DETROIT, MI, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pinkslips, foreclosures and money worries are a thing of the past for cast members of a new reality web show, How do I Get Hired?. The group of jobless people from different backgrounds, all from metro Detroit - one of the nations hardest hit economies, are forced to deal with their employment problems, while being challenged to learn new job searching skills. The ultimate career coach, Therese Marie, leads the group in a no-excuses boot-camp to get them out of a rut and back to work. How Do I Get Hired? web series is set to film July 6, in Detroit.
How do I Get Hired? features cast member personal stories and family drama at home as they get a second chance to make a first impression in front of potential employers. The show's producers are pushing a nationwide campaign to raise $60,000 of its $100,000 budget to pay the Detroit-based crew and finish shooting the first installment of the web-based series by July 6. All the money raised will go back into the metro Detroit economy and spent at local businesses.
How Do I get Hired? Producers JR Stern Creative, which includes Detroit natives Monica Link and Matt Matthews, are a collaboration of independent artists and filmmakers. They are collecting donations through creative funding source Kickstarter.com and its website HowdoIgethiredtv.com.
"We wanted to create a show where the cast members are people everyone can relate to," said Monica Link, author of Live Your Dreams Now! Blog and co-executive producer of How Do I Get Hired. "It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, we all need money to pay bills and a career we can be proud of. How Do I get Hired, is a chance to root for the little guy and learn something for yourself."
The cast members tell personal stories that can be told by many American's with job and financial concerns.
"This is the worst I've ever done in my life," said cast member Dave, as a part of his video interview to join the series. Dave was among many metro Detroiter's who took buyouts from automakers hoping to find new career opportunities.
"I feel like a charity case," said cast member Takara about her money problems created from a layoff.
Metro-Detroit based career coach, Therese Marie, a 20-year human resources veteran and former career consultant for Fox 2 Detroit, is ready to whip the cast of How Do I Get Hired? in shape and get them back to work. "What I'm gonna do is help them figure out how they're getting in the way of being successful in finding a job," she said about her involvement in the show. "They're probably doing all the stuff everyone else has done, but they're getting in the way somehow."
Once filming is complete, the show is set to air online this fall. Once the first season is complete the producers plan to help people in other cities with struggling economies.
