Summary: Mix butter with 20 grams of fine desiccated coconut that has been toasted, 1.5 tablespoon of honey or icing sugar and a few drops of coconut essence (to taste).

Do a little research on the organization's website before you write your individualized letter. See if you can find their goals or mission statement. Often, these will influence their decisions when awarding scholarship money. Keep your audience in mind as you develop the letter. If you are creating a letter to the National Engineer's Association, for example, what you highlight will be different than your letter to the NAACP. You have all the information you need already organized and ready to go. Create strong, dynamic and clear sentences that capture the essence of each paragraph concisely. Use active voice. Passive voice puts you, the "do"er, last: "Being elected as class president was a highlight of my high school career." Instead, phrase this actively, focusing on what you accomplished: "As class president, I focused on developing a peer anti-bullying group." Use expressive action verbs. Instead of saying "I volunteered at Habitat for Humanity," use action verbs that say exactly what you did: "I coordinated volunteers from my high school and helped construct houses for Habitat for Humanity." Your first paragraph is not a summary. You want to grab their attention from the get-go with your introduction and a summary won't get the job done. Approach it like you're telling the beginning of a story to your friends so they'll "need" to know what happens next. Remember the art of the Hollywood thriller: what comes next? If you telegraph where your introduction is going (e.g., by summarizing what follows) you will capture their interest and make them want to read to find out "what happens next." A descriptive short anecdote is often very effective. For example, you could start off telling about the time you held your mom's hand as she screamed in the hospital room. You could describe how you felt as your baby sibling came into the world. Then follow it up with your goal statement: "This experience made me realize that I am called to serve rural communities as an OB/GYN." Make sure your second paragraph keeps the mystery and suspense going. Who are you? Where have you been? What have you done? What sets you apart? What is so unique about your story? At the risk of answering a rhetorical question, "you" are what makes your story unique. Remember, you intrigued them with the introduction so don't fall into the "summarize my strengths and leadership skills" trap in paragraph 2. You may choose one, two, or at most three to highlight, "'choosing those that directly reflect the scholarship's purpose"'. Think of your overall strengths/leadership skills as a theme that infuses your second paragraph. It's not about making a list, it's about painting a picture. Show them "who you are" (create a narrative paragraph), don't "tell them" who you are (make a list). Be specific! Don't say "I'm a people person." Say "In my job at the grocery store, I have never met a stranger. I strike up chats with each customer and have often been commended for my friendliness." First show them what you would do with their scholarship now (degree, course load, tuition, room & board, etc.) and then show them how it would benefit everyone in the future. Imagine you're the underdog in a sports movie. You're Rocky Balboa. You're Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger. You have it all everything except that one big break. You're ready to grab that break and become a champion. Are they ready to give it to you? If so, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS! Avoid dry, momentum-killing transitions like, "First," "Second," "In addition," "In conclusion," etc. Make each paragraph flow naturally into the next like it would in a conversation. The most compelling writing is the writing that makes the reader want to read the next line rather than reading a by-wrote list of why they should be reading. A natural flow in a story never uses these types of clunky transitions and your letter is a story. Look at it that way and transitions become much easier. Remember, you only have two pages maximum. That means each paragraph can't be much more than one-third of a page. Be pointed, be brief, and be strong. Use a 12-point font type, double-spaced so that it is easy to read. Use professional quality stationery paper if you plan on mailing the letter using the postal service. If the organization has given you specific requirements for the letter. follow them precisely. It would be a shame if your essay is DQ'ed straight out of the gate for being too long or in the wrong font. This should be done numerous times to check for grammar, typos, layout, organization, and clarity. If you can say something in 12 words instead of 20 then do so. Add or delete content and check for proper punctuation each and every time you read it. Make any needed corrections and edit where necessary.

Summary: Determine your audience. Flesh out each paragraph. Avoid the "introduction is a summary" pitfall. Build on your introduction's mystery. Structure paragraphs 3 and 4 like a symphony's crescendo. Use strong transitions between paragraphs. Keep each paragraph short and to the point. Format your letter. Read and review your letter.

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.
