Getting A TV Job: Get It In Writing!

Let's say you've finally done it - you got your first TV job, or even your second TV job.  You've gotten past the phase where a news director calls you to say that you got the job.  Now is the time for contract negotiations.  It is also the time to start making sure EVERYTHING you discuss that may or may not be placed in your contract is seen in writing.  Do not assume that just because a news director says that they will give you something that they will. 

Here is an excerpt from the book on this topic:

Throughout your career there will be questions you have about this or that, and sometimes they will be relevant to the future of your career. They might be questions about your pay, about a raise you thought you were supposed to be seeing but haven’t yet seen in your paycheck yet, or comments about a co-worker that is bothering you that you want to make sure your immediate supervisor knows about.
