We specialize in corporate video production for larger organizations and associations. We accomplish this by being organized, leveraging technology, and a lot of care and attention to detail.

We currently have a need for 2 video production assistants.

About the Position(s):

At CN Video, we give 100% of our focus and effort on everything we do, and therefore only work with exceptional candidates who have the right attitude and drive to succeed.

Responsibilities for video production assistant include but are not limited to:

• Help setting up studio/location and equipment
• Help setting up lighting, microphones, cameras and teleprompter
• Other responsibilities as needed before, during, and after production
• Video Editing is helpful, but not required

An ideal candidate:

• stays calm and focused in stressful situations,
• is always willing to make the extra effort to ensure things are done right,
• is responsible, reliable, and a creative problem solver,
• is comfortable with camera and lighting equipment.

If you want to prove yourself, this position is NOT for you. Our ideal team has nothing to prove, but a lot to contribute and a willingness to improve.

Tips for a successful application:

• Candidates who submit a cover letter explaining why they feel they’re a good fit, are most likely to be interviewed. We place more importance on this cover letter than the actual resume, and typically do not interview candidates who did not include one. We'd like to know a little about you and why you’re a good fit in your own words. (template /reusable cover letters tend to be less effective... speak about this position and why you're interested from the heart).
• Please include a link to examples of your work if available. If there are people you’ve worked with (personally, professionally, or in school) who can speak to your work ethic or skills, feel free to include a statement from them on your behalf, or include their contact information as a reference.
• We are a very small business, working hard to exceed our client’s expectations. Please be patient if you don’t hear from us right away (reviewing applicants can be overwhelming and we don’t have an HR department or anyone in charge of hiring full-time). If you submitted a resume and cover letter and feel you’re a good fit but haven’t heard from us in a week or so, I encourage you to give us a call to check on the status and request an interview.
