Just do it.

Today was a productive day, able to apply to 7 places and have a cover letter that was at once concise, attention grabbing, played to my strengths, and again concise.

So I'm doing this with all you guys, and we'll see if what I'm doing works out in the end. For the mean time to get started here are some of the websites I have found to be pretty darn helpful.

Monster.com
This is number 1 because its super easy to use. You can upload as many resume's and choose which one is suitable for the job. You may also choose to upload a generic cover letter that can be easily edited on the screen. As my dad said, "It's so easy you just apply, apply, apply..." Literally you just click apply. As an aspiring producer/writer it also gave me access to 4entertainmentjobs.com which has an uber list of everything entertainment. If you go through the site itself you have to pay a hefty fee, so uhh just use monster.

Idealist.com
I love this site because its all about people helping people, meaning many non-profit and government jobs, internships, or volunteer work. If you need work experience, and want to help out the community, this is ideal...(get it haha). Could use a broader filter platform to separate the non-paying and the paying jobs though. I even found a listing that offers free scuba diving for volunteering as an admin assistant. Awesome.

Jobcentral.com
This one place is actually four places in one. It searches through the listings of jobcentral, google, indeed.com, and simplyhired.com. Easy peasy, there filter options are one of the easiest things ever since you can find jobs for a specific location, company, by date, whether you want full time, part time, etc.

(For UCLA Alumns and Students) Bruinview
Ok so this is tricky but I believe it to be totally worth it (we'll see if I get a job out of it, but Jesus I believe..I hope), but in principle this database is intended for UCLA students and alumni and so if you happen to be in this category..they want you! Some problems though especially when you become alumni status.

The service actually cost $60. Remember this. When they sell you the GradPak, that's not paying for the service, getting the GradPak makes you only "eligible" to use it, but it does not activate anything. Hey at least you got a licence plate.

Also, it doesn't separate insternships from full time jobs. Sometimes "full-time" means full-time internships so if your not a student, out of luck dude, that Dreamworks, Disney, Warner Brothers, LA Times internships are only for students becuase ethically they need to pay you with some sort of "credit." Hey, you might have had a different experience but so far, this has been mine.

The easiest way to use Bruinview..On the homepage click "Jobs I qualify for."

Alright people, job whore it out.
