Meet the Talent Manager with ITV Loves Talent: new entrants and runners

Due to popular demand the ITV Loves Talent ScreenSkills CV clinics are back, but in a new format!

In these Meet the Talent Manager monthly sessions, Talent Managers from all over the industry will come together with ITV Loves Talent to meet with freelancers and offer advice about careers and CVs.  

On each session, successful applicants will join via Zoom for introductions then break out rooms will be introduced to enable  15 minute 1:1 consultations.  Talent Managers taking part will be advertised in advance and freelancers can request the Talent Manager they would prefer to meet if possible.  Those not in a 1:1 meeting will be in a break out room with Cheryl, who will be on hand to answer any questions about anything including CV advice.
