sherifelshorbagy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi all, I am 26 year-old junior 3D architectural artist still seeking the opportunity in Europe, or Australia to start my real career! The question is until what age will I still be called junior? because honestly I am a bit afraid that I am not a junior anymore; and still couldn't make it anywhere! and when I apply to jobs once a studio liked my work; will they care too much about my history in my country or how many studios I worked for ? or my portfolio will be enough for them? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveG Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The question is until what age will I still be called junior? Age has nothing to do with it... you could still be a junior at 50 or you could be a senior at 19... it is a reference to your abilities not age.

sherifelshorbagy Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 CG thank you so much. If you could please help me in the second question I would be grateful: when I apply to jobs once a studio liked my work; will they care too much about my history in my country or how many studios I worked for ? or my portfolio will be enough for them?

CliveG Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Studios are going to care about your ability to deliver an acceptable quality of product under their studio's usual circumstances. (pressure / time stress / duress) So Portfolio is a big part of that, but if it's taken you months to produce a portfolio image rather than days, then that's going to be a concern for them. There are plenty of contributors here who are more involved in hiring and firing, who may have better advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikanikitina Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hey Sherif, In addition to what others have said, I think you must also consider the individual studios. A studio that may produce quick turn around images for architects for their internal design process may have a very different definition of what a junior or a senior artist’s responsibilities are. An artist may be ready to handle the responsibilities of a senior at one firm but not be ready to be client facing and taking the role of a creative director as well in a studio that produces images and films that we so excitedly drool over. Even within those studios, division of labor and responsibilities would most likely be split according to your talents and how you will best fit within a team. There are many components that go into making yourself a marketable artist. While they do revolve around your end product, the process that you take to get there still maters an incredible amount. Are you easy to speak with? Can you communicate effectively even when stressed? With clients? With other team members? Can you ask questions? Take initiative? Take a step back? Take criticism? and so on and on. Unfortunately, we can only attempt to answer these questions about ourselves. The reality? It is a matter of a good manager to discern all of this information. Hope this was of some help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
