• Opinion
• Editorials
• Columns
• Reviews

Casting Agent
• A casting agency works as the middleman
  between talent/modeling agencies and clients
  searching for people to fit their projects. Models
  and actors are notified by their agencies or by the
  casting agency themselves (if they are freelance)
  about upcoming casting and opportunities, which
  they are able to audition for. Many casting
  agencies provide the space for the casting and
  auditions to take place and handle
  the correspondence between both parties.
Screen Writing
• If you ask professional screenwriters what
  they do, the answer you might get more often
  than any other is “rewrite.” Many people
  mistakenly believe that because the
  average screenplay is 100-120 pages in
  length, it is easier to write than a novel. A
  good screenplay requires at least as much
  preparation and work as a novel, and if it gets
  picked up for development, the screenwriter
  will invest much more work.
Advertising

  man, the Egyptians used advertising to sell
  crops, weapons and other goods. This was
  mainly done on bill boards or papyrus. But it
  was used all around the world such as the

  converse more easily. A radio talk show host may
  have a college degree in
  communications, broadcasting, or
  journalism, depending on the type of radio
  show he or she will be working on.
Game designer
• A video game designer develops the layout, concept and
  gameplay of a video game. This may include playfield
  design, specification writing, and entry of numeric properties
  that balance and tune the gameplay. A game designer works
  for a developer
• This person usually has a lot of writing experience and may
  even have a degree in writing or a related field
