Film x TV Job Round-Up 1/15!
Highlights: A lot of assistant gigs - Netflix, Disney, Liongate and personal along with SO MANY marketing opps. So phenom NYC opps too!
Well…
a lot can change in a week, a day, a second. I was in my delulu state of optimism last week and it’s definitely been… dulled. I debated posting this but at the end of the day, sadly, despite all our wishes, the world keeps spinning, even when we’re begging for just a brief break… but people need jobs because rent is still due, isn’t it? In a lovely turn of events - the job boards were surprisingly ful and that was nice to see and I even got emailed a few gigs to add on.
Now more than ever we want to keep jobs in LA. So, please wow with your resumes and let’s keep trucking on. As always, here’s a roundup of the most promising and exciting jobs I came across this past week—though few are well-paid, some come from great companies and others were shared by friends! PSA: ‘Promising’ doesn’t always mean ‘well-paid’ because, well, this is Hollywood, where capitalism reigns and cheap labor is often exploited for the sake of your dreams. Below are the sites I use to sift through and find the jobs I think are worthwhile—either in terms of quality or promising companies.
Business Focused:
LinkedIn (Best to go company by company)
UTA Job List (Monthly)
Stage 32 (Free to sign up but it often seems to have more people offering their services or “programs”)
Tracking Board (7 day free trial and $78 after that)
Entertainment Jobs on Jooble (all over the country!)
Entertainment Careers (semi-free but then paid for some “bigger jobs”)
More Prod Focused:
Facebook groups are also an amazing option just make sure to vet people!
“Salaries” are always included here because I don’t want you to click any further if that amount won’t work for you and for full transparency when I can because i KNOW that these are WHACK wages/salaries. I also have a post coming out about my favorite *survival or thrival*** jobs. But as I find better ones, I’ll make sure to highlight those at the TOP of the lists! Currently they are going to be MOSTLY LA and categorized by:
Internships
Assistants & Entry
Marketing & PR
Dev/Exec Level
Production & Other
If there’s more specific niches you’re looking for, let me know and I’ll do some digging and ask around to my contacts! To me, the following jobs are from quality (as quality as they can be), vetted companies and opps that can give you a good birds eye-view of that sector of the industry and/or allow you to meet people who can guide you.
Pro-tip! FIND YOUR REFERRALS Make sure with any of these jobs and really for any place you dream of working… always be on the lookout and research to see if you have connections at the company - maybe you grew up in the same town or city as someone who works there, you went to the same high school, you’re both college alumni of University of Missouri, whatever! Try to start networking with those people today. Ask them for a 10 minute intro chat, buy them a coffee, just connect on LinkedIn with a thoughtful message! So, when the perfect job comes along you can ask about a referral to up your chances.
