Footnote:

The entertainment business is a strange beast indeed! It often works on the "who-you-know" principle which is why it is important to make and retain as many contacts as possible during your AIA training - and throughout your entire career.

Networking is the key

Many of our successful graduates are now working all over the world and we know that they are more than happy to help AIA's new grads get a foothold in the business. You will have hundreds of contacts around the world to help you get established.

The majority of positions are filled not from classified advertising but through personal contacts and recommendations by friends or colleagues. Being in the right place at the right time has always been always a winning condition.

Doing a job you love is loving the job you do!
