Sometimes it's hard being a junior... But then you realise it's waaaay easier than paying for a mortgage and trying desperately to keep your job, so you chill out and find a way to make it awesome. Sound like a good philosophy? Stan has an anecdote or two to help spread the good word. In last week’s Whip I wrote about people failing to turn up for appointments. Why did I do this? Because people who make an appointment to see me and don’t turn up shit me. End of story. However I should ... Read More! »

If you live in Sydney, Brisbane, somewhere else, or are just another lazy Melbourne shimshom, you definitely missed out on a great March Junior event. The throngs of good-looking Junior patrons were treated to a particularly interesting speaker in Barrie Barton--one of the talented few behind Right Angle Studio, The Thousands City Guides, and Rooftop Cinema.

A lot can happen in an instant. You could change someone's mind, or make them happy, or impressed, charm their pants off, make them smile, or just feel good. But don't confuse them, because Stan knows what he's on about, and that won't get you a job now will it?

When you sit down in front of someone to show them your folio you are at the mercy of their ... Read More! »

We're a bit lacking on the event photos this month. Unfortunately for you, Barrie Barton's tips were too engaging for our photographer monkey to take many photos. But we did manage to snap one of this new fandangled stationery moustache-esque accessory -- thanks Notemaker & O-Check! If you accidentally missed Junior this month, no fear!
