Get in touch with the right people to land that dream job in the Entertainment Industry

Frustrated and Confused with the your job search?Are you sending out more applications than you can count and still receiving little to no response?

Time to take matters into your own hands!

One of the most effective steps you can take to get your application noticed is to get in touch with the person who ultimately makes the hiring decision for the position you applied for – whether that’s the head of the department, the head of the company or a member of human resources.

How do you get in touch with the right people?

Research!

Ideally, the job posting itself will tell you who to contact, making it easy to follow up with the appropriate person.

Most of the time, however, the listing won’t say specifically who to contact. This is where your “detective” skills come in.

Start with the information posted on the company’s website.

Sometimes, the website will have contact information listed for all employees or at least department heads. This is a good place to start.

If the company website keeps contact info hush-hush, try

calling the secretary of the organization to get more

information. Be polite, friendly and genuine when talking to this person. They may not be able to give out contact information, but you won’t know until you ask.

Another method for getting in touch with a hiring

manager is utilizing search engines and

social networks. Most people have a

profile on Facebook, Twitter or

LinkedIn. Do some exploring to see if you can find their personal or professional accounts,

and reach out to them through those avenues.

Now that you have some good ways to follow up on your job applications, you can start looking at job postings with

a better idea of how to get your name out there.
