Life after Full Sail sounds like something that is so far away for some. However, 20 months comes and goes and students will soon find themselves walking out with a diploma being told to “go get em.” But where do you start? Who do you talk to? How do you nail those interviews to avoid living the rest of your life off of ramen and Little Caesars pizza? There’s a panel for that.

Life After Full Sail, moderated by Kathy Craven featured Tim Naylor, Leslie Brathwaite, Jack Geckler and Phil Pallen, and talked about where to start after you graduate.

Leslie talked about how he personally didn’t bring things to the table he “brought the table.” Explaining further, that he never went into interviews asking for a job, but rather offering his services as an audio engineer.

Jack, an animator, discussed the importance of asking for help rather than being proud, because at the end of the day, you’re wasting time and if you’re wasting time then you’re wasting money.

To find more tips and tricks on how to get a job once you’re out in the industry and how to make sure you can keep it, check out Full Sail’s YouTube, for those on the edge of graduating.

What are your plans once you graduate from Full Sail?
