Any theater audtitions in Los Angeles?
Whatever you do, avoid: -Fight Club Theatre -Next Stage (Chris Berube) Here are THE ONLY LEGIT online sites that you can get work from. ALL SITES NOT LISTED ARE SCAMS!: In LA: -Actorsaccess.com -LACasting.com -NowCasting.com -Backstage.com (they have a weekly newspaper that you can get at stores that lists castings) Free but proceed with Caution: -ModelMayhem.com -Craigslist -Mandy.com -Castingcallsearch.com Know that you're ONLY going to see at most 30% of the work out there. ONLY agents have access to the serious jobs or the other 70%. To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won't see you unless you're SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading. You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways: -Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too. -Attend a showcase and impress them. -Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you're interested in DON'T -Email them unless they tell you to. IT'S UNPROFESSIONAL! -Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL! -Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE! -Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent's ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

How to find a welding job as a newbie?
I myself am a chemist but I got lucky and landed a job through my friend.... But I am asking bc my nephew just finished his Welding courses and was also given his Welding Certificate by the AWS..... Problem is he cannot find a entry level job anywhere, every shop and contractor that are hiring require 1-5 years experience... So how is he supposed to get experience if no one will give him a job to get experience? Btw he is also non union and 19 years old.....
What kinda of jobs hire people with no experience?
No, never lie on an application. The reason they haven't called you back is most likely because they don't need someone or someone else appears to be a better candidate than you. In the future after submitting an application, I would recommend calling as a follow up.
For midlife career change, I realized jobs I could've been good at (animator, filmmaker, human rights lawyer, and psychologist) need up to a decade of training. I don't care about the second best options. What should I do?
If you already have a bachelor's degree, law school is three years. But it isn't easy, and passing the bar exam isn't a walk in the park either. There are also a lot of lawyers out there, so being a successful (and well paid) lawyer isn't automatic.However to become a psychologist, you are right – it does take more than a decade to be one because you will need postgraduate training plus your state license. Psychologist Jobs, Employment in Los Angeles, CABeing a successful, or even a working filmmaker is tough. You need to go to a school that has a lot of connection – something like UCLA or USC. Private film schools in Los Angeles do have the types of equipment to teach you the skills you need but they don't have the connection to the big names, working and successful (and famous) filmmaker. No one gets to be a director of a multimillion-dollar project without an established resume. If you like sci-fi, look at YouTube channel called DUST. There are a lot of very good sci-fi shorts there – made by newbies and I find some of them amazingly good.Jobs for an animator. Animator Jobs, Employment in Los Angeles, CAI think as a graphic design major, you actually would do better but some people find it very boring to sit in front of a computer and design something for a client. It is always more fun to do something for yourself but once it becomes a paid job, the fun kind of goes away. Graphic Design Jobs, Employment in Los Angeles, CAYour new career choices are too diverse. I'm only pointing out the negative traits of each one that I am aware of because I know some friends who have been or are doing such job.What you actually see doing for the rest of your life?
