Job search resources for TV and FILM?

[Morningstar]

I'm looking for a new job in the NYC area, and Mandy.com, and Craigslist don't have much going on right now. Does anyone know of other places to look for jobs in Television or Film (or have friends in the industry that happen to need an incredibly organized kick ass production coordinator)? To be specific, I am looking for work as a Production Manager, Associate Producer, basically any variety of Production Coordinator. (also interested in assistant editor positions) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hit the pavement! get yourself a NYC production guide (the little yellowish book) and start calling production houses and what not.

Good luck.

You could try sending your resume to existing production companies who aren't necessarily advertising available jobs. You might focus on smaller companies, since they'll be more likely to actually look at your resume. If you'd like to be considered for freelance and temporary positions, mention it in the cover letter.

Good luck Tiff.

Tiff,

I suck. Didn't read your post.

Worse comes to worse, try interning somewhere if you can afford it. I did it. It sucks, but opens up the door for some money. It did for me.

This is all great advice, thank you! This will keep me plenty busy.

Nick- How long did you intern for? I was thinking about saving up money and then maybe doing some short term interning. So risky though, just thinking about working without an income (or medical benefits) freaks me out.

and major corporations have their own websites, turnerjobs.com, wbjobs.com, homeboxoffice.com, foxworld.com... blah blah blah. but they usually fill those internally.

there's still a lot on hotjobs and monster too, i hate to admit.

viacom and ctw have internal temps they circulate all over.

mandy seems to be the most promising

I interned at a post house for about 8 months. At first, I didn't get to do much of anything, but as soon as they saw that I knew my way around an Avid, I would pick up odd jobs digitizing for people, cutting demo reels, etc. I eventually got a sweet freelance job out of the deal that paid the bills for a bit. If you can do it, I recommend going somewhere and interning. (especially you, Tiff... cause I've seen you in action and know you work your ass off)
