    For entry level stuff, there is almost no choice for the applicant

    But for something that requires talent, expertise and a specific set of skills, knowledge and education … you’re probably better off just talking to people and connecting to people the old fashion way - networking one on one.

      If I had the network in the UK, I would. Not a single one of my old L.A. entertainment industry people has contacts in the UK. It’s like there’s a wall of separation.

        I don’t suppose there’s a popular pub near where you want to work?

          I’m not in the UK yet. I am trying to get work first but the goal is to be wherever the work is before the end of January.

        Which part of the industry are you looking, if you don’t mind revealing?

          Honestly, anyone who can use someone with a vast amount of experience in audio and video production and post production (especially the latter), videography and content creation. And anywhere in the UK too as long as we can get out of the U.S. I have dual citizenship.
