TV Jobs.......

I have seen a lot of job postings lately. One company in particular has a least 3 jobs posted everyday. It kinda makes you go hmmmm......It could be a good thing or a bad thing. Every job is a learning experience. You take away lesson learned from each position, make friends or not. I have learned something at every job I have had....freelance or otherwise.  You  should  keep a good attitude and look at each job as a learning project. I take what I learned an to the next job. In television, people move around a lot. I was once told by a professor that you should move every two years. That can be true, until you can write your own ticket.....here are few leads to help you along your journey. Happy Hunting!
