Saturate the Market - Job Sites

So I just finished applying to 7 or 8 jobs across the US. Some more appealing than others but pretty much everything from Registration Director with the Austin Film Festival to Crowd Control for Jerry Springer. I would love to get a job, but at this point I would be happy with just a call back and interview.

Here are some of the websites that I check periodically:
General Electric

Disney

Time Warner

Fox

MTV

602 Communications

The link will take you directly to the job search page for each company and you can input your criteria and they will show you what openings there are.

Good luck in your job search although I guess if you check those sites it makes us competition. (But good luck anyway)

Demo Reel

Good things come to those who are patient.

So not a lot to report at the moment. I looked up movies that are about to start into production and e-mailed and faxed my resume to a couple production companies, but no returns so far. I am going to look into more and keep trying. Gotta be persistent.

Also, I made a demo reel of the work that I did in College. Check it:



I'll keep updating it and making it better, this is just a start so that I have something to send if a reel is requested.

A friend that I graduated with that is Mass Comm with me asked me a favor the other day. She wants to audition for the host of a travel website and needs to make a one minute video and she asked me to help her make it. I said I would and we had a meeting today to figure out what all was going to be in the video. We're going to be pretty ambitious and try to make an awesome video. Maybe I will get some good shots to add to my demo reel. Plus, she said that if she gets the job she'll pay me $1000. So needless to say, I have a lot to benefit from doing a bad ass job at making this audition tape.

Other than that, gonna keep looking for some work. Till next time....
