Tips for Entertainment Industry Jobseekers
Ben Klein - Founder/Partner, Hundred Days
- “Be concise in your introduction email. Employers get hundreds of job applications for the same role. Include one sentence introducing yourself and two to three sentences explaining why you're a fit. Be sure to include your relevant work experience.”
2.“Use correct grammar and punctuation. About half of the applications we get have incorrect grammar, formatting, or spelling errors. Do the little things right!”
3. “Go above and beyond to gain experience for the role you're applying for. Learn the craft through online tutorials on YouTube, offer your services for free to gain hands-on experience, and demonstrate that you've successfully done the type of work the job requires.”
4. “Align with a company that shares your values. At Hundred Days, we value transparency, hard work, and kindness. Know who you are, what's most important to you, and what you're looking for in the people you work with.”
