Any advice for landing an assistant/associate editor role? Anyone know of shops looking to hire full time?

Google post houses in your city. Email the EPs. State in your email even if they aren’t hiring you’d love to take 10 minutes of their time to meet them/see their shop. Be nice. Be hungry.

Even if you don’t land a job right away, smart EPs will hit you up down the road when they need someone.

Where are you located? Are you experienced? Assistant is not an introductory role in major markets

A lot of top post houses are moving to premiere, so good to know both

I’d find editorial houses in your area and email the EP cold. I’d quickly sum up your background and your specific interest in their company. Know Avid and Premiere. Speak passionately about the craft and supporting editors in your meeting. Get on radars for future freelance work. And if you want to be an editor, I find it’s helpful to express that interest in the interview or early on. Although freelance AE’s can def pull in more $, I’ve heard multiple editors and producers say they invest most and give the most opportunities to staff AE’s.

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

Pitch videos. It has now become standard to be handed a vo script with no thought as to what’s on screen. When did the editor's job become thinking up the images as well?
