new career ???

[markrzs]

I'm starting to get really bored in the job i'm doing at the moment :( which is working for my local Police force as support staff.

I would love to get into television/film work :d does anybody on here involved in this kind of work ? prefrebly behind the scenes.
Or perhaps anyone knows good websites that would point me in the right direction ? College courses etc etc

Any help much appreciated !

We run a course where I work (University Centre Hastings, unsuprisingly in Hastings) called Broadcast Media that started this year. They're recruiting for next year at the moment and it's working towards a Foundation Degree with the option of a top-up and coming out with a full degree. We have all the latest HD widescreen DV cameras and other such stuff that goes right over my head, and the students get involved with all kinds of things making films and radio documentaries, directing, editing etc.

Have a look here for more info - http://www.uch.ac.uk/courses_details.html#fdabroadcastmedia

Hope that helps :)

Media and television is a massive industry. And your gonna probably have to work your way up. Also the majority of the jobs are based in London.
The place i look for new jobs is http://www.grapevinejobs.com/home/home.asp I actually applied for 2 last week and will send my CV in half hour for another :D

Kookookachu's thread that was the same as this had about 50 replies at this point with advice.

Mark,

What about the Police as a career if you're sick of being the support element?
