MY DREAM JOB
By: Kandace Holt
TITLE & QUALIFICATIONS
Job Title: Writer/Producer
Qualifications: Ideal candidate will have 3+ years experience and
an impressive reel demonstrating a range of creative executions.
Must be able to understand brand strategy and be able to implement
that strategy with innovative ideas. Strong hands-on experience in
writing and producing on-air promotion spots within a cable or
broadcast environment. Must be a strong writer and team player.
My dream job is to write television shows for network television.
Could you imagine meeting new people and being able to say, “Hi
my name is Kandace Holt and I am a writer for A&E, and I write
scripts and produce popular television shows.” It would absolutely
be amazing to be able to achieve that in a lifetime.
I would not even mind relocating to The UK and work on the
writing team for Doctor Who. I would have to work my way up the
ladder but you have to do that in any job choice. I would love in
the next five years to land my dream job as a Television Writer. I
would start with an entry-level position as an Creative
Development Internship for Digital Media.
The primary job for a Development Intern is to write pitches,
treatments, and scripts for short-form digital programming in
support of the television programming for the company. I would
love to intern for Walt Disney Company or HBO studios writing
for them. I would have to start out with an internship and work my
way up to Television Writer/Producer.
I plan on throughout my college days to maintain a high enough
GPA to get an internship, and then I would just work my way up at
whichever company I am hired by.
I would make sure that my work was flawless, pristine, and just
fantastic in everything that I was working on. If they wanted me to
work all night well then I would be stocking up on caffeine and
make sure that I got done what they wanted done. If I were
pitching a new show then it would be the best pitch ever.
I am looking forward to my journey to achieve my goals of
becoming a Writer/Producer for popular television shows locally or
even internationally. It’s going to be hard work but it will be worth
it in the long haul.
