I think I want to work in telly…

…but I don’t know where to start.

Worry not, Jude Winstanley of The Unit List has compiled the definitive set of resources to answer exactly that question. Good for anyone seeking to enter the industry, teachers, lecturers, career advisors and helicopter parents.

This page at BAFTA is a good (and fun) place to start: a series of questions which produces a suggested role and further reading.

Screenskills has career maps which will give you a bit of a peek into jobs and depts.  

And here are job roles in more detail

Don’t miss this either, a Trainee Finder programme which is both incredibly successful and very inclusive.

And for general rabbit-hole resources Jude made this with a few friends (a padlet with over 300 useful links to scripted and unscripted production).

Feel free to share these links with anyone who might find these resources useful. And good luck!
