I'd really love to explore working in the USA, I work for the BBC in the UK at the moment and would just love to make the move. It's such a big leap though, and I have no family or friends over there - my partner is willing to move over with me if we can figure it out. Does anybody have any experience of getting a TV/film job across the water and can offer any tips?! I've been applying for jobs at US companies that have a UK/US base but no luck so far.

The BBC is pretty awesome.

It is - I do love it here! I just feel like TV is dwindling in the UK and I'd love to put my name on something bigger and spend a couple of years somewhere new.

You work at the BBC? That's so cool! How did you get the job and what's it like?

I lived in Canada for a while and have tried to get a job in the film industry over there, and even with relevant experience and a portfolio, it's really difficult to do. I think the UK is a lot better than America and Canada in hiring qualified people as opposed to people that others in the industry are mates with or happen to know. It's all about networking over there.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
