How did folks find opportunities at boutique entertainment firms? Are there niche recruiters in the LA area/did you stumble across job postings? I have been on the lookout via LinkedIn for the last year and have maybe seen one posting—am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any insights!!

Agree. If you went to Southwestern, Loyola, USC or UCLA, you'll have more opportunities than if you didn't.

Networking is key. And persistence.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
