🔥[06-26] Practicing the three-part strategy for a standout general meeting


Listen Later

Tamar Federknopp: I have a general meeting with a Post Producer for an Apple+ Show. I have never had a general meeting and want to know how best to impress and hopefully be considered for an editing position.

  • Shift the focus from impressing to understanding them, their needs and their vision for the show.
  • Thoroughly research the showrunner and their previous work so you can demonstrate genuine understanding and impress them with your insights during the interview.
  • Three things that you need to focus on in an interview.
  • Opening Game: Answer “Tell me about yourself” by sharing why this opportunity excites you and how you can add value.
  • Middle Game: Ask thoughtful questions about their vision, challenges, and workflow and let them speak more than you.
  • End Game: Ask questions to determine if the opportunity is right for you and if you are perfect for them.
  • Start with what you love about the story if asked about the editorial aspect of the script.
