2. Job Searching platforms
I started out with finding out how to find jobs. I first tried indeed but
indeed is best for small summer jobs rather than real work, linkedin
was the best for me personally as usually employers were more
detailed in what they were looking for and they even show you the
type of people who have been accepted for the role
3. Job vacancies
One of the main job vacancies I have looked at is at Black Revolver Films as it
is an entry level position that only requires experience and a shown passion
for filmmaking
For this job I would have to
Relocate to Northampton but
I am fine to relocate as long as it
Furthers my career in the industry
The only issue is that the listing does not say anything about pay and
obviously you need a liveable income to move somewhere for a job however
since its an entry level job im going to assume minimum wage for it
4. Another job I looked at was a job on production at the Sunderland
esports centre. This job could be good because it is in Sunderland
therefore, I wouldn’t have to spend money relocating to another city, also
the job pays about 22k-30 a year which is a pretty decent income
however this job requires experience in the media field which is
something I am going to need to develop over time with different smaller
jobs.
5. Moving forward
A lot of the jobs in the industry today are very experience based rather
than grades based like I was expecting which is good as I don’t have the
highest GCSE grades, however this does mean I will need to get more
experience I am going to research into a job as a tv show runner or an
internship that helps shows my skills in this industry to get a better and
higher paying job in the future
6. Social media internship
Currently South Shields FC has a vacancy for a Social Media Intern,
small jobs like this can help me break into the industry better as it is a
higher-class bit of work, I do have the experience for something like
this as I have done a work placement doing social media for a piercing
parlor so getting a job like a social media intern for a slightly bigger
place could help me get more experience in the industry and overall a
better and bigger job.
