It seems quite a few of us have been laid off and are dealing with the stressful job search when unemployed. If interested, we can form a support group, get together to support each other, help with mock interviews or just support and maybe make introductions. Thoughts? DM if interested.

Does anyone have any advise on how to become a staff video editor at a creative production company? They usually don't have any "job openings" listed on their site.

I have 5+ years of experience working at a creative ad agency, but much of the work was pitch/sizzle videos (yuck).

I'm freelancing now which has been a great step in the right direction but I'd eventually love to be on staff at a post house like The Den, Cut+Run, Company 3 etc. pumping out cool work. Just seems hard to break in.

There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?
