Film x TV job round-up 4/23
Top line: SNL, Tonight Show internships are open!! A lotta assistant gigs and marketing!
another week, another round up!! Freshin’ up that resume and get goingggg.
REMINDERRRRRR #1 - STAY MOTIVATED
If this job market (world, country, whathaveyou) has you down… don’t worry. It’s not just you. I think this week’s Hollywood Hang with Meredith is the perfect dose of inspiration and GIGGLEZZZ!
REMINDERRRRRR #2 - CHECK YOUR REFERRALS AND ALUMNI NETWORKS
even if it’s your fifth cousin twice removed or a friend’s step-dad’s best friend’s wife, if you know someone who knows someone who works at these companies - get that intro and/or REFERRALLLLL!! It can make all the difference for the door creaking open vs. you having to smash it down. It never hurts to ask - I mean… you do need to actually have a semi-softball into this person, NO FULL RANDOS - but the worst they can say is no… or honestly that they just didn’t see the email/call in time. Legit no family connections? 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.
REMINDERRRRRR #3 - YOUR RESUME IS YOUR CALLING CARD, DO RIGHT BY IT!!
Make sure your resume is specific to the job you’re applying to. I KNOWW it’s annoying to make a custom resume for each “type of job” but if you’re applying to be an assistant, notate it at the top and list out all the jobs in the past and how they make you a great assistant not that you are actually above that job and taking a step back or floundering.
I have similar resumes with all various titles:
Marketing Director
Creative Director
Social Media Manager
Social Media Consultant
360 Marketing Campaign Lead
Paid Ads Specialist
I use these various titles when I am applying or reaching out to referrals and I know they have a specific need in mind!
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
Marketing & PR
Entry, Production, Post, Dev/Exec Level & 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.
