The Broadcast Mentee: How to Find, Work With and Get the Most From a Mentor in TV and Media Technology (Career Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The right mentor can change your career. Here is how to find one, and make it count.

Most people in broadcast and television can name someone who helped them get where they are: a senior engineer who explained how things really worked, a producer who said "you're ready", a manager who made the introduction that mattered. The Broadcast Mentee shows you how to find that person, ask without it feeling awkward, and drive the relationship so that six months of conversations actually change something.

It is written for anyone who wants to be mentored in broadcast, television or media technology: students and new entrants, engineers and producers eyeing their next step, freelancers, returners and people changing careers into the industry.

Inside you will find:

• A short self-audit that ends with your one-line ask, the sentence that makes busy people say yes


• How to win a place on an industry mentoring programme, with weaker and stronger application answers


• How to find a mentor informally using the ask ladder, without ever saying "will you be my mentor?"


• How to choose the right mentor, and the red flags to walk away from


• How to run the first meeting, own the relationship and get real value from every session


• A one-page development plan, and how to use your mentor's network and earn a sponsor


• How to rehearse interviews, promotion cases and pay conversations with your mentor


• Tailored advice for students, returners, freelancers, career changers and under-represented talent


• What to do when it isn't working, where mentoring ends, and how to stay safe


• Six mentee stories, ten ready-to-adapt message templates, a question bank and a Quick-Start Action Plan

Practical, honest and written for the reality of live deadlines, freelance careers and fast-changing technology.

Book Five in the Career Series from Workplace Insight Collective, and the companion to The Broadcast Mentor.
