A friend is looking to transition to a Producer role She’s spent the last several years working at Talent Agencies in NYC & here in DFW & has a solid understanding of production process. Any advice?

She probably knows about the talent side of production very intimately in some regards but likely has a significant learning curve on the rest of production of talent agency is her only experience. For on-set production she’s have to start entry level working for a production office and for agency she would have to come in at a junior level to get the guidance unless someone she knows can give her an in otherwise.

Sorry, I don’t have any great suggestions. Networking and putting it out there to people is helpful- maybe someone will give her a break. An associate producer position at an agency is what to look for but it may not exist in smaller agencies.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?
