I am often contacted by students for work experience. so I have put together some helpful tips on gaining work experience.

1 Look for local production companies before jumping a plane to Hollywood. Production opportunities exist in every city.

2 Search the web with keywords “(your location), film/video production.”

3 Learn about the production companies, their projects, and current employees.

4 Figure out which department interests you most, i.e. editing, writing, cinematography, or producing.

5 Find a specific person in the department you seek.

6 Call or e-mail about an internship. Express your interests and offer your skills, such as organisation, flexible, etc.

Why not have a look at the following sites.

IFTN – The Irish Film and Television Network – http://www.iftn.ie/ – This will give you contact details for Film and TV companies in Ireland. It will also give you industry insights, news and who’s who in the industry.

Creative Careershttp://www.creativecareers.ie/intern_volunteer/ – As well as having industry jobs it also has an Intern / Volunteer section on its site.

Screen West facilitates filmmaking in the West of Ireland. A one-stop resource for all Film / TV information – http://www.screenwest.ie/
