QUESTION: hello

I m asking you about starting career on entertainment industry , I had really searched the internet for jobs requirements , I had lost , it is a huge career

I didn't want to be graphic designer or web designer  or post production  

I have voice over talent , creative writer , had other talents like playing music , photographing

I want to use the above talents or skills to enter entertainment career

what do you advise me ?

I want jobs like entertainment programs steward or coordinator , or something like people who wearing mickey mouse cloths dance or play with children (I didn't know this job description)

I didn't know where can I start my research ? what qualifications I need to qualify ?

secondly ;

do you know any kind of competition made for screenwriting talent collection  where produce movie based on their work after workshop completion ?

wish to hear from you soon
thanks



ANSWER: Ahmed...Thanks for writing.

Since you live in Egypt, I am not totally sure of the way to go about it there.  But I would imagine that you could apply for cruise ship jobs, for media jobs looking for voice over work (find them online)...You just have to look online and in the cities nearby.

Does that help?

Answer
Hey Ahmed...thanks for writing back.

I'm glad I was able to help.  

Regarding finding a job, look at what it is you want to do and ask yourself whether or not the job you are looking at does those things.

You said that you wanted to use your voice over talent , be a creative writer ,  play music , or do photography.  Why not search based on those ideas?  

Does that help?
