Its All About the Work…

Sooner or later everyone wants thinks about jumping ship and relocating to a new company. This week we speak to Teresa Hall, a top talent agent who places people at companies like MPC, Framestore, Pandemic Studios, and Digital Domain. We discuss how to prepare your reel, what to expect, and how companies select staff – especially staff from overseas.

We recently read a comment from a podcast listener “fxguide I like, but some of the episodes go way over my head touch the sun and then skip over to the moon.” So this week instead of some hard core geeky VFX discussions, we decided to come back to earth and discuss getting a job. If you want a great job there is no better person to talk to Teresa Hall.

Hall currently runs Muse recruitment but will soon be opening a new enterprise and online web job placement service, Creative Jobs Network. This new is an interactive portal will showcase artists reels and portfolios. It enables you to seek talent and view reels in real-time via keyword search. For companies, this serves the dual purpose of alleviating unnecessary physical storage issues and time consumption required by traditional showreel viewing.

For artists it is a chance to have your talents seen online with the potential to access the global industry, – in an instant.

When Creative Jobs Network is fully online in about a month, it will work closely with fxguide.com to help facility key creatives and new talent working on the best projects in both the VFX and gaming industry worldwide.

In the fxguide tips section we have a series of articles on selecting a job, making a show reel and even determining your freelance rate.

For the next month – until Creative Jobs Network is fully up, Hall can be contacted via Muse Careers.
