Read MoreHi, my name is Jack Mannion. I am currently at the stage in my career where I am seeking entry-level/ runner opportunities in film/tv to further my way up the ladder. My most recent runner credit was being a Stage runner for the ITV variety entertainment show Britain's Got Talent. I learned many valuable skills during the role including, being forward-thinking, dynamic, reliable, and approachable.Over my three years of university, I have worked on multiple projects taking on different production roles. By doing this I have acquired key skills, which have made me a more reliable person. One project in which I felt I did a successful job on, was when I was a director on a documentary called Freeman Cycles. The role required me to think well on my feet, be punctual, be flexible and adaptable, and have the ability to work well with others. Each day I would have to work closely with my subjects. My role included letting my subjects know how to stay calm in front of the camera, be open when they talk, and to give them set instructions for our camera operator to film. The outcome of doing this project gave me a very valuable learning experience into directing a documentary, it also gave me very valuable key skills, which I have carried forward with me today. Additional to university work, I have had three years of experience working as a retail assistant in Tiger Cambridge. This role required me to work as a retail assistant and occasionally do stock checks. By interacting with customers each day, I acquired skills such as working under pressure, Good time management, and problem-solving. The work gave me very valuable experience, which I have managed to carry forward into the work I do today.
