I've been working in-house for a couple of years now and have a few small junior producer credits. I really want to make the jump to bigger sets, but with zero HETV, I don’t know how to bridge that gap. Should I be looking for trainee roles, or is there a better way to get in? I'd hope that having some experience would mean not having to start at the bottom.

Is your in-house agency doing larger TV productions? If not, then definitely look to move somewhere that does.

If they are doing projects of scale, try to own pieces of it (bid specs, casting/talent contracts, post/delivery etc). Then even if you still have a jr producer credit, you can sell yourself has someone who managed and not someone who assisted.
