👻 It’s Spooky Season… But ‘Ghosting’ Isn’t Just for Halloween! 🎃 We’re all familiar with the ghouls of October, but what about the ghosts in our inbox? 👻 According to recent stats, candidates are ghosting employers now more than ever! And the reasons? Often a better offer came in or, just as common, they’re facing a lack of transparency during hiring. While it’s easy to blame the specters, this Halloween let’s remember: A well-lit path and clear communication can sometimes turn that ghost into a welcome new hire. So, here’s to making our hiring processes less haunted! 🍬 #HappyHalloween #JobMarket #Ghosting #Hiring

Hello everyone! This is the first time that I’ve ever posted in here so if I’m going about it wrong please forgive me. I’ve been working in the film industry on big Tv shows for the past 8-9 years in props/set decorations departments. As many of you know, those of us who have been in the industry went without work for almost a year because of the writers strike. I was lucky enough to get on a show this July that will go for about another month but many many other folks are still out of work due to changes in the industry and things just not starting up again. I recently read a facebook post from an incredibly talented first ad asking the public for help with getting employment. This was shocking to me. On a film set, the first ad is the most important and respected person on the set and he is being faced with a problem that we are all having: how do we take the skills from working in the film industry and translate it in a way that convinces someone in the real world to want to hire us? How do we get a real job when the whole point of our job is to be hidden so that the stars can shine bright and the story can ring true? Not many people understand the talent and work that goes into the making of a high budget movie or tv show. How do we prove our talent, dependably, consistency and ability to people hiring when they have no clue what we go through on film sets? Me and many others are ready to get out but we could use some advice. I promise, we will be extremely valuable to you we just don’t know how to communicate that in a resume or employment application. (Fyi, in the film industry you don’t apply or send a resume. A department head hears about you and you get a call from them) Thank you. 🙏

For the last two years, I’ve been living a double life. I’m a working artist and a working creative. And it’s awesome. Let me explain: For the artists who are worried that getting a job in another field means they’re selling out or giving up on their dream… Freelancing as an ACD and copywriter has made me a better actor. Point blank. Period. In fact, I’ve booked way more commercials in the two years since I started working in advertising than I have in the previous ten. And for those agencies that worry about hiring artists because they’re not committing 100% of their life to advertising… Being a working actor makes me a better creative, a better communicator, and a better collaborator. Working artists can be some of the most: - flexible (we’re used to juggling, sometimes literally) - organized (time management is my love language) - grateful (Money?? Snacks?? For me??) - creative (you say “out-of-the-box”, we say “What box?”) freelancers you’ll have. Actor Me challenges Creative Me to create fun, engaging copy that actors and VO artists will want to say. Plus, auditioning for commercials means I get to see a wide variety of work from other agencies. Having that exposure breaks me out of my agency bubble, inspires me, and pushes me in my own work. Creative Me knows how much time and thought has gone into every aspect of the ad we’re shooting, and helps Actor Me to be a patient, flexible and savvy collaborator on the day. Improvising on set is fun, but if it’s not in the client’s brand voice, it’s never making it to the final edit. Plus, making a living wage in a day job I like keeps me from getting resentful when an acting gig doesn’t pay a lot. It also takes the pressure off my auditions - when you don’t need to book to survive, it’s a lot more fun to audition. TLDR: I love this double life I lead. Everyone at SPACEJUNK is an absolute dream to work with, the client was so collaborative and fun, and I had such a great time shooting these ads with them.

Crafting a fun, lighthearted approach for a service that is traditionally represented seriously, or even a little confusion? Yea, we can do that. Enjoy this piece from our team for CoverMyMeds. And no, Georgie doesn't talk, but we could figure that out too if needed! #scriptwriting #productioncompany #direction #postproduction #preproduction #casting #production
