Week 3 - Applying for work

This week, I had applied for work at 2 of the companies that are listed in employer research page. The two employers are:

For Planes TV, I have applied for the position of editor at the company. And for Estuary TV, I have applied for the position of Crew member on the current affairs show, 'Hot Topic'.

Since they both fit my needs for the work I wish to follow in. With Planes TV, it works in multiple ways: Firstly, it allows me to work under strict deadlines with professional editing software; work in a professional environment, away from the university campus; and to be able to learn more about editing for a professional company, and to widen my horizons with such a niche market; and most importantly be able to hone the skills of editing, since that is the specialism I wish to follow in the TV industry.

On the other hand with Estuary TV, they work in a different way by: being funded and ran by the Grimsby Institute Corporation; function along side a learning environment; full of familiar faces since I have worked with Estuary as of previous with shows such as On the Bench and That Friday show; allow me to work in a team since I will be a crew member; present the opportunity to work in many positions in the TV industry, so I can truly find my place despite being set on being an editor.

As a nice finish to a post, today (1/10/2014) Adrian Campbell of Planes TV had made contact with me to ask me for an interview next Tuesday (7/10/2014) and hope to gain the position of editor at Planes TV for the duration of this module, and hopefully after the module has finished with the position of editor.


Until next week,
