I’m working for a streaming TV show for a short period of time just to stay afloat, but I like making ads. Would this steer me away from ad jobs?

Nope. Do what you gotta do 👍

Where do you fall in the “making” of ads? Are you/were you an agency producer? Line producer? In any case, so long as you stay the course and continue “making” anything remotely applicable to the ad space you should still be able to make a case to an agency hiring manager 👌

It should honestly help. You’ve worked at agencies before and now you have a little experience that sets you apart from other producers vying for a role

The TV production world is a nightmare right now - big slowdown. Tons of shows on hold or getting cancelled and it looks like it's going to be that way for the foreseeable future. Believe it or not, ad work is way more steady.

I just want a steady job. So tired of freelancing and feeling unsure about my career. I feel like I’m jumping in and out of places all the time. I just want to stay at a company and feel secured.
