Heyy everyone, This question might seem dumb for most but as a 19yr guy , still don’t know what to do. I wanted to know if there is anyway to find a companies to work with as an « alternant » in visual and audio specialisation ( french term for someone partially working some days in the week while also going to school ). As matter of fact I’ve tried to look for thing like that but don’t know how to contact them or anyway, Does anyone has some tips to give me, would be much appreciated ! And also if there is any alternative to LinkedIn because I’m getting sick of the people on this app being 50yr racist and self centered manager/ceo… that I have to contact :) Much love to everyone thanks for reading this !
Are you open to moving?
My niece jumped on a video program in high school and is going to college for film. In both cases, industry connections were a huge part of the program, and she has been able to find a good amount of part time work to help offset the costs of college. She even has IMDb.com profile and credits.
From what little I know about the industry, this seems like one of those careers where connections are critical. Of course the problem is you’ll find only a small number of schools and locations with those connections.
I know moving is not realistic for most people so I’ll second the other recommendations about seeing what your school can do for you.
