Research specific job openings by accessing the company's careers website which lists jobs in administration, animation, digital, human resources, marketing, media research and production. The website's "In The Spotlight" menu option lists current job openings in various divisions and includes the required qualifications. You can also check the classified sections of industry publications such as Hollywood Reporter and Variety for job listings specific to Warner Bros., or use the Internet to find job listings with sites like Glassdoor.com that display job openings from the studio.
Send your resume to targeted jobs either by postal mail or through an email inquiry. Many movie industry jobs, including those at Warner Bros., often accept resumes by email only, so access to the Internet is important. If there's a phone number listed with the job opening, you can call to make sure your resume's been received or to get further information (if available) about the job.
Offer your services as an unpaid intern to any division in Warner Bros. that has an opening. This can give you an easier entry into the studio, where you can prove your worth and parlay the internship into a paid position. However, because competition is intense for every job opening, even an internship may pit you against multiple qualified candidates.
Sign up with a temporary agency that specializes in movie studio job placement and offers work exclusively in the film industry, usually as an assistant or front desk worker. While this may not sound glamorous, you can build your skills and work experience and gain valuable contacts that can help you land that coveted job with Warner Bros. In addition, these agencies offer direct hires, meaning a temporary job may lead to a permanent position within the company. Agencies providing this service include the Friedman Agency in Beverly Hills, one of the industry's top staffing specialists since 1978. You can access their website and research the kind of companies and jobs they offer potential applicants.
