I’m writing this Tuesday night so by the time I wake up and you all receive this, I hope that we have our first ever Black-female president despite all her party and plan imperfections! If not… SOS.

This better BE ME, YOU, all of us!

Edit…

I realized around 11:00 PM last night that this was not heading in the direction I hoped, I probably should have recalled this part of the post but my mind was elsewhere. Instead I’ll just add a morning of revision.

this is none of us, so I will be adding some words from Ethel Cain that I resonated with deeply.

“The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.”

Now, let’s get into the usual. Below are all the sites I use to sift through and find the jobs I think are worthwhile x quality or with 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:

Production Hub
Staff Me Up
Showbiz Jobs
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
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.
