The panel also highlighted the challenges freelancers continue to face during today’s testing economic climate.
Reema Lorford, COO of Gritty Talent, advised freelancers to spend time on developing their LinkedIn profiles. “It’s your living, breathing self and it may throw up new opportunities in adjacent, or even other, industries,” she said.
Sas Bonser, Talent Executive at BBC Studios Natural History Unit, added: “There will always be ups and downs. Just be willing to work across different genres – slight curveballs can be instructive in a career.”
