2. NETWORKING
Networking is a key skill for gaining employment within many industries, and
is a really important way of finding information and gaining employment in
the Media/Film industry. For example when a new project in TV or film gets
the green light, employers need to crew up quickly and the first people they
hire are the people they've worked with before. In this business, networking
and job hunting are very much linked. It's difficult to get a job without
making yourself known to people, so learning to network effectively is very
important.

3. TRADE FAIRS
Trade fairs are events organized to bring together professionals, training
bodies (Skillset and colleges etc), companies and people looking for work - so
that the companies can recruit people with necessary skills and so that job
seekers can network with each other and with training bodies and
employers/companies to help secure work. Freelancers get the most benefit
sources from trade fairs as it increases there attendance at the industry trade
fair and exposures detail of yourself so that if it is done properly the freelance
comes out of it with wealth of opportunity–new contacts, new clients and
most importantly: new income. So it is important to attend as it gives you
loads of opportunities
