Hello I am new here but you all seem to give great perspective on things I need to ask your advice. Don't know if I am just being paranoid.
Been divorced 2yrs next month and have been back working in the field I was working in before (tv related,sorry can't be more specific)for the last year. Have emailed and sent brochures and given updates on websites and new services we offer throughout the year to all in the industry i know and have worked with and those I haven't worked with but may know my work but NO-ONE I repeat NO-ONE has employed me from the tv sector.
Getting work from other sources and am now breaking even after a year (which is pretty bloody good) but tv work does pay a bit more and to be honest is creatively more satisfying too.
Now, xh is a producer and ex bigwig in regional broadcasting and had influence in commissioning programmes in the local independant sector and am wondering if either people are too scared of him to employ me or I really was/am crap at my job and only ever got employed before because of him! (which by the way he did successfully sue someone because they they accused him of nepotism after which 'we agreed' i would only work for people who had previously employed me)
Don't really know what to do next other than ringing them up personally and asking them if there is any work coming up and to consider me (balk) or do another round of emails and mailshots etc.
please have run out of brainspace
sorry for ramble and mixed up info.
