From Career Change to Fully Booked Freelancer
Robbie's portfolio officially launched in under four months. Being in the bootcamp community, he was privy to exclusive opportunities to start making a name for himself as a freelancer.
After the portfolio was live for about 3-4 months, he had so many work opportunities that he had to start turning some down.
He left his job at the end of January, took a month off, and by November was working fewer hours, with complete flexibility of his schedule, and making more money than in his previous career.
“Before signing up for the bootcamp, I had just left a decade-long career of scientific diving. As part of my training duties in this role, I had been creating some eLearning for the program. I loved it, so when I left that career, I jumped headfirst into instructional design and eLearning development.”
“Every shred of skepticism had completely dissolved by the first two weeks of being in the bootcamp. I was part of a collaborative and supportive team, I was listening to and participating on weekly workshops led by Devlin, and I was able to meet directly with Devlin and receive expert feedback on my projects.”
“It became evident very quickly that this investment would provide tremendous returns to help me do things like network and build a portfolio so that I could start finding work as a freelancer. I am confident that I would not have this much success in this amount of time if it had not been for Devlin's bootcamp.”
