When it comes to working in the TV and video business, it can feel like one of the hardest to break into. There’s no doubt that the industry is exploding with opportunities but how do you take advantage of them? 

It goes without saying that you need to first learn the skills to shoot, to edit and to tell stories in video and that you need to practice those skills so what you produce is professional and something a client would be willing to pay for. 

Job hunting can be a real challenge. There are plenty of jobs out there but they tend to be spread around a lot of different websites and it can be hard to find the best ones. At TheVJ.com we understand that moving from learning to earning with video is essential and so every day, we’re handpicking the very best jobs in the video industry worldwide and listing them on the site. So whether you’re looking for a job as an editor in London or a video content creator for Netflix you’ll find them here.

Our co-founder, Michael Rosenblum, began making a living with his video camera back in the 1980s and he’s still doing it! No one knows better than him how to make money in this business.
