Great question! Start with sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor, but also check out SoundBetter, Hitmarker, Sonicbids, and Mandy Network for music and media-specific gigs. Look into internships or entry roles at companies like Universal Music Group, Warner Music, Splice, or Spotify. Don’t sleep on networking—your next opportunity might come from someone in your circle whether that be your alumni network, Grammy U or Social Media.
