This coaching session should be extremely valuable to anyone who is applying for an editing job or any other job in the film industry. In this Bootcamp , I give aspiring editors feedback on their job application strategies. For context: Students in the Go-To Editor course have the chance to apply for a real job with a director who has an edit-ready film. Round 1 consists of an application that includes a top sheet (two questions they need to answer about why they want this job and what they’ve learned that might be helpful for the job), showing two scenes they cut in the course, and additional outside work/reel/resume. Most people never see or get feedback on their applications, so they don’t know what actually stopped them from taking the next step in the interview process (e.g., getting a meeting).
