DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT

Assignment 1 has TWO Components:

  1. Find a job post for an actual position working in TV that excites you, or something you’ve never heard of before. What does the job entail? What are the objectives and specifications of the position? Who is the job post for (what company?) Is it local, regional, national, or international? Is it production, creative, business, talent, or some other kind of TV related work? Write a 1-page description and provide a link or a copy of job post you’re investigating.

Write a 1-page description and provide a link to the TV job you can use your degree/skills/interests for!

A job example for Part 2 (based on my skills): https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/868100

Avoid social media corporations like Facebook, Twitter, or SnapChat for this project.
