Synopsis

What other job pays you to fly to exciting places so you can meet fascinating people and film their amazing stories? Working in TV is the best career in the world, but it’s also fiercely competitive. To get the best jobs in TV, be it researcher on a peak time show or director on a prestigious documentary, you need to shine. This book shows you how to do that - with hundreds of tips and tricks of the trade from an experienced series producer and TV skills trainer.

It’s an insider’s guide to the skills required at every stage of a TV career, from work experience runner to producer; researcher to presenter. And in an increasingly multi-skilled industry it explains how you can become proficient in other areas, showing you how to shoot your own material, record your own sound and set up your own shoots: skills which could give you the edge when a promotion or job opportunity comes up.

There’s helpful advice on CV finessing, making contacts, writing job applications and interview technique, as well as guidance on how to avoid
mistakes which can cost you years wasting valuable time writing doomed applications and attending unsuccessful interviews.

It’s a must read guide to the TV industry; from thinking up programme ideas to contributor finding, self shooting to voice over writing, and everything in between. The inside track on how you can get the best job in the world - and do it well!
