TLD in the press: Social Media and Career Advice
Over the past few months, Top Left Design has featured in several publications sharing advice and top tips! From career advice to social media tips and how to learn from your mistakes, take a look at where we’ve featured in the press over the last few months.
My career advice
Last month I was interviewed by web design magazine, .Net, to share my career advice alongside other experienced industry professionals, for those looking to start their career in web design. I explained how I met one of my recent employees (Charlotte) at a Christmas Party and how her enthusiasm for the industry really impressed me, and that can get you far if you’re looking for a new job.
The article ‘Build your perfect career’ appeared in their latest print edition of the magazine which you can find here.
Social media tips

People tend to separate them if they have a few ‘embarrassing’ photos, but I believe that if you cultivate a good impression, you shouldn’t see the need to separate your accounts.
