The Full Rundown
You need a team to pull off a newscast - so we’ve put together a team to help you pull off a major career pivot.
Let’s be clear - this isn’t a career change.
When you leave news it’s a full-on PIVOT.
You need THE Full Rundown.
Do you know what your passions and talents are outside of TV news, and how you can find a career that is in alignment with who you are? Pssst- if your identity is tied up in TV, you will want to work on this step first :)
Do you know what career would light you up on a Monday morning? A new career that will get you bounding out of bed each day? The biggest mistake TV newsies make is jumping into a new job just to take ANY old job….and then they find out they don’t love it, and end up missing the newsroom.
Do you know how to write a resume without the words like “produce” or “live shot” or “package” in it? Do you know how to get your resume past the ATS system and into the hands of a human? Do you know how to quantify what you’ve accomplished and share metrics on your resume? (I’m not taking ratings, either). Or is your resume packed with duties or is it a full story of your career?
Do you truly understand the importance of LinkedIn for your career search? Not just for searching for a job - but to stand out as a thought leader in a new industry? Do you know how to connect and build your network with non-newsies? Do you know how to build out a LinkedIn profile that’s more like a landing page and less like a thrown-together afterthought?
Do you know how to nail an interview? It’s not about sharing your TV accomplishments, but it IS about knowing how to answer questions “trip wire” questions that hiring managers often ask. (And surely you aren’t planning to say “I’ve never done before that but I’m a really fast learner!”)
Do you need a community that can lift you up during this career pivot - one where people actually GET what you do and UNDERSTAND what you are going through?? Someplace where your questions are answered and jobs are posted? Do you need a community to support you?
It can be overwhelming.
And I get it - that’s why you’ll want to take a peek at
