Continued Job Search

There is a variety of technology, hardware, and software I will be using in my intended field. I think regardless of which media you choose, to remain employable you have to be versed in internet technology knowledge. Also, in my profession of video production, HD is a major factor. The hardware I would be using is HD cameras and computers. And, the software would would range from graphics focused programs such as After Effects to editing software such as Premiere or Final Cut.

Additional job sites I found are the history channel, MTV, and E!.

I think what I am learning is that there aren't very many players in the television media. As I thought of shows that were relevant to my career goals and whose content I enjoyed, I found that many of them were blanketed under the same corporate owner. I'm still enjoying this search though. I never thought that so many large shows would give you access to their employment opportunities.

Initially I looked on Mandy.com and idealist.org for news producer positions with no success. However, when I searched on careerbuilder.com, I found the website easy to navigate with a few listings related to my search. I found a news editor , line producer , sports anchor,
web designer, and news reporter opening on this site. Although I did not specifically find a news producer position, I believe I did find jobs which would provide the necessary experience needed to attain a position of that caliber.

What I want to be when I grow up

After my experience at MCN Live here on campus, I have always aspired to be involved in the production of news. I think it's a very important form of television media, and I find the creative process fascinating. I understand that it will take many years of education and experience, but ideally, I would like to eventually become a television news producer. I think I would enjoy interacting with a staff of journalists to come up with story ideas and angles.
