BUILDING A CAREER (PART 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
In class this past semester, I told my students that building a career was a marathon not a sprint.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re not going to walk right out of school and get your dream job.\u00a0 It takes time.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They nodded with understanding, embracing this challenge.\u00a0 Then, getting more specific, I said, \u201cIf your goal is to become a director, or producer, or the head writer of a TV series, or a senior studio or network executive, then it will take you at least fifteen years after graduation, maybe twenty, to reach your goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I thought they were going to beat me to a pulp with their iPhones.\u00a0 \u201cTwenty years?!\u00a0 No!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They weren\u2019t exactly telling me that I was wrong.\u00a0 They were just letting me know that fifteen to twenty years was an unreasonably long time as far as they were concerned.\u00a0 It was one of those professorial\/parenting moments where I completely understood how they felt, and just as completely felt I needed to enlighten them, give them a reasonable roadmap to success.\u00a0 Building a career is a step-by-step process, so here\u2019s Professor Brown\u2019s advice on how to get there, a little bit at a time:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step One \u2013 That All-Important First Job<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Students always ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s the best first job for me to get?\u201d\u00a0 I have a stock answer, no matter whether they want to write, direct, produce, edit, be a cinematographer, or whatever.\u00a0 \u201cThe best first job is the first one you\u2019re offered.\u201d\u00a0 There\u2019s a simple reason for this: getting your first job is ten times harder than getting your second job, because once you have a first job, you\u2019re on the inside.\u00a0 You have a track record, people in the business who can vouch for your talents.\u00a0 You also have a more detailed understanding of the business, a growing network of contacts, and a whole lot more insider info than you did when you were a complete newbie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So if your goal is to work on feature films, but the only gig you\u2019re offered after graduation is working on TV commercials, grab it.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard all the objections: But what if I get typecast as someone who does TV instead of features?<\/em>\u00a0 My usual answer is, \u201cWould you rather be typecast as someone who works at Starbucks or is chronically unemployed?\u201d\u00a0 Trust me \u2013 work and connections lead to other work and other connections.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Step Two \u2013 Work Your Tail Off and Do It With A Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Okay, you\u2019ve taken a job that\u2019s not exactly your dream job \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s far from it.\u00a0 You\u2019re getting coffee for people, running errands, doing all kinds of menial things.\u00a0 Hey, you\u2019re in show biz, baby!\u00a0 Enjoy it!\u00a0 Be the best coffee-getter in the world and do it with a smile, because the last thing in the world your boss needs is some young kid just out of college complaining about doing a job that thirty other people would kill for.\u00a0 Your boss knows you don\u2019t want to be a production assistant forever.\u00a0 Neither did she.\u00a0 But she also knows that she got promoted by being an outstanding, all-star, greatest in the world ever errand runner, not by being resentful and put upon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Same goes for your salary.\u00a0 You\u2019re only making $10 an hour?\u00a0 Wrong way to look at it.\u00a0 They\u2019re paying you<\/em> and giving you an opportunity<\/em> at the same time.\u00a0 Show them you appreciate that.\u00a0 Work as hard as if they were paying you $50 an hour\u2026which, by the way, is the fastest route to actually getting paid $50 an hour, by proving you\u2019re worth that much.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Okay, that\u2019s it for Part One.\u00a0 Stay tuned for Part Two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
