What SPECIFIC skills and experiences are employers looking for in today's artists (graphic designers, digital artists and drawers)?

Question

And painters? 

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Sales.  You need to sell yourself.  Convince people that YOU are someone they want to invest in.  Artists are a dime a dozen.  You need to make yourself stand out as an individual.

Answer 2

SPECIFIC skills are up to the discretion of the employer.    Experiences?  Gimme a break.

Most businesses want the cheapest person who is capable of doing what they want.
