How do you apply to positions at big name companies like Discovery and National Geographic?
Two of my acquaintances were executives with Discovery Channel, but both were laid off in recent months. Since 2007, the Discovery Channnel has been in a crunch, jettisoning staff. Additionally — and this may only pertain to my acquaintances’ former departments — both executives reported that, prior to their layoffs, morale was low and communications were tense. So hiring possibilities may remain slim presently. If hiring opportunities prove limited, you may want to attempt to build an independent contractor relationship with Discovery, for if higher-ups like your work, they may eventually offer you a position.
