I am going to start adding some good job resources for the TV industry in the coming weeks and since I know Canada best, that is where I am going to start. So here are so very good links to check out if you are seeking employment in television in Canada. All these links will eventually be posted on the side of this blog. If I do not get to the country of your choice please write to me and I will post it as soon as I can.

Bell Globemedia- This is a huge corporation with many television stations to work for.

Playback Magazine- The Canadian Industry newspaper. Contains production guides as well as a great job posting section. 

Media Job Search Canada- A great site not only for television jobs but for all media. 

CBC Radio Canada- Canada’s Public broadcastor’s job posting site. 

Jeff Gaulin’s Job Board- Great site with lots of postings and tips for all media. You can also register and advertise yourself. 

 If you have any national sites that I have not mentioned please send them too me and I will add them to the list.

Volunteer or not to volunteer? That is the question.

The answer? For most people, completing post secondary education in Television or Film is the time when you think you are ready to produce the next great tv show or movie. For some of us a great job is found right away but for most of us this is just the start to a lot of free work before you get the job you want.
