Finding an entertainment Job in Hollywood

By Philip David


In Hollywood and looking for an entertainment job? As a person that has worked in the TV Network and Music Industry for over 20 years, let me give you the breakdown.

From companies like Universal, MGM, Sony Music, Disney, ABC, Interscope Records, Warner Bros, Paramount, E! Entertainment, MTV, Geffen Records, Cartoon Network and CBS, the opportunities are endless.

50,000 people move to Los Angeles every single month trying to make it in the entertainment industry. From actors to comics to musician and models, Hollywood is the mecca when trying to make it in the entertainment industry.

Relationships are essential in the entertainment industry. At the end of it, people work with: (1) who they trust. (2) who they know. (3) who they like.

The first move is to find a job listing.

Entertainment job websites: Listed below are our top 4 picks for finding entertainment jobs.

1) hollywoodentourage.com: HollywoodEntourage.com is the top pick. The site is FREE. A great website for casting, entertainment jobs, musician/bands, comic/comedians gigs, rooms for rent and modeling gigs. I love this website: It has everything from make-up artists to head-shots.

2. Craigslist.org: Craigslist has been the longest running track record. Great place to find entertainment jobs, however you have to sort through non-entertainment companies and adult oriented spammers.

3. hollywoodentertainmentjobs.com: Hollywoodentertianmentjobs.com has been running for years posting entertainment jobs on a daily basis. They have a large selection of entertainment jobs primarily for Los Angeles and New York. This is a subscription-based service but is one of the longest focusing on entertainment jobs alone.

4: Backpage.com: Backpage and craigslist are similiar but has less traffic. It's a decent site, however non-entertainment jobs will have to be weeded out.

The second move is to Network.

Networking is an important element to building relationships in the entertainment market. Hollywood is a social landscape and has endless ways to network. From clubs, to friendships, facebook, twitter, coffeeshops, open mics, etc. You have to stay on your A-Game since you never know where the next opportunity might come from.

The third move is to get in the door.

Getting in the door working for an entertainment company whether it is an internship or an assistance job. Either way, this will be your crucial opportunity to build your network. If you excel as an assistant, you'll find new offers for bigger opportunities.
