"Jessica Sitomer's book reminds me of the old adage: 'Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.' There is no shortage of books on bookshelves in bookstores offering up the Hollywood hopeful a fish (or in most cases, something fishy). Sitomer provides a strategy on how to create a career so you will work (and eat!) for a lifetime."-Andrew Kreisberg, Executive Producer, Arrow, Writer, Boston Legal, The Simpsons

Entertainment Industry Question 59: Question: How do you know who to contact about getting a job when the job you want is not posted on any website?
- Created on June 1, 2016
- Written by Jessica Sitomer
Jessica’s Answer:
I wonder how you found out about a job that isn’t posted on a site. Whoever gave you the lead is where I would start.
Let me rephrase this question to help a larger scope of people.
How do you pursue a job that you want, when there’s currently no opening? You create relationships with as many people on the show/project/company as you possibly can. This way when a job does open, you’re top of mind.
Tips:
1. Create a target list of 10 shows/projects/companies
2. Contact 1-5 people per show/project/company as a mentor
3. Continue to build and deepen the relationships
