GOAL: Provide select classifications the ability to more accurately reflect their skills

The Guild has recently implemented the ability to choose a "secondary classification." The additional options will allow members to more closely identify their profiles with their working skills.

• Your online profile will only display your secondary classification.
• This selection determines what available list you’re on.
  Example: Assistant Editor can select a secondary classification of Assistant Sound Editor, Assistant VFX Editor, Assistant Music Editor
• Prospective employers can search for the primary classification, which will include all secondary classifications OR fine-tune their search for the specific secondary classification.

Login to My Profile and Edit your profile following these steps:

1. Select "Edit".

2. Select "Change My Classification"

3. Select a Secondary classification from the pull down options. (The options available are specific to your primary classification.)

4. Select "Submit Change Request

~~~~~~~~~~

The secondary classification requests are immediate. There will be no upgrade fees or change in dues. 

Important to note:  When you select a secondary classification, this will be your new profile title.

EXCEPTIONS:

If you select VFX Editor as a secondary classification under Assistant Editor, you will NOT be included with the Assistant Editor search results.

If you select Mix Tech as a secondary classification under Recordist, you will NOT be included with the Recordist search results.

If you select Colorist as a secondary classification under Engineer, you will NOT be included with the Engineer search results.

If you would like to suggest additional secondary classifications, please send the request to webmaster@editorsguild.com.

EPISODE 1 - LOOKING AHEAD

Employers and members search the online membership database on a daily basis. It is important to keep your profile and contact information up-to-date.

Members have the option to upload up to three different PDF Resumes to their profiles. It is recommended to use a naming convention so employers can easily determine the difference in resumes.  Ie. VFX Resume, Assistant Editor Resume, Sound Designer resume, ADR Resume, etc.

What is a PROFILE vs RESUME?

Your profile is accessible by the general public (unless you specify otherwise). Adding Credits, Work History and Specializations will display in the Advanced Member Search. 

When logged in, members can also see your contact information and uploaded PDF resume.

Prospective employers and members searching the Available for Work List see all of the above plus Professional Summary, Certifications, References, Skills/Systems, Languages and Notes when provided.

What is the advantage of filling out all of the sections of the profile if you have already uploaded your own resume?

Prospective employers can search based on classification, skills, specializations, languages, region and “keywords.”  Some employers look for very specific skillsets, so it is highly suggested to always complete the specializations and skills section to ensure your profile is found. 

Additional information can be found at www.editorsguild.com/ProfilevsResume

What does the interface of the Available for Work List look like?

Results:

Once Search Criteria has been generated, employers have the ability to save their notes, save contact info for future use and search a member’s network.

Make this feature more useful by adding additional crew members to your credits or work history.  It’s easier for an employer to hire someone they have a personal connection with.  If you enter crew members you’ve worked with, this might help provide referral opportunities.

Example: In my Credit, I listed Scott George as a fellow crew member.  Because he is in the Guild’s database, his name is a hyperlink and is linked to his profile.

Of our 8,200 active members, we currently have approximately 7,900 members with passwords to the website.  Of those, 4,200 have completed a profile.  

Your participation will help make the Guild’s site the number one resource for hiring post production professionals!

The Advanced Member Search function is more concise and allows members to search specifically for members by name, classification, region, affiliation, agent and a phonetic search if unsure of spelling.

Website Calendar

Subscribe to the Calendar
This feature updates your personal calendar when events are posted, and is updated in real time. These links were just improved, so you will need to "unsubscribe" and "resubscribe" using the new east and west coast links, as shown here.

Event Order
All events are listed in chronological order for two calendar months. Events are color coordinated by region. Los Angeles is red and New York is purple.

Calendar Views
Members can narrow the view of this info by selecting Event Type or Event Region.

You can also choose to view your calendar either by Day or Monthly view.

My Reservations
You can easily change your reservation by visiting My Profile > Announcements or the Calendar if you need to change your RSVP. Due to the large number of no shows at events, maximum reservations are set to be exceeded. This prevents us from guaranteeing a seat even though you’ve RSVPd.
