Reginald Said:

Where can I get work experience in the Television Industry?

We Answered:

Not sure about your location, I work at a TV station in the midwest. Your school should be able to help you find places to get an internship, which is, most likely the only thing you'll find with only one year down in school. And a lot of them will be unpaid.

But at the station where I work, we often hire the standout summer interns for further work, like weekends or holidays when you are not in school. Regardless, it's a good networking experience. Make sure you have a great attitude and are motivated without complaints. Seriously, some of the interns we remember the most, were the worst to work with. Don't be that person. And be nice to everybody, you never know who someone is or if you might end up working with them someday.

Check out your local chapter of International Television Association ( itva.org ) and get a listing of all production houses and distributing companies in your area. Then start sending resumes.

Tip: Keep in mind ratings periods--Feb, May, July, Nov--these are very busy times for TV stations, they won't be able to get back to you right away, and they probably aren't focusing on finding a summer intern for a few months. For example, there's a guy calling several times a week right now for summer intern. Bad timing during February book, and even more so that he won't stop calling. All this does is make him memorable in a bad way.

Good luck!
