Before the Next Season Begins: A June Moment of Clarity!

For those who can relate, changing careers is a major step. But choosing to skip traditional employment and dive straight into freelancing can feel even more daunting. Still, freelancing can turn a career change into a real success story.

Newcomers and the Value of Degrees

When you’re just starting out, it’s easy to feel overlooked. Many companies prefer candidates with experience, and newcomers often struggle to find their place. In this situation, it’s natural to wonder: do degrees and certifications still matter? While they can open doors, they aren’t always enough on their own. So, what’s their real value? They show you’ve developed certain skills, but in a world where you can learn almost anything, they shouldn’t be the only factor that counts.

When No Company Gives You a Chance

After facing multiple rejections, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But why wait for a company to give you a chance? Freelancing is a powerful alternative—it allows you to create your own opportunities. Becoming self-employed, and maybe even launching your own business someday, means you can dream big and pursue your goals. Sure, there will be sleepless nights and tough challenges, but the freedom and independence are worth it. And you’re never truly alone on this journey—mentors and communities are out there to support and guide you.

Standing Out With Your Personality

In a competitive market, it’s essential to stand out. But how? Through your personality. Experience matters, but skills can always be developed. What really sets you apart are your human qualities—how you work, how you communicate, and the passion you bring to your projects. So why not trust newcomers, knowing they’re eager to learn and prove themselves? Expertise comes with time and practice, and anyone can grow into their role with persistence and dedication.

Learning From Tough Times

Moments of doubt and failure are part of the journey—but they’re also full of valuable lessons. What I’ve learned from my own rough patches is this: always fight for what you want, no matter the obstacles. Never giving up is key. Freelancing is built on mutual relationships—I choose my clients, and they choose me. That connection should be based on respect and trust.

Trial Periods: A Chance to Grow

It’s true—starting out as a freelancer isn’t easy. But every project, every trial period, is a chance to learn. It helps you figure out what fits you best, improve your skills, and better target future opportunities. And most importantly, the people you meet along the way can lift you up and bring out the best in you. That’s also what I aim to offer my clients and collaborators.

Finding Your Place and Thriving

In the end, it all comes down to one feeling: being in the right place. A place where people believe in you, trust you, and give you the space to grow. Everything else? Let it go. Starting a freelance career after a professional shift is a challenge—but it’s also a unique opportunity to build a career that truly reflects who you are.

Wishing you all a beautiful summer, filled with exciting new projects and enriching experiences!
