GEI is thrilled to host its first virtual office hours for our East Coast Participants. Industry professionals will work with GEI participants one-on-one to polish their job submission materials, such as cover letters and resumes, and provide interview pointers that are crucial to secure entertainment careers. Industry professionals can also share their journeys and offer career advice if time permits.
GEI’s inaugural Mid Level Bootcamp was a daylong event for GEI participants with at least 3-5 years of entertainment work experience who are moving up the career ladder to mid-level roles. Attendees learned about personal branding, competitive interview skills, applying employer feedback, and leadership etiquette to equip them for managerial and higher-level positions. The bootcamp also included a specialized software editing workshop and networking mixer with our industry partners!
Sony Pictures Television Nonfiction provided an overview of nonfiction development and introduced their development pods, which have developed iconic shows like 90 Day Fiancé, Love After Lockup, and American Idol. Afterwards, attendees sharpened their interview skills with a mock interview session!
