Join WFTV for their second WFTV 2uesdays, an informa
l networking series that will take place every second Tuesday of the month.
These networking sessions are for ALL WFTV members, so go along and meet new people in a friendly and informal setting in the heart of Soho.
It will also be an opportunity to meet the WFTV Board of Directors, with 2 Board members attending each event. This week come along and meet vice-Chair Joyce Adeluwoye-Adams and Board member and Chair of the Finance Committee, Shefali Ghosh. They’ll be on hand to answer any questions you might have about WFTV and to listen to your feedback.
WFTV is back at their regular hangout , upstairs at Giraffe Soho (11-13 Frith Street, London). It’s a pay bar, but you’ll get your first drink half price between 6:30pm and 7:00pm and you will get some tasty nibbles.
This event is for WFTV members ONLY. If you are interested in joining WFTV and would like to attend, please e-mail Siobhan@wftv.org.uk stating your interest.
The BBC presenter and journalist Fiona Bruce admitted last week to hiding her grey hairs with dye, in The Telegraph. She went on to say, “there comes a point – especially if you’re a woman – when your career just falls off a cliff. I’m not being self-pitying. That’s just the way it is.”
In response, the new Director General of the BBC has made a pledge that age and gender will no longer be a career barrier. George Entwistle said he was “sorry that she feels that she has to say that”, but that he would make sure that all women would “get the right opportunities and are given the space they deserve”.
In the last few weeks Radio Four’s flagship morning news programme, Today, has come in for criticism over the dominance of male presenters and guests. The programme’s only regular female presenter is Sarah Montague. Entwhistle said that he wanted to see more women on air and a female presenter on the Today programme next time a vacancy came up.
He added that while he personally did not decide which guests appeared on air, or on screen, he believed he could change the culture of the organisation. “I’ll just make it clear to people that’s what I think.”
The redesigned profile photo upload page in the CV Centre
1st of October, 1st day of Autumn, and the launch of our brand new CV Centre. We couldn’t wait to get it to you, so check it out and get your CV polished and ready to be seen by 100s of producers.
There’s a redesigned profile picture upload section and easier to read layout. We will be adding more to the CV Centre over the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye out for the latest details.
Not only is this the place to get your CV seen by hundreds of producers, don’t forget to ask for a review from one of our top TV producers too! Of course you have to be a member to start organising your CV online and get one-to-one reviews and coaching. If you are not a member, well now is the time to consider it. Production companies are busy looking for talent during autumn for the casting and filming season, and you need to be ready.
Bronze membership starts at just £49 for one year, and only £25 if you are student.
Get ahead with StartinTV today.
We offer you the tools and the support to create a ‘TV CV’ that really stands out. The CV Centre is the hub of this activity. It is where you get your CV ready for producers and employers looking for talent, to find you.
In October, we hope to launch the re-vamped CV Centre. It will offer a redesigned and more pleasurable experience and I’ve included a sneak preview of what to expect below. Click on the image to see them more clearly in the gallery.
