Working without a Net(work)

Almost 80% of jobs are never advertised according to Cornell University Career Services. This is called the hidden job market. How do people get these jobs? The secret is networking and we aren’t talking about how computers are connected. We are talking about how people are connected. Networking is defined in the dictionary as the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups or institutions. I want to point out the word “exchange” –that means that both sides give something to a network.

THESCRATCHPOST had the opportunity to catch up with Veronica Hernandez and ask a few questions about what it was like to be part of the crew on Henry Selick's recent film, Coraline. Not only has the web blogs been buzzing about the film, but the artists themselves have been overly excited to see their hard work finally be showcased to the public. We hope you enjoy the interview, and we are very thrilled to be part of the "inside" scoop for our readers! :)

Veronica Hernandez grew up in southern California and has been an artist ever since she can remember. Her parents felt like they couldn't buy her enough paper to draw on since she would draw on everything that had empty space on it, such as inside her book covers and even inside her lampshades. Although she wanted to ultimately be an artist, she ended up with a college degree in Cultural Anthropology.

Featured Artist – Todd Sheridan Perry

Todd Sheridan Perry grew up with movies. His mom wouldn't let him go see Jaws because he was 6 years old at the time. Perhaps a man-eating shark wasn't the best film for such a small child. Maybe Mom was right. That was the turning point, however, and there was no turning back. Like pointing your skis down your first Black Diamond, the journey may be rough, but you have no choice but to continue in the very direction you've started.
