Hello UCLA job seekers! I am writing this post just prior to speaking on a panel that is aimed at job seekers. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my co-presenters and interacting with the audience on this important topic. As I speak I will be referring to a few links. They are included below.

In addition, on this blog you will see links to my Twitter and Linkedin. Feel free to follow me on both.

Congratulations on graduating. Good luck with your job search!

How to get a job

1. Join Twitter and follow me. I tweet about a lot of social media/job hunting related items. Follow your desired workplaces. Follow Mashable.

2. Join production newsletters like cynopsis.com. Contact the people hiring in the classified section, even if the job is not for you. Usually they are HR people. They hire every level.

3. Show up at your friend's gig and look like you fit in.

4. Listen to every conversation on every production you manage to get on.

5. Create a long list of contacts in your address book.

6. Join Linkedin and other networking sites that feature production.

7. Upload on YouTube so you can link to it in an email so that professionals can see your work EASILY.

Look at my links section. I will add more relevant links as I come across them.

8.Use Craigslist.
