At
the end of the day, there’ll be time for questions and advice,
especially on where to go from here. The
next stage - depending on your own specific motives for attending the
course - is to evaluate and take stock of your day with us. However,
even at the end of the day, you should have some initial thoughts on
whether you’d like to investigate or pursue further a professional
career - or semi-professional “sideline” - as a presenter.
So, as well as a thorough group question
and answer session, you’ll also - if you wish - have the opportunity
for an individual one-on-one chat with Glenn, who’ll endeavour
to give honest, straightforward feedback and answers to your questions.
And, to back all this up, you’ll receive some detailed and comprehensive
written information we’ve compiled on how to find work as a presenter
and the opportunities open to you. Just some of the things you’ll
learn - from both the Q&A and the written information - include:
The vast majority
of presenting jobs are filled without an advert ever appearing - we’ll
tell you where to look and who to approach.
How to shorten
or add to your new showreel - and the exact length and format we’ve
found increases your chances of a positive response ten-fold.
Getting more on-camera
experience - without having to pay for it.
The few “magic”
words - said over the telephone - that we’ve discovered consistently
results in a face-to-face interview with a producer... and there’s
no “hard-sell” involved...
Why it’s a
common misconception that you need an agent - and how to get your
first job without one.
Why we’ve
found that sending out bulk promotional “mailshots” is a
waste of time and money - compared to this quicker, cheaper and more
effective way to land auditions...
How to use your
present job as a springboard into presenting - and the answer’s
probably never even crossed your mind.
The areas where,
collectively, “presenters” are turning over the largest
amount of money - and you’ll never see them on television.
How to use your
creativity as the key to meeting the decision-makers.
How the broadcasting
trade press is a hotbed of upcoming job tip-offs - and how to interpret
this information to your advantage...
How landing a job
is all down to “timing” - and how to get your’s right...
Past participants
who landed their first job within 30 days of doing the course - and
how they did it
And, most importantly, you’ll
take away both a 20-minute-plus DVD and a boxed, VHS video-tape showreel with all your
recordings on it. Ready, if you wish, to edit and use in your search for
employment, or merely as a memento of the day.
