We’re so excited to continue our podcast series and we’re back today talking about other ways we get work. We recorded Part 1 a few years ago so be sure to listen to that episode if you haven’t already. We wanted to share some new things we are doing to find work as humanitarian storytellers. We discuss photo mailers, personal projects, requests for proposals, and being strategic about finding your target client. You can find the podcast with full transcript on our website.
