Once you hit “See My Matches”, this panel will show:
  • 3–6 entry-level roles that may fit your interests and skills
  • Match scores based on your profile
  • Pathways from those entry roles into more senior film, TV, and A/V positions
You can also switch to “All roles” to see how every role compares.
Note: Job titles vary by region and company. A “Production Assistant” in a studio, a live event venue, and a corporate marketing department may look very different—this tool gives you a direction, not a rigid prescription.
