Kariera
Kiedy wybierzesz ścieżkę kariery, dużo łatwiej będzie Ci radzić sobie w obliczu poważnej nieprzewidywalności. Pomyśl o tym w ten sposób — o ileż łatwiejsze byłoby podjęcie istotnej decyzji, gdybyś dokładnie wiedział, czego chcesz? Czy łatwiej, czy trudniej byłoby dyskutować o nowym projekcie, gdybyś wiedział, że doskonale wpisuje się on w Twoje cele z obszaru kariery? Jak przebiegałaby rozmowa okresowa z szefem, gdybyś był przekonany, że chcesz zostać menedżerem? Wszystkie decyzje są łatwiejsze, kiedy wiesz, dokąd zmierzasz.

Wywiad z Zuchem na Blog.orange.com >> Recenzja serwisu Lubimyczytac.pl >> Lubię koty, ale długo się gotują… Witajcie w świecie małej agencji reklamowej, w której rządzi ześwirowany, nastawiony na maksymalną kreatywność szef… Tak naprawdę najważniejsza jest tu księgowa, ale ciiii… szef o tym nie wie. Do tego są graficy, informatycy, którzy prędzej zmienią tapetę na pulpicie niż sweter na grzbiecie, kopirajterzy i oczywiście ulubieńcy całego zespołu: akonci! Do tego rzecz jasna klienci. Ten świat jest w sumie bardzo prosty. Szef biega po firmie z szaleństwem w oczach, skąpiąc pochwał i wypłat. Klienci jak klienci — trochę pomarudzą, ale w końcu łykną projekt. Chyba, że wtrąci się akont… wtedy tematy wracają jak bumerang. Informatycy są dziwni, księgowa siedzi przy biurku wściekła i wyżywa się na Excelu, a kopirajterzy, pisząc kolejną instrukcję obsługi zupki w proszku, marzą o wyzwaniach na miarę Mad Mana. A wszystko skupia się na biednym grafiku, który przydomek „senior” ma tylko dla własnej satysfakcji, bo na godziwą wypłatę niestety się to nie przekłada. Sfrustrowany grafik, bloger i nałogowy bywalec Facebooka postanawia zatem poszukać innej pracy. Oczywiście w agencji reklamowej, gdzie rządzi ześwirowany, nastawiony na maksymalną kreatywność szef… Po ostatnim wpisie ubyło mi na fanpejdżu z trzysta osób. Chyba FB szwankuje, bo przecież nie mogło chodzić o wzmiankę na temat kociarzy? Bystre oko, cięty język i mnóstwo dobrego humoru. Całość zilustrowana charakterystyczną „zuchową kreską” minikomiksów, które niezmiennie rozbawiają nie tylko pracowników agencji… Biurowa codzienność w krzywym, bardzo krzywym zwierciadle. Wszystko to znajdziecie wewnątrz pierwszej książki ZUCH-a. Nazywam się Maciek Mazurek. Jestem mężem, tatą, grafikiem, blogerem, miłośnikiem kawy, yerba mate, projektowania po nocach oraz zespołu Pink Floyd. Nadmierne ilości kawy staram się wyprzeć przez yerba mate, w efekcie czego nadużywam obu. Cały czas nie kumam Excela, ale za to polubiłem sushi. Bloguję od stycznia 2009 roku. W tym czasie udało mi się zbudować bardzo fajną społeczność zgromadzoną wokół moich blogów zuchrysuje.pl i zuchpisze.pl. Jestem trzykrotnym finalistą konkursu BLOG ROKU. Wygrałem kategorię ArtBlogi w konkursie BLOG ROKU 2012. Dostałem też wtedy wyróżnienie główne. Od trzech lat jestem wymieniany na liście Kominka jako jeden z najbardziej wpływowych blogerów w Polsce. Jako grafik odpowiadam m.in. za wszystkie okładki płyt Luxtorpedy. KLIKNIJ, BY POWIĘKSZYĆ OBRAZEK :) Odwiedź koniecznie:
