Others have pointed this out, but I'm going hit the nail with a hammer as well (again) myself as someone still looking for work: 1. ONE Job Title If you are listing multiple jobs on a position, you are NOT listing one position (i.e., Technical Writer / Waffle Cone maker). For those of us looking, we're not greedy, a single job, in position where we bring value to your company and satisfaction to us, will do just fine--unless you want to pay us to do more than one job as you appear to be advertising?--yeah, thought so. 2. Job location a. If the job will be "On-site"--say "On-site". b. If the job will be "Hybrid"-list it as "Hybrid". I'm seeing jobs posted as "Remote" and then buried in the description it says "Hybrid, "X" days per week in office required."--that is NOT "Remote"... So either someone did a cut-n-paste, then didn't proof read (maybe why you need a technical writer? 🤔), or the left hand / right hand are not in sync--whatever the reason, you're wasting our time as Job seekers if we are looking for a specific job setting. Look, we are all tired of this circus--YOU need resources, WE need jobs. Simple Math here... Putting the hammer away for now.

I have experienced this for the last 20 years, and maybe you have, too. PSA rant: If you are a business, organization, or agency that hires professional talent (VoiceOver artists, on-camera talent, singers, musicians, crew, writers, producers, any hired staff, etc.) on a contract basis to produce creative content in any way... please pay your invoices faster and on time. I implore you. This is one of the only industries I am aware of where, somehow, you can pay your talent 90-180 days after the job was completed. It is seemingly acceptable to take that long. But it's not. It's not acceptable. It's taking advantage of people. People rely on timely pay for jobs performed. Simple. That's what makes a healthy working ecosystem. Talent/crew/writers/directors and all: Advocate for each other. We can do this better.

I’m going to be completely vulnerable here: its taking everything within me to not pack up my entire life and move back home to my parents house. The entertainment industry has nearly completely ruined my hopes and dreams of making it end just a little bit as a creative/screenwriter/filmmaker. Countless lay-offs, reboot this, and canceled season that. I want so badly to give up. To move back east. But, somewhere in inside me is that tiny flame still burning, yearning to stay. I’m at my wits end. My head constantly hurts because I’m always in a panic. I have no money, can’t pay bills, or even put gas in the car to go to an interview for a regular job I don’t even want to work. I’m sitting here doing an application through UTA for a simple Assistant job they probably won’t even pick me for because I’m either overqualified (Masters degree) or don’t have enough experience in their eyes of 2-5 years. Well how can I gain experience if I don’t have the experience of HAVING the experience?? Am I supposed to come in already knowing how to do the job?? I can’t even focus on artwork for a friend, can’t focus on reading other people’s scripts for a writer’s group I’m in, can’t even work on my own series outline without my mind wondering to how am I going to pay rent? Or pay the light bill? I’ve been sitting at home daily emailing production offices about being a PA in any capacity. Emails to different agencies/studios for even reception work or literally anything at this point. Countless applications and so many rejections or ghostings. I truly feel lost. And, believe me when I say that having money and steady income could solve every single problem I have because it’s true. Just had to vent for a second… #ineedhelp #lookingforwork #entertainment #assistantwork #venting

This is what happens when you don't utilize the internet to figure out what's going on in your chosen field... If you don't know that there are "a million" AMERICAN Editors 🧙♂️ out of work, you're going to think there's something wrong with your application process as opposed to realizing you're way down the totem pole as far as being hired. Another issue is that later in the thread, the Poster is COMPLAINING that the pay isn't good where he or she lives. 🤷♂️ um... That's why Americans outsource work... because it's insanely inexpensive. So this person is caught in a trap. 1) Work locally and get paid little. 2) Get outsourced work and get paid little. #VideoEditing work is acquired via word-of-mouth, connections, networking, and people you have already provided WINS for telling other people about their experiences when they worked with you. 🙏 If you don't have any of that, you're going to only attract price-shoppers as opposed to quality-shoppers. - If you say you're really good at washing cars so you want $50 and the actual Car Wash is $30, you lose. - If you say you want $25, which is less than the Car Wash, the Car Wash takes 10 minutes and you take 2 hours and you lose. - If you say you want $20 and somebody else says they'll do it for $10, you lose. There is no "I live in the 3rd World and nobody knows me and nobody's ever heard of me and I've never edited anything important or noteworthy and how do I get paid a lot to edit video in the USA? 🇺🇸" Your best bet would be to work for AN AGENCY that is already heralded so they're earning well and then they have incentive to pay YOU well if you have what they need to make their margins and run a profitable company. 💰😁 But no. You, as somebody that nobody knows and nobody TRUSTS aren't going to be winning this situation on your own. There are way too many higher-quality Editors 🧙♂️ out of work for you to receive anything other than a lowball offer, which is exactly what you're trying to avoid. And I'm not even talking about The Sticks either. 🤠 Unemployed in Los Angeles (film) and New York 🗽(television) so you can forget about 3rd World wherever. Your best move is to find out who's earning LOCALLY in your area, network with them, impress them with what you've already done, and have them consider you when there's some higher-paying work that appears. 🤝 I'm not saying don't keep trying... GOOD LUCK to you, but this isn't the time to try to do what you're talking about. Get your money. Demonstrate your value. Climb the ranks if you can.

Simple problems often have multiple solutions. Especially in staffing. I’ll give you an example from a client of ours. This company was looking for a consistent crop of technical writers. Without those writers, they couldn’t ship products. Which meant that every time a writer called in sick, took a vacation, or left (with or without notice), their sales processes slowed down. A simple problem, right? The solution was also simple: build out a network of writers to backfill open positions and keep shipping. That was one approach. But there’s another solution that the client missed: keep those writers from leaving in the first place. Now, there was nothing we could do about sick days, parental leave, or vacations. But we did look at people who just didn’t show up or suddenly resigned and asked: why are they leaving? And we addressed the root cause by providing benefits, PTO, regular reviews, pay increases, opportunity for bonuses, regular professional development, etc. Essentially, giving them the same experience as employees. The moral of the story: every problem has multiple solutions. Tackle all of them, and you’re unstoppable.
