Since NGOs specialize in activism and aid, charity work is extremely important. Take time to volunteer at your local food bank, homeless shelter, and similar organizations, taking on leadership roles if at all possible. If given the choice, NGOs will hire those with significant volunteer experience over those with little or none. Groups like VolunteerMatch can help you find local charities and non-profit organizations looking for volunteers. Though not essential for all NGOs, learning a second language will be a great asset for groups specializing in international travel and aid. Popular languages like Spanish, French, and Chinese, are always good, though you may get further with small languages isolated to specific areas of interest, such as: Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, or Marathi for India. Persian, Farsi, Arabic, or Kurdish for the Middle East. Tagalog or Cebuano for the Philippines. If possible, take a local job or internship related to the NGO you hope to work for. This could be as simple as working at an animal shelter if you hope to go into animal rights, or serving as a tutor if you hope to do education work overseas. For smaller cities and towns, internships are often available through government boards and services. If you're in school, look for internship opportunities through your degree program. Though some NGOs recruit high school graduates, most organizations give precedence to those with a bachelor's degree or higher, with some even requiring graduate-level studies. If possible, work toward a degree in a field related to your organization, such as medicine or cultural studies, or something that can translate to many different NGOS, such as accounting, marketing, or computer science. Entry-level NGO jobs will often require a bachelor's degree, though the specific major usually doesn't matter. Upper-level and specialized NGO jobs will often require a particular bachelor or master's degree, such as in education, public health, business management, or urban planning. If you don't have a degree, still apply! In some cases, organizations will wave education requirements if you have significant work or volunteer experience.

summary: Volunteer at local charities. Learn a second language. Get real-world experience through local jobs and internships. Get a college degree.

It should take you at least 20 minutes to complete your meal. It takes this amount of time for your brain to signal satisfaction and fullness. If you eat faster than this, you may end up consuming a lot more food than necessary to make you feel satisfied. Set a stop watch or timer for 20 minutes so you can clock yourself throughout your meal. Practice putting your fork down between bites, taking a sip of water or talking to friends/family while you eat. Take a deep breath and try to mentally center yourself before you eat. Stress and busy schedules can rush you through meals. Take time to really enjoy your meal time. Understanding the difference between satisfied, full and stuffed is important. An appropriate, small portion size should leave you feeling just satisfied. Satisfaction typically means you're no longer hunger. You may also notice you lose interest in your meal or are just beginning to feel a very faint stretching sensation in your stomach. Another way to think of satisfied is to think of your stomach as a gas tank. Aim to "fill" your stomach about 70% of the way up with food - not 100%. Sometimes it can be hard to follow a smaller portion size. If you feel like you really need something else, eat more vegetables. They are low in calories and high in nutrients like fiber and vitamins. A few extra servings of veggies won't hurt. Try having a salad along with your meals. It's light, satisfying and can help make you feel a little more full if you need to. Double up on your veggie sides. Instead of having a starch (like rice or potatoes) and a vegetable, cook up two different types of veggies! Again, going back for seconds or doubling up on these low-calorie foods is OK. Pack more vegetables into your recipes. If you're making pasta or a stir fry, double the amount of vegetables the recipe calls for. It won't hurt to have a slightly bigger portion if most of your meal consists of vegetables.

summary: Time your meal. Stop eating when you're satisfied, not full. Eat more vegetables.

While a film school education can give you a knowledge base and technical foundation, it's essential to build concrete experience. The more tangible experience you have, the better your chances of getting your foot in the door in the world of film editing. Start out small by looking for smaller, local productions or by continuing to collaborate with peers you've met along the way. You can look online for local production job and gig listings Word of mouth is key for getting gigs, whether paid or unpaid, and at both amateur and professional levels. In addition to volunteering your time on local productions, you'll likely have to continue paying your dues and working for free for a considerable portion of your early career. Networking is key throughout the process, and you'll have to rely on your growing network to land an apprenticeship with a major production company. Even though it's free labor, apprenticing or interning will help you demonstrate that you possess actual skills and a solid work ethic. Consult your professors and try to access their networks while you're in school. This will help you to land good internships or apprenticeships, both while you're in college and when you're breaking into the field after graduating. You might have to take several apprentice jobs before you actually start to make a modest income. Treat every job as if you're getting a million-dollar income. Prove that you have a great work ethic and are a pleasure to work with. Those with whom you've apprenticed or interned will be essential for getting a paying job, whether they connect you with one or offer you a strong recommendation. You're unlikely to land a job in editing right away, even if you have strong apprentice gigs under your belt. Take any job that comes along, whether it's as a tour guide on a studio lot, a personal assistant to somebody on a film crew, a secretary at the office, or a runner for a production. Be polite to everybody you meet and promote yourself. Hand out business cards with links to your website and reel. Make it known that you're looking as a job as a film editor. Building your network of connections this way can lead to unexpected chances, like becoming a film editor on a short that later wins an award at a festival. If you meet people who work in the editing room, ask if you may occasionally join them to observe and learn. It might take up to ten years before you've built a robust enough network and record of on the job training to land a job with a reasonable income, so be persistent.
summary: Volunteer your services on student productions or local productions. Get an apprenticeship or internship. Land an entry level job in a film studio. Build a strong network.
