The Job: Assistant Productions with a large amount of minor tasks. The job itself is includes everything from picking up food orders to helping with the set up of the production itself. A high school diploma, drivers license, and car is mandatory.
How to Get the Job: There are a few job sites and lists that can get you closer to a Production Assistant job. Jobs are listed on the Hollylist, Company websites, and Indeed. Most opportunities are granted through years of letter writing or referrals. Do a really good job on the first job you have and you’ve got referrals coming for more jobs from that network.
Promotions?: The next promotional step is Coordinator. If you make it from Production Assistant to Coordinator within 2 years, you’re doing really well.
