobs that are tailored to the programs of the

college. These are employers looking to hire grads, and they tell the college that they don’t get nearly enough applications.

Here’s how you find it.

• Log into myCentennial

• Student Services

• Scroll down to Hire Centennial

• Setup a Profile

Extra 2:Book an appointment with Career Services at any of Progress, Ashtonbee, Morningside or

Story Arts Centre Campuses on mycentennial. Bring your resume and a job posting you’re looking at and sign up for a mock interview to get feedback.

C entennial student Brad Garcia’s band Safe to Say only started playing together two years ago. In June 2013, they released their album, With Everything in Between and

interest came from far beyond Canada and the US. Now it’s safe to say the band conducts business with fans on the other side of the planet.

“Since we’ve released the album we’ve got orders from all over, like Japan and Australia,” Garcia said.

For Garcia, a second-year journalism student, his job as the front-man and guitarist for Safe to Say entails more than just playing gigs. He and the band members book shows, produce albums and sell their own merchandise. Running the band also means running a business.

According to Garcia, the biggest source of revenue comes from selling merchandise. The band sells albums, t-shirts and hats, both at their live shows and online. To avoid having their music streamed online for free the band produced their albums on vinyl records.

“If someone is going to download something for free, why don’t we at least give them something unique that they can hang on to?” Garcia said.

Safe to Say also earns money from touring. They receive a guaranteed amount for each live show. The shows also provide the band with an opportunity to meet people who can help book future shows.

“At our shows, we would be approached by people who wanted us to play in their hometown,” Garcia said.

He admits that touring can sometimes interfere with school. However, time on the road has translated to interesting story ideas and sources for his journalism courses. He and a group of classmates are working on a story about border laws for international recording artists.

“If I’m going to be playing shows with international artists, then why not talk to them?” Garcia said.

A long-forgotten Canadian superhero is gaining attention as Hope Nicholson and Rachel Richey help us remember the golden age of Canadian comics.

pg 15


M any people are familiar with the Golden Age of comic books in the

1940s. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and many more famous heroes came out of

the Golden Age, but a lot people don’t know that Canada also had its own Golden Age of comic

books.The most popular hero of this “Canadian Golden Age”, was also

Canada’s first super heroine. But despite that impressive designation, chances are you’ve never heard of Nelvana of the Northern Lights. Hope Nicholson and Rachel Richey want to change that.

“Most people haven’t heard about her,” Nicholson said. “I think part of the reason is, Superman was created at around the same time and has been printed and reprinted and re-imagined so many times in the last few decades that he’s constantly in people’s minds. But some Golden Age characters, especially the Canadian ones, have never been reprinted since.”

This set the pair on a path, and the two of them teamed up and started a project aimed at restoring and reprinting her original comics.

Talking to some students around the SAC campus, even the biggest comic book fans haven’t heard of her. But their interest is piqued when they find out who she is.

“I think it’s fantastic that they are being reprinted,” Ivan Trinier said. “With them being obscure it makes it difficult to find copies if you’re interested in Canadian comics ... I just think it’s a shame it took so long for them to do it.“

So, who is Nelvana?She was created by Canadian painter Adrian

Dingle after being inspired by Franz Johnston—a member of the Group of Seven—and his stories from the Arctic. Johnston spoke of an elderly storyteller, who happened to go by the name Nelvana. From these stories came Nelvana of the Northern Lights, defender of the Northern people.

She has the ability to melt steel, read minds, turn invisible and travel on a ray of Northern Lights, but what’s more remarkable is the fact that she’s also aboriginal.

“Not only is she the first super heroine to have her own continuing comic, she’s also an Inuk,” Richey said. “She’s not even

just a white character, which is just unheard of in comics. She is so far ahead of her time.”

The fundraising is already well under way, with their Kickstarter campaign raising over $50,000—which is notably twice their set goal—and they’ve already garnered attention from major news outlets such as the Toronto Star, The National Post and the CBC, just to name a few.

For both Nicholson and Richey, reviving Nelvana isn’t just a passion project, but it’s also about shedding light on a piece of important Canadian history and to promote Canadian comic books and comic books in general.

“It’s definitely mostly comic fans and collectors that are probably going to be interested in Nelvana,” Nicholson said. “But there are also people who are just fans of Canadian culture and history as a whole, so it might get them to see comics books as a medium, not just a genre.”

“M o s t p e o p l e h ave n ’ t h e a rd a b o u t h e r. . . S u p e r m a n wa s c re a t e d a t a ro u n d t h e s a m e t i m e a n d h a s b e e n p r i n t e d . . . s o m a n y t i m e s i n t h e l a s t few d e c a d e s

With arms straight, lift arms up behind you while keeping your back straight and your shoulders down. Keep the shoulders relaxed away from the ears. Breathe deeply and hold for 10-30 seconds. Never stretch to the point of pain. Never bounce. Straighten but do not lock elbows.


D o you get physical stress as well as mental stress from all the school or desk work? Well you are not alone. And please do not suffer alone.

Hunching over from studying in front of a computer can encourage poor posture and lead to different musculoskeletal conditions such as rounded shoulders, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis in the elbow. These conditions are caused by improper ergonomics and a muscle imbalance that will eventually lead to pain and restrictions of muscles and joints.

To avoid these common issues, practicing proper ergonomics such as sitting up straight, head in line with monitor and having feet flat on the ground will help promote a healthy aligned posture. Taking a break from studying in front of the computer and walking around will also decrease the likelihood of developing common musculoskeletal conditions. Adding gentle stretches into your daily routine will also be beneficial to help relax and elongate tight muscles. Stretches should be done throughout the day and held anywhere from 15 – 60 seconds until a stretch is felt in the muscle.

Work Smart Not HardThe life of a student can take a toll on your body. From long hours of work, to the repetitive stress of homework. Here are two solutions to give your body a break.

EstheticiansAsha Culzac and Sabrina Estwick


Asha- For me it was needing a career. I was getting older and then I remembered I took it in my early 20’s because I needed some high school credits and I did great and got a certificate in it. I actually enjoyed and thought I’ll go to college and upgrade it where the certificate is recognized so I can work in the field properly. Without any hassle or headaches.

Asha- Stick to something you really want to do. It’s a big field, it expands so far. So at least narrow it down to something you really enjoy. I know not everyone is going to enjoy everything we learned in the field. So basically narrow it down and look at a spa that does what you enjoy doing, so you enjoy going to work. A lot of people don’t like pedicures, so don’t work somewhere where you’re going to do a lot of pedicures.

Asha- The clients, they’re great to be around. My bosses are pretty fun to be around. It’s a quiet environment and I like quiet. The environment is good and I like the clients too. Even the ones that have bad days you can still make them have a good experience and get them to come back. Even the ones that come in moody, half of them leave here feeling fine and you’ll see them again. I like meeting new people, I’m a people person.

Asha- I would say my mother, because she raised four kids by herself.

Asha- For me it was everything to do with my field and all the hands-on stuff. Didn’t really care for the gen-eds.

Sabrina- I was taking business before, but I didn’t like the program. So I chose something I was familiar with. My Mom is an esthetician as well. So it just came naturally.

Sabrina- I would say to just make sure you pick a placement that relates to what you want to do, because I feel like I was put in the wrong placement for what I want to do. It was at a medical spa. I like doing facials and stuff like that, but they don’t do stuff like that there.

Sabrina- I like the quiet environment and I like everyone that works here. Everyone is so nice.

Sabrina- Anna Netrebko an opera singer. (Sabrina’s dream is to be an opera singer and came to Canada to study music originally).

Sabrina- I didn’t have a favourite part, I just loved everything about it. The spa business aspect.

Asha- When I knew they were opening it, my coordinator told me about it and then I came to apply and realized I hadn’t finished a gen-ed that I needed. But my class was done and I had passed everything and by the time I came to apply I still needed my English. So I went back and as soon as I graduated in the AWC, I walked over and dropped off my resume. It’s close to home, close to where my son is. Right after graduation I applied.

Sabrina- I just saw the posting online and sent my resume in. I was a little nervous because I’ve only ever had one other job and I didn’t have an interview for it.

How did you get hired?
