Devon DeLapp posted a while ago a technique he used to land a job on a TV Show even though he was a “complete stranger to the entertainment industry”.
Although certainly not a miracle solution, I’ve heard that it indeed worked for some people. So even though it takes a lot of patience and mindless typing to get through it, if it works…
He’s also posted a nice tool to help you cope with the numbers and names you get during the process.
I bet it can also be used for other stuff!
Anyway, there’s also a key thing to keep in mind when applying for a PA job Devon says:
Appear willing to do anything.
He also says that a reasonable ratio before being offered a position is 4 to 8 interviews. So if you don’t get offered one after that, revise yourself!
Good luck in your hunt.
