Mort Meisner Associates Placement Process

Once you establish contact with the offices of Mort Meisner Associates, the work begins.

Finding the right placement agency is comparable to finding the right partner.  Integral to the partnership is understanding, trust and respect.  At Mort Meisner Associates, the process is real, honest and to the point.  Our mission is simple:  to get you placed where you wish to be (geographically) and where you should be (market size).

Interview  
It begins with an interview to determine your strengths - and weaknesses - and also to understand what you are looking for from your career.  We request a videotape and resume for on-air talent, and writing samples, along with a resume for producers, writers and managers where appropriate.

Contract  
Good matches are not made in heaven.  They typically are made on paper.  That is why Mort Meisner Associates asks its clients to commit, with a contract, to the agency as well as the process.  After all, a placement agency is only as successful as its clients.

Development  
Years of experience in the industry pay off here.  Upon review of your videotape, Mort Meisner Associates professionals work with you - analyzing your performance and offering suggestions for improvement.  A revised videotape will be prepared for release.  This tool, essentially, is your first interview with a prospective employer.

Networking  
This is where the connections make the difference.  Mort Meisner Associates's vast network of professionals at all markets and in all levels of the industry means your name and resume/videotape are seen by the people who do the hiring.  And frequently, a prospective employer sees a videotape even before there is an "official" position.  You see, Mort Meisner Associates prides itself on knowing about an opening before there is an opening, officially - before the word gets out.  And weekly contact via e-mail or telephone ensures clients know of the activity taking place on their behalf.

Fulfillment  
Mort Meisner Associates bases its business on the successful placement of clients.  If only stands to reason:  The more successful its clients are, the more successful Mort Meisner Associates will be.  Making sure its clients make the right decision - at the right time in their career - is what differentiates Mort Meisner Associates from the competition.  A placement is successful only if it is right for the client.

Long-term Development 
An agent's job doesn't stop upon a successful placement.  Neither does your career.  In fact, Mort Meisner Associates considers it only the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial relationship based on a client's successful career path.  Once placed, Mort Meisner Associates requests monthly videotapes in order to continue to critique and develop your career.  It's in Mort Meisner Associates's best interest - and yours - to continue to counsel your career, continue to search for your next placement, continue to present to you your next challenge.
