Problem: Article: Apply for jobs in production online using sites like Craigslist, Indeed and Monster. Craigslist may be the best bet for finding small projects in your area that need short-term help. Job sites like Indeed and Monster usually post long-term jobs, which are harder to get but are more permanent. Don't send the same general resume and cover letter on all your applications. You want to make sure that you express why you as a candidate admire that studio or company and how you would fit into the environment there. For example, you could include a sentence in your cover letter that says, "I am particularly excited to have the opportunity to apply to Red Crown Productions because I admire the work they have done to bring national attention to smaller, independent filmmakers." Don't apply for an Executive Director position if you have no experience in the industry. Look for Production Assistant, also known as PA, roles. These are the entry-level positions in film and video production, and are where many start off when getting into production. Unfortunately, this is an almost inevitable part of starting out in film or video production. Almost everyone in the industry has to pay their dues and do unpaid work as assistants or runners. If a studio or company is interesting, fetching coffee may be worth it for the connections that you can make. You have already researched studios and companies in your area. Make a list of the ones that most interest you and call their production office . You will likely reach the Production Assistant on the phone. Ask them if there are any openings and if you can send a resume. Just because a studio doesn't list jobs, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Many studios hire through word of mouth or through references, which is why pursuing them is a good tactic. Create a LinkedIn profile and post your resume. Get in touch with any recruiters that you can find that are in the industry. LinkedIn is fast becoming one of the most vital ways to find jobs in the digital age. If you get an interview with a studio or company, do thorough research. Make sure you know things like their size, where they usually work and what projects they have been doing. Their website is always a great place to start. You can also find information on them by doing a Google search. If you get an interview, do your best to communicate your own skills and assets. Bring each question back to your strengths and the ways that you can contribute effectively to the company or project. Stay positive and down to earth. The last thing any film crew needs is someone who will bring drama to the table. Present yourself as someone who is grounded and is willing to follow directions. After the interview, send an email thanking the interviewer for their time. It is a polite gesture that is almost standard interviewing procedure now. It will also make sure that the employer will keep you in mind as he or she is interviewing other candidates.
Summary: Apply to jobs positions online. Customize your resume and cover letter for each job that you apply to. Apply to jobs you're qualified for. Don't be above internships or unpaid positions. Contact studios or companies that interest you. Use LinkedIn to apply for jobs. Research the company or studio before the interview. Show yourself in the best light during the interview. Always follow up on an interview.

Problem: Article: Shy guys aren't just extroverted people waiting to be asked questions. While some shy guys may be perfectly happy to discuss their opinions and attitudes with you, it's more likely that they'll do so if they don't feel like you're wrestling it from them. Get to know him by talking about other things. Let personal things happen on their own time. Wait until he gets comfortable to ask more personal questions. When he starts feeling comfortable, start asking more personal questions as you're following up. "How was the rest of your weekend?" Just because a guy may be shy doesn't mean he's a fragile shell of a person, and it would be condescending to change your opinions or hold things back just because a guy may be on the quiet side. Speak your mind and share your opinions in a friendly way, to treat your new friend with respect and kindness. You can have disagreements but still be friendly by couching things in softer language. Instead of saying something like, "That's stupid," if a guy says Jeter's the best shortstop of all time, say something like, "I can see that. I just can't stand his personality." Many people assume that all quiet people are automatically shy, which isn't necessarily the case. Likewise, shy people aren't either conceited or introverted or anything in particular. If you want to know something about a guy, ask. Don't assume you know. First off, there's no answer to this question. Often, people will ask this question to fill an awkward silence, but it doesn't help and it doesn't give you anything to talk about. Saying something like, "You're so shy!" to a guy who is feeling uncomfortable will only make his discomfort and his silence more strong. Talk about something else. Shyness isn't ever a sign of anything other than shyness. If a guy feels awkward around you, it might be for a variety of reasons, and you shouldn't assume interest either way.
Summary: Don't make him talk about himself. Don't be afraid to disagree. Don't assume things about him. Don't ask him why he's shy. Don't assume he likes you, or doesn't like you.

Problem: Article: Bond agents typically have offices near local jails or criminal courts, and they often have a lot of information about people who've been arrested or charges that have been filed. Much of a bond agent's business comes from being easily accessible and easy to find, so it should be easy to locate a number of bond agents nearby. Bond agent offices frequently are open late hours and weekends, so it may be easier to track down a bond agent than it is to call the jail. Particularly if the person has already been booked, a bond agent with an office near the jail may have information on whether the person has been arrested or is being held at the local jail. Even if you end up not using the bond agent to bail the person out, they typically are willing to provide you any information they may have. A bond agent also may be able to help you if you aren't sure about the person's legal name. If they were present when the person was booked, they may be able to recognize the person from a physical description. How much information a bond agent will have often depends on how busy the jail was on that particular night. If the bond agent is located in a small town or relatively rural area, you probably can get more information than if you live in a densely populated urban area. If the person has been arrested and booked in the local jail, and you want to help get them out, the bond agent can help you find out whether the person's bond has been set and what you can do to pay it. You also may be able to find this information by calling the jail. If the person hasn't been booked yet, the jail will let you know when that person's bail hearing will be held. Typically, the booking and bail hearing will be held within 24 to 48 hours of the time the person is arrested. If the person has special medical or other needs, talk to someone at the jail and find out what you can do to help or get needed medications to them.
Summary:
Search for nearby bond agents. Ask the bond agent for information. Find out how to purchase a bail bond.
