R

Over 450 WordPressers took The Future of WordPress Careers survey, and the results have been summarised and presented in the infographic below. Idea for my talk The idea for my WordCamp Europe talk came from my personal research around careers, and thinking about what kind of career I am looking to build. WordPress is my first digital community, before working in WordPress, I was working as an...

Open Source Survey: The Future of WordPress Careers

O

My aim is to present the survey results at WordCamp Europe Berlin, where you can be a part of my talk titled “Renaissance jobs in WordPress: Skills you need to survive the 21st-century career”. The survey aims to identify...

Renaissance jobs in digital: What skills do you need to survive a 21st century career

R

Renaissance jobs, also otherwise known as hybrid roles are a mishmash of more than one skill, a combination of expertise in more than one domain. You might have come across roles such as experience architect, user experience consultant, or even customer wrangler, all of these typically involve technical knowledge, excellent communication and management skills. All of these roles...

Do I need a university degree to succeed in digital?

D

Full Disclosure I have a BA and an MA, so this is a really difficult question for me to answer unbiasedly. However, I would be lying to you if I said that you need a university degree to succeed in digital. The reality of the job market, specifically digital is very different. I have worked with professionals who are educated lawyers, but work as digital coordinators, with literature graduates as...

Summer lovin’…

S

… had me a blast. Do you know what song I am thinking of? This is my all time favourite song and movie, and when I was little I used to make everyone sing it with me. I was Sandy, and Danny took on the shape of my stepfather, brother, friend, anyone really who would humour me! So today in honour of all those happy memories, I wanted to share with you my summer lovin’. This summer has...

Should you embellish your stories?

S

Some people are born natural storytellers and most of those people have one key thing in common; they embellish stories. How do I know this? My parents are masters of embellishment when it comes to stories. I was lucky to grow up with them, because everyday things like going to the supermarket became exciting when told by my parents. As I grew up I realised that some things weren’t exactly...

My Christmas story

M

prefer Christmas to my birthday, or to any other holiday. It’s all the typical stuff that makes it so special; family, friends, the Christmas tree, the food, the fact it’s definitely OK to open a bottle of Champagne at 10am. Everyone comes home, we eat, we drink, we open presents, and watch Christmas movies. It’s a very typical Christmas day. That aside Christmas gives everyone...

Overcoming impostor syndrome

O

ccasionally, I wake up feeling like an impostor. I question all of my previous experience, and convince myself that everything so far has been luck, which of course is about to run out. I have heard the sentence “I feel like an impostor“, from every ambitious, motivated, hard-working person I know.  So, why do we keep questioning our abilities? I have a theory I want to share with you...

Learn how to tell stories from master storytellers

L

One of the many things I learned at The Power of Storytelling conference in Romania, Bucharest, is that storytelling is the most democratic form of creativity. Murray Nossel, says that people can argue about politics, social and cultural beliefs, and opinions, but they can’t argue about experiences. Your story is what happened to you. I want to take a few hundreds words and tell you about...

You were definitely amazing, and friendly as usually. I didn't expect anything less. Well organised, good in team work, but also, I think everyone had a feeling you were there just for them.
