TRAVIS’s Answer

Sign up for an internship ASAP if they are still available for you. You do have a resume, volunteer work, school projects, pending diplomas or certifications can all be included on a resume. Free lance work or any job that you have every had are fine to include. Even if you worked at fastfood. Include it as it will show that you have basic employability skills. Volunteer at any affinity group you like. Make sure your resume matches what is on linkedin and make it a long resume 2-4 pages.

Krishawna’s Answer

Well done on taking the initiative to find answers. It's definitely not too late. As a Senior, your first step should be to talk with your advisor about college opportunities. If you're attending college online, consider getting some volunteer experience. Don't limit yourself to just cinematography-related roles. Volunteering in different fields can help you develop skills like organization, teamwork, and time management, which are valuable in any career. Stay open to various job roles, as you never know how they might connect to your goals. If you land a role in cinematography, that's fantastic. If not, enjoy the journey and keep trying. Here are some more tips to help you along the way.

Krishawna recommends the following next steps:

Look for local groups online and in person as it relates to cinematography (any art related group)
Visit your local schools to see if you can offer assistance in their "arts" departments
Apply to multiple jobs (not just in cinematography, so you are able to get some work experience)
Visit your local library for potential volunteer or job openings
