Film x TV Job Round-Up! - 8/21/2024
I am over the moon today + lotta assistant opps!
I was not feeling very motivated this week with my Substack or life in general but two!!! people in my tiktok live yesterday let me know that this list/my advice helped them secure their jobs in the entertainment industry has me likeeee!!!!
Let’s get into another round-up of favorite internships, assistant gigs and more in the film industry.
Pro-tip! 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 and when the perfect job comes along you can ask about a referral to up your chances.
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!
And at the completion of every month I’m going to open up the last month’s job roundup, so here is the full June 2024 job roundup list!
“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.
