UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAREER STAGE
Four Es' - entry, early, experienced and expert.
ScreenSkills has developed a handy guide to understanding the stage you're at in your career
ENTRY
If you are entering the screen industries, the 'entry' career stage might be the one for you
Education history:
I might have left full-time education within the last two years.
Career:
I'm still working that out, but I've definitely decided the screen industries are for me.
Professional engagements:
I am working towards my first couple of professional production credits or full-time employed roles in the screen industries.
Budgetary responsibility:
I am not expected to manage budgets or spend money on behalf of the production or company.
Team management:
I do not manage anyone other than myself.
EARLY
'Early' is the career stage best suited for you if you are establishing your career.
Education history:
I might have left full-time education more than two years ago.
Career:
I have a sense of which job role or department I want to work in but as yet I might not be working regularly within it.
Professional engagements:
I have two or more professional production credits and/or have been employed in an industry-recognised role on two or more occasions.
Budgetary responsibility:
I have very minor budgeting responsibility, often restricted to petty cash or acquiring quotes for goods and services.
Team management:
I manage myself and sometimes others also at my level.
EXPERIENCED
Education history:
I left full-time education more than five years ago.
Career:
I've chosen my job role or department and I am regularly working in it.
Professional engagements:
I have a number of professional production credits in my current role or I am transferring in with advanced skills from another sector. I have been working in my chosen industry-recognised role for a number of years full-time.
Budgetary responsibility:
I might expect to be in control of my budget, reporting to a more senior member of the production or company.
Team management:
I might be responsible in my department for overseeing entry-and early-stage career colleagues working with me.
