Royal Television Society: Making it in TV Design

https://rts.org.uk/sites/default/files/making_it_in_tv_design_tipsheet.pdf

The BBC Academy referred to this site where there are even MORE resources for those of us budding to get into TV design! So here we go, more useful tips and tricks. I've selected just a few from this huge pdf tipsheet which I didn't already know/hadn't thought about before.

Get a Kay’s Art dept. diary. This lists prop houses and other specialist TV and film companies and is an art dept. bible!
I've never heard of this but sounds similar to the AOI address book, a list of professionals and contact details in the industry... could be really useful but a big investment.

Try and mix with people who are where you want to be. For example; while you’re trying to break into the industry, if you need to make some cash by working in bars or restaurants, you’d be better off in a location beside the BBC or ITV etc.
Very good point... if you can't get into the building, then work at the cafe/bar/shops nearby and MINGLE.
