some basic tips for getting a job in this horrible market

hi all -- long story short, as many of you know, i just finished a three+ month job search after being laid off. here's what i learned:

Your resume should be your accomplishments, not your tasks. When I started searching, my bullet points in my resume were things like "used x software" or "wrote x content." Your resume should be you bragging. EX: "I used x software to turn around 100 deliverables a month," "I managed [x amount] sales associates and was named highest commission earner x months in a row." These don't have to be lifechanging things or massive projects -- any metric that demonstrates your capabilities well can do the job.

Make sure your resume is ATS optimized. Most jobs/companies use automated resume processing, and lots of great people get rejected this way. If you're getting rejection emails on Sunday morning or in the middle of the night, these are probably auto-rejections. ATS is the automatic system that sifts through resumes -- you can find free ATS-optimized templates online, I got min through resume.com. Do NOT use fancy graphics, headshots, any extraneous info. Use sites like jobscan to see if your resume is able to be parsed by an auto resume processor.

Use numbers. Make sure your resume has lots of numbers indicating your skills. "I helped my franchise achieve X% of revenue growth," "I drove x amount of deliveries daily." Any impressive numerical amounts are useful. If your company is tight-lipped about numbers, go to press releases. Ex: an app I did a considerable about of work for generated a lot of money that my company disclosed, so I put down that i contributed to that revenue via my work.

Have a template cover letter. Cover letters can give you an advantage, but they're tedious. Take note of what qualities are most sought-after in your field/ideal role, and write a generic cover letter that applies to most of them. When applying, do minor tweaks such as including the company name or any unique qualifications. Be careful about typos and leaving in old tweaks!

Use the free month of LinkedIn Premium if you're on there. I got some results from cold DMing recruiters for jobs I was interested in, and Premium lets you do that freely. Remember to cancel at the end of the month!

If you're looking for remote work, here are some boards I used: Remote.co, Otta, Remote Rocketship, Swooped, Best Writing (writing-focused)

week of april 14th, 2024

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: you're on a post-eclipse wind-down. no matter what happened last week, although of course you must deal with it, i hope you are resting! the astrology is helpful with this - rest, nourish, it gives you strength.

taurus: mars sextiles jupiter and uranus in your sign, and meanwhile mercury in its retrograde conjoins your ruling planet venus. okay, mercury retrograde is not a crowd favorite. but overall this is auspicious for you; any change you need to make can be made. avoid grand actions, and actually avoid any action if possible, but make plans now to execute in a few weeks' time.

gemini: if you have been despondent or bummed out about mercury's retrograde, it does at least accomplish some nice little conjunctions. try to use the time well, even if it means spending a lot of time in your head. you don't have to go driving all around or sending a million emails to be productive.

cancerians: cardinal (especially aries) vibe rages on. but with that said it is a good time to beautify your public image. even if you don't go posting your headshots all over your linkedin or whatever, take a nice photo today, see how you feel. you can post it later or not. or now! or not. but at least see how it goes, or something similar if social media isn't pertinent to your social status.

leo: jupiter-uranus makes you a public persona. if you have wanted to develop an online presence, a political shift in the world, a legacy of any kind, sudden "viral" yet positive outbursts are likely for you around this week. you just have to give it the first little push.

virgo: although it is still a somewhat wild time it's actually a pretty sturdy period for virgoans, especially those with closer affinity to ceres than to mercury. if there is something you need to do or learn, it is a great time to lock in and get it done!

libra: venusian nodal activity means you're still not quite done with eclipse themes. hopefully that's not dreadful; hopefully it means great things are coming for you relationship-wise. there is also a jupiter-uranus conjunction in your 8th house, bringing positive changes to intimacy, magic, and/or shared resources.

scorpio: relationships are a very major focus at this time, with a lot of (mostly positive, try not to worry) changes but the end of the week also features a sun-pluto square in fixed signs. pluto is your ruling planet, but it is in aquarius at this moment. so these two bodies may well make a T-square to any natal scorpio points. it is uncomfortable but it brings about transformation, which in the end is kind of your whole deal.

sagittarius: the long-awaited jupiter-uranus conjunction happens in taurus this week. taurus is not a sign you are likely to feel much natural affinity or understanding with. but jupiter is your ruling planet - this is the biggest thing affecting you this week. try to live a little bit like a taurean, but one who embraces change and all the electricity alive in nature. be outside touching grass literally. the miracles then come easier.

capricorn: most modern astrology has you painted as something like a miser or suited up businessman but you're still the old god pan at heart. this week's jupiter-uranus conjunction brings that out of you - let it.

aquarius: even if you stay at home, the weirdness finds its way to you. so there's no need to alter your plans, although if you feel compelled to do so it won't hurt or keep opportunities away either. besides, weirdness has always suited you. this week's style of it is bold but benevolent. this is one of the last major uranian things of this uranus in taurus age, so enjoy it.

pisces: most of this week's events, large as they are, affect you only indirectly. have patience with others who are deeper in the trenches. not that compassion is any real difficulty for you. if you get the chance to volunteer to help someone it is good to take it.

Hey bitches! Are professional headshots a thing in like... regular jobs? My college is offering free professional headshots as part of their career services but I don't really know the point of them. Its not like you'd attach it to a resume and I'm going into business not theater or modeling. Is it worth it to get one? When would I actually use it?

Thank you!!!!

Hey kitten! Yes it is indeed worth it. Two very important points.

You're right--NEVER EVER EVER ATTACH A HEADSHOT TO A RESUME IF YOU ARE NOT IN A PERFORMANCE-BASED CAREER. Jesus Rollerblading Christ on a Fucking Cracker I cannot stress enough how gd awkward it is to evaluate a resume with a headshot attached. Don't do yourself dirty like that. Save it for the actors and models.

Professional headshots are super useful for your virtual worksona! (Worksona= persona you put on for work.) Use it as your LinkedIn profile pic! If your company uses Slack, use it as your profile pic there too. Make it your display image for your email while sending out job applications. It's not 100% necessary, but if it's free, you might as well take advantage of it.

My "professional headshot" is me in business attire and full makeup that my friend (a pro photo journalist) took of me in a local coffee shop. I've got my arms crossed and the kind of smirk-smile that says "I love the challenge of a fast-paced work environment." It's 10 years old and I don't give a shit.

To any newcomer joining the industry after they graduated college or just getting into the field, what is your advice on what they should do? Like if they are in LA/NYC or not in LA/NYC, what can they do?

Sorry if this is left field!

That's a huge question with a lot of variables, but fortunately our mods are also newcomers in the industry and have been through this ourselves so hopefully this is helpful :)

A couple things you can do to prepare yourself:

Unpaid internships, though clearly and obviously exploitative of vulnerable populations, are sometimes (UGH) the only or best way to get in the door and have something legit on your resume. (The paid internships are unfortunately so much more competitive, but definitely apply if you can!) A lot of internships and jobs are posted regularly on LinkedIn. This is a good Linkedin group to see job postings for young people working in entertainment.

How do you even make a resume for Hollywood internship/entry-level positions? Great question. Highlight any media experience (yearbook, newspaper, journalism, graphic design) and leadership experience. (Unless it's like, from middle school. That's too far back.) If you have the chance to submit a cover letter, focus less on trying desperately to prove yourself and more on who you are as a person: someone who is determined, yes, but would also be a good, solid coworker; any stories that reveal your talent for narrative and showcase your skills.

If unpaid internships aren't possible for you, consider checking out adjacent jobs in podcasts or journalism or other media, which would still be good on your resume before you make the switch to film/TV.

Get a nice, recent headshot (doesn't have to be a professional shoot, you just want to look professional in your social media and email profile pics.)

Join the picket lines in LA/NY if possible (WGA has the locations here). Everyone out on the picket line is supporting the future of the entire industry. It's not only the current workers on strike, but you and your peers too, who depend on the outcome of these negotiations. Also, if you consider yourself "pre-WGA" (interested in being a writer/WGA member in the future), there are a handful of groups organizing strike support for pre-WGA folks! Get plugged in with them.

Read the trade publications daily, or at least a couple times a week, to stay on top of what's going on in Hollywood. The typical places are Deadline Hollywood, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and I also like IndieWire and the NYT movies section personally for their profiles and reviews. Basically you just want to be someone who knows what's going on in your own industry and can talk intelligently about the state of things.

Likewise, podcasts. If you're going into TV writing, I can't recommend Children of Tendu enough. If that's not your specific field, search around for what other people in your field are listening to!

I hate having to say this, but... Twitter. Lots of WGA members, directors, actors, and industry people are active on Twitter, despite the, er, problems with the platform. Look for both pre-WGA and WGA people, connect with them, start building a community, maybe join a writing feedback group. (Again, since I'm a writer, that kinda applies to just writers, but I'm sure you can find other departments there too!)

On a similar note: You've probably heard a lot about the importance of networking—getting to know people in the industry who might be your coworkers in the future. That's important advice, but even better advice than that is to network horizontally, not vertically. Translation: Don't always seek out people who are in more advanced stages of their career than you: they're probably very busy and their lack of interest in lower-level people could be discouraging, even if it's just a reflection on their lack of time and not on you. Instead, network with people at the same stage as you—people who are new in LA/NY/the industry, people who are coming up and have similar passions and goals as you, people who are your coworkers and peers. I'm coming up with a lot of really cool people and it's very likely we'll all be in a position to help or hire each other 10, 20 years from now.

That said, you could also try to find a mentor who knows more than you do, but that's tricky territory because again... Hollywood. People are busy. But if you do get the chance to apply for a formal mentorship program, or if someone you know shows interest, having a mentor to go to for questions/advice is super valuable!

Acquire skills. Microsoft Excel skills. Standard screenplay formatting skills. Final Draft skills. Graphic design skills. Website building skills. A lot of people start in the industry at the assistant level, and these things are invaluable on your resume.

For writers specifically, I've heard the advice that you need to get 5+ shitty scripts out of your system before writing something decent. And from personal experience, that adage holds true. You need to write a significant amount of crap before you find your voice and get a handle on script formatting. Online classes and writing groups can help a lot with this.

Also for writers: You should not be trying to start your career as a professional writer without 3+ SOLID, GOOD SCRIPTS in your portfolio that match your voice as a writer, fit your (ugh) writer "brand", and have been revised based on feedback from writers you trust. If you have any doubt about the state of your sample scripts, go back to the drawing board and write a new pilot script.

If you want to be a creator, watch stuff extensively! Old stuff, new stuff, award-winning stuff, stuff that you'd want to write/direct/act in someday. Pick a director and watch everything they've made (or the same for writer/actor/costume designer/cinematographer.) You need to be decently fluent in what has come before you. This industry is only 100 years old, so it's very possible with time to become someone who knows the art form inside and out. Don't watch shallowly, either; watch deeply for analysis and critical thought.

Some final words from someone who cares deeply about the overall wellness of young people in the industry. This industry terrorizes people, and there are a lot of stories of abuse and breakdowns. (Oh, another recommendation, though pace yourself because it's a difficult book with a lot of potential triggers: Burn it Down by Maureen Ryan talks about industry abuse, written by a journalist who's tackled a lot of breaking news about abuse in Hollywood. Essential reading for people going into the industry.)

So prioritize taking care of yourself, and not just in the uwu self-care way, but the bone-deep "know thyself", "if you don't take care of yourself, you will literally cease to function" way. Love yourself enough to know when to step back and take time off. Love yourself to gain good time management skills so you can live a less stressful life. Love yourself enough to build a community of people who will look out for each other.

Wishing you the best of luck. If any pre-WGA/early career folks in the industry want to continue this conversation, this mod's main is @captaincrais.

5 Embarrassing Mistakes Professionals Make On Their LinkedIn Profile Photo

In today's professional landscape, LinkedIn has become the go-to platform for networking, job hunting, and personal branding. Your LinkedIn profile photo is often the first impression you make on potential employers, clients, and colleagues. Unfortunately, many professionals unknowingly make embarrassing mistakes that can harm their professional image. In this blog post, we will discuss five common mistakes professionals make on their LinkedIn profile photos and provide tips on how to avoid them.

1. Poor Image Quality: One of the most common mistakes is using a low-resolution or poorly lit photo. Grainy, pixelated, or dark images can make you appear unprofessional and unprepared. Invest in a high-quality headshot taken by a professional photographer or use a camera with good lighting to ensure a clear and crisp photo.

2. Inappropriate Attire: Your LinkedIn profile photo should reflect your professional persona. Avoid using photos with casual attire, party outfits, or beachwear. Dress appropriately for your industry and position, opting for business attire or a polished and well-groomed look. A professional appearance demonstrates your commitment to your career and makes a positive impression.

3. Distracting Backgrounds: Another mistake professionals make is using profile photos with distracting or unprofessional backgrounds. Your photo should have a clean and neutral background, ensuring the focus remains on you. Avoid busy or cluttered backgrounds that can divert attention away from your face. Consider using a solid-colored backdrop or a professional setting that aligns with your industry.

4. Unprofessional Expressions: Your LinkedIn profile photo should exude professionalism and approachability. Avoid using photos with inappropriate expressions, such as goofy poses, excessive smiling, or unprofessional gestures. Aim for a genuine smile and a relaxed yet confident facial expression. Showcasing professionalism and warmth in your photo will attract potential connections and opportunities.

5. Using Outdated Photos: Using an outdated photo can create confusion and undermine your credibility. Your profile photo should represent your current appearance, ensuring people recognize you when you meet in person or attend interviews. Regularly update your LinkedIn headshot photo to reflect your current look, whether it's a change in hairstyle, facial hair, or overall appearance.

Your LinkedIn profile photo is a crucial element of your professional online presence. Avoiding embarrassing mistakes on your profile photo can significantly enhance your personal brand and help you make a positive impression on potential employers and connections. Remember to use a high-quality photo with appropriate attire and a clean background. Showcase professionalism, approachability, and your current appearance to build trust and credibility in the online professional world. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can present yourself in the best possible light and leverage LinkedIn as a powerful tool for career advancement.

slow living dream job?!

Ok tbh I don't really believe in dream jobs anymore (you can read more about that here )but I had a moment of pure bliss last week dreaming about this one...

I had to drop off one of my quilts to a new longarm quilter last week and this was essentially the first time I'd ever been through that process. I sent my first quilt off to a friend's aunt to do for me and the process was way different.

So this quilter works out of her house and I sat in her front room while we talked all things quilting, picked out a thread color, and I flipped through a binder to pick out my edge-to-edge quilting design. We were both really in sync with what we liked and I loved hearing about her experience. She mentioned she was in the middle of canning something from her garden and when I left her house I was literally EUPHORIC.

Being a professional quilter seems to be the best slow living job I could ever have. Here's the benefits:

working from home

owning your own business

being creative daily

helping others, but not constantly in the presence of others

and the freedom to set your own schedule and work on other homesteading projects

I mean seriously... what more could I want? I've had friends tell me I should sell my fiber crafts in the past, but it's so not worth it to sell crochet or finished quilts because of the time investment. However, most people want to send their quilting off to be finished by a professional.

First, I should probably LEARN how to quilt on a long arm though hahah. (Also they're super fucking expensive.)

Anyways.... I wanted to share because this week I am set to take new headshots for my LinkedIn and continue the slog that is finding a new job.
