Career Strategies

Here's a secret technique for finding a job in the industry
that has had amazing results! It will give you an advantage
over everyone else looking for work. Trust me on this one as
I have personally used it to find work, locate producers and
get deals. It's the bomb! Here's how it works.

First, go to Google and set up a "Google Alert". This feature
sends you an email every time something happens in the news.
Now, it will ask you to enter keywords for the search. Enter
something that relates to the type of work you are looking
for such as: "casting director", "new production company",
"in production" and so forth.

Save this alert. Now every time a new production company is
formed or a film goes into production you will get an alert
sent directly to you! From there do a little research and
gather the contact's name and address. If it is not included
in the alert you can go to www.imdb.com. It has an entire
database of industry information or you can just do a standard
search through your ISP.

Once you get the contact info send your resume or headshot
right away. Simple as one, two, three! Right? The great thing
about this is that you will be one of the first to receive this
information and ahead of the game. So your resume will be among
the first ones that they see.

But what I really like about Google Alerts is that you can set
up more than just one and enter as many keywords as you like.
I recommend that you keep them specific as possible.

I am sure that if done correctly this technique can help you
not just get a job but make serious contacts as well! Friend,
try it and see for yourself. And if you should need any help please
feel free to email me. Have fun!
