The Hiring Trinity: Relationships, Quality, Experience
hierarchical model for professional editor viability, positing that consistent employment depends on three core pillars: strong professional relationships, demonstrable quality of work, and relevant experience. The framework suggests that relationships and the client's positive experience of working with you often outweigh raw talent or a long list of credits, especially for securing repeat business and referrals.
notes
Zack Arnold's emphasis on quality over quantity in networking underscores the 'Relationships' pillar of the trinity. He argues that a single, genuine connection (like his with Dody Dorn) is infinitely more valuable than a thousand cold emails, as these relationships are what truly open doors.
