Cartoon Central

The saga of looking for a job at Cartoon Network.

Well, I’ve been looking for TV jobs at various stations and I’ve sent in some applications here and there, sent my resume hither and thither, and I’m definitely feeling frustrated with it. It’s one thing to not hear back from Cartoon Network (one of the places I applied to), but it’s another to actually have a contact giving you the inside scoop and still not seeming to get anywhere with it (which is also the case with another job prospect). I haven’t given up, I’m still looking into those avenues, I’m just not feeling particularly great about them now. It doesn’t help that I’ve been trying to piece together a demo reel from some saved school projects and so far I feel like a lot of the things I’ve done were fun while they were in school, but for the real world don’t look professional at all. Blah. I’m also having fun with the whole “experience catch-22″ situation wherein a lot of the jobs I’m interested in require experience, yet my lack of experience makes it harder for me to get jobs in the first place.
