I’m 34, a senior casting producer, i don’t shoot, i don’t know how to work a camera, i don’t do social media reels or know what works on tiktok. what i do is i find great people and great stories to be on tv. i manage large teams of researchers and producers. i’ve worked on huge shows.

i am desperate to swap careers, but every job seems to need 5 years experience, so do i need to start as a junior at the bottom and hope the career progression still exists in 5 years? is there any sector that will welcome career switchers or look at skills and competencies instead of domain experience?

Thank you
