Mentoring Highlights - Let's Celebrate!

I wanted to take a moment to celebrate some of your recent mentoring highlights, as you have been working hard on putting what you have learned into practice, and it's been great to watch you succeed!



Some popular topics recently...


  • Adapting and tailoring CVs

  • Interview techniques

  • Post production paperwork

  • Moving from being an Edit Assistant in factual to scripted

  • Effective cold emails and finding people's contact details

  • and how to choose the right career pathway for you



Some of my favourite highlights recently...


An aspiring Edit Trainee was selected for Screen Skills Trainee Finder, after we tailored their application and practised mock interviews


An Edit Assistant learnt and became more confident in the assistant editing workflow and realised they had a lot more transferrable skills than they had thought!


An aspiring Sound Assistant expanded their contact base, after I reached out to some of my network


An Edit Trainee impressed their new team with their knowledge of dailies paperwork, after we went through it before their first day


An Assistant Editor walked away from our Networking Class with a renewed sense of direction and clear next steps to follow


And a graduate landed a job on Strictly Come Dancing, after we worked on renewing and adapting their CV




I have loved supporting your journeys into the industry and look forward to all the success that is yet to come! If there is something you would like help with - whether it's a goal, a challenge or just something you are thinking about - don't hesitate to reach out!


Featured today is Yasser El Ansari, a Post Production Assistant and aspiring Editorial Trainee with credits including The Day of the Jackal. He's recently enjoyed shadowing editorial teams on Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania and Luther. Find out more about Yasser here.



Best wishes,

Eleanor
