Strategic Human Resource aPHR Careers in the 'Indie Film-Documentary Industry +

This is one of our 'Maximum-Impact' articles that actually takes the topic to a new level, also you can either read beginning to end or end to beginning if you like. The main original intent on this was to present to you as an SHR (Strategic Human Resource) with aPHR certifications unique opportunities in the Indie Film Industry, such as our recent article for Paralegals/LDA's in the same field. However, a brief summary of some 'crossover' options add Maximum-Impact as many of these could also be applied to actually seeking a career at a solid firm as well as going it on your own as an independent. In other words, look at this one as a 'puller' article. What's a 'puller article?' One where you can 'pull' elements from a seemingly non-related category and incorporate it in your career strategy for your intended marketing focus, or 'Familiarity'. You'll get the idea as you read on. So let's take a look and remove cluttered elements of complexity and feature in summary highlight form potentials and functions of each that you can apply in the Indie Film Industry as well other applications to each one. Special note, for those of you new to the Legal Field Careers site for LAVC you will see the replacement of SHR for HR, most important, as we recommend always refer to yourself as an SHR specialist (Strategic Human Resource) it shows you have given considerable effort to advancing and 'Maximizing' your career and market your strategic image to a higher level over what the rest will refer to themselves as simply being - HR looking for just a job.

First off, when considering what to do with your SHR/aPHR career, consider important elements, such as: job satisfaction, career potential, variety-options, Independence, monetary compensation, increased marketing opportunities and more, such as considering a category with lower degrees of stress levels, an important factor few will mention on this topic.

Let's reveal some traditional and some creative titles/categories relative to the SHR field that you can 'pull' from on any industry/commerce related business.
Best Careers for Human Resources Professionals.
Important: Keep in mind that bits, pieces and functions of all of what is listed here can be considered for 'pulling' purposes (used in) your career endeavor in the Indie Film Industry applications and in more ways than one, plus they can support your Familiarizing interest in your specialized interest.

Human Resources Manager

A 'One-on-One' Career Class
Satisfaction with and desire to actually help others in your career choice

Having an impact through hiring involvement, program benefits, training, labor disputes, insurance options that affect the workers within a/your firm can also be applied giving you satisfaction in helping others.

Nonprofit Organization(s) Human Resources Expert

For those who want to Help the World through Helping Others

Nonprofit companies present plentiful opportunities, such as staff recruiting, coordinating benefits, development of new programs and more. The Non-Profits firms traditionally, and yes by intent, hopefully, function their directives towards making positive influences and impacts on their operative services and/or products. This can include a wide range of categories far too numerous to cover here, but you're probably well aware of many of them, you'll hear their ads all over the media sources so pick those that you find most appealing to you.
Human Resource Consultant Career

The Independent SHR Field of Opportunity
'The Lone Wolf' approach

Make good money whenever and wherever you want to.
The SHR consultant can charge an open source of virtually unlimited numbers of companies a high hourly rate or a 'per-job' cost to provide much-needed services, and on a 'custom' basis. The benefit to you is that you are not engulfed in their day to day or location functions as you are a 'servicing vendor/provider'. And here's one of the main benefits, that of being able to 'Specialize' in any number of fields you are 'Familiar' with, (recognize that concept, Familiarizing)?

Another really good benefit is that you get to select a business you want to work with or market to. The SHR consultant gives you a couple of really great options re: Independence of choice of what firm, where is the firm, and Independence of how much to charge. You set your own boundaries based on sound marketing and area of influence strategies, and, as we stress throughout the LFC site in our Maximum-Impact articles, your personal 'Familiar' interests and knowledge.

International Human Resources Professional

This career track is great if you like the travel aspect: You can visit countries all over the world and experience a great variety of people and cultures.

The job of the international human resources professional may involve recruiting candidates into global positions, training and development standards across an international organization, implementing benefits plans as national laws allow, labor relations, employee programs and many more. This HR track involves the same kinds of tasks that a national human resources professional might engage in, but with a great variety of cultures, languages and locations thrown into the mix. International HR can be interesting if you love to travel, speak multiple languages and are adept at engaging successfully with a wide variety of different customs. Boredom would probably not be something to worry about with this human resources career path.

Executive Recruiter Servicing Business
A 'Headhunter' provider service

This is basically your 'senior executive' job/career finder service, from Vice Presidents to CEO's. The way you get paid on this one is generally on an up from retainer basis or in full upon fulfillment, and the fees on this one can be very large. This can be a highly competitive field so you'd have to apply and tolerate a consistent aggressive approach with competitive marketing efforts.

Training & Development Manager or Independent Consultant

For those with teaching interests this may be a consideration in the corporate arena. While the job performance includes much of the normal HR elements, this focuses on actual employee training in custom held classes, workshops, conferences and such. Here you would be developing effective work methods for employees based on categories the employer deems important, formulating sessions that both entertain and inform makes you a valuable asset, and there's another area where your creative development comes in. Entertain is a key word here.

According to a CNNMoney survey, 60 percent of education and training consultants listed this as one of those low-stress career jobs. As a consultant you would perform/provide 'in parallel' tasks as mentioned above, but without the full-time commitment, you can schedule these to conform to you calendar workloads setting your own hours. A lot of companies hire on a contract or retainer basis and that works out well for both. This one is truly an 'indie' career with cross-over opportunities.

Human Resources IT Specialist with Increasing 'Niches'

A Potential for accelerated advancement and earnings
While the basic foundation of HR functions have been relatively stable over the years, the increasing expansion of new technological advancements have and continues to increase 10 fold. Don't forget you can throw in the advancement of AI/Robotics in this mix as well.

Specializing in this niche field can be highly rewarding. It's not really necessary to break this one down into parts and categories as there are far too many side options here, just the category alone speaks for itself, and once again, herein are some good 'pullers' for you in your specialized field of Familiarized interest, such as Indie Film Documentary Industry.

SHR Entrepreneur - Your Career to an Auto Pilot Early Retirement

After you have worked hard to build your successful business, you can hire someone else to run it and make peaceful income

PEO - the Headhunter Outsource method

Ever hear the term PEO? (Professional Employer Organization). That's just about what we've been talking about in much of these above mentioned options. Other names are Headhunters, Consulting, Outsourcing, etc. this can be a really 'rewarding' result of your years of hard work in your Entrepreneurial Career in SHR. Plus, more and more large firms are outsourcing their HR needs, a bit of a 'high risk' venture but if successful enough, you could always sell your firm for big 'bucks'.

Your SHR Career in the Indie Film/Docu Industry

Now for the focus title of this article

As a SHR with your aPHR certifications acting as an independent operator, you have a lot of different strategic marketing avenues in the Indie Film industry. This especially hods true when dealing with 'non-union' projects, of which there are plenty. Now when we mention Indie Film Industry, just think of both full length feature films TRT (total running time) approx 90-100 minutes, short films usually around 5-6 minutes, and documentaries, usually 30 or 60 minutes. This also can include another category of producers of industrial videos/films.

Before we start though be sure you read our previous article on Paralegals in the Indie Film Industry as you will find very valuable insights and useful factors that are a companion to your SHR efforts you won't find in any one place. Plus you;'ll also see some powerhouse strategic and direct marketing resources for your new SHR biz you don't know of unless you're very familiar with this industry.

Ok now that you get the general idea, let's look into the application of your SHR to this industry and how, when and where you can apply your career service

One technical piece of information is that when considering the film industry category you'll be looking at 2 very distinct levels of operation, one is what is referred to in the industry as 'above the line' and the other 'below the line'. This industry phrase is used to determine budgets and assist with funding efforts. Think of it as a 'pecking' order of sorts, look have you ever heard of any one saying "hey let's go see this new film because Hubert Crumbly did some carpenter work on it? No, I doubt it, unless he's your relative, but you certainly would if you recognized a major star right?

Above the Line - The Movie Industry

Above the line is generally just that, your main cast, stars and supporting cast, the DP (Director of Photography), Director, Producers, Writers and such. These are the high line paid cast/crew. This is a far more difficult one to focus on unless you have years of experience directly in the feature film and television broadcast world. This would require knowledge and understanding of acting, production, script layouts, post production functions, casting and such. But believe me, hiring staff for as an HR for a firm is nothing like trying to perform casting duties in film and television, big difference that requires specific industry experience and understanding.

Below the Line - The Movie Industry

Below the line is where you should be focusing your services to as this is the actual staff that is the foundation for the production, such as location scouts, electricians, sound, carpenters, caterers, accommodation, grips, painters, craft services, assistants, laborers, transportation and on and on. Basically, the hourly wage workers. There are some that can cross over but that's a general idea.
The below the line categories are more closely related to many of the functions and service fields a normal HR (SHR - YOU) would be dealing with in the regular business world and ones you would be more solidly familiar with, so while the titles are different from what you're used to, your application of services and expertise would not be.

Union vs Non-Union

With a non-union type project you'll find many of the below the line staff wearing multiple hats, but with union projects it's far tighter and generally can't be crossed over or mixed. Now if you think that there isn't quite enough here, realize I only touched the surface, just watch the end credit of any film, or even TV production and you'll sit there for what seems like an hour watching all the credits scroll by. So in line with the Familiarization aspect pushed throughout our Maximum-Impact articles, learn some of these job function elements and gain a basic understanding of the Indie film production world. Starting to see the application value of the seemingly non-related topics covered earlier? If the Indie Film Industry is for you, then take all of what you've been introduced here and form your strategic list of exactly what services you can offer to 'as-many-as-possible' on the categories mentioned. You'll start to see an entire stream of categories and sub-categories where marketing can be applied. The best place to start for the entertainment industry category can be found in our recent article on Paralegals in the Indie Film Industry. So start formulating your interests, your familiarity favorites and with the potential job classifications that fit within this industry and you'll see a wide range of opportunity for your career in the Indie Film world.

Incorporate the 'Pullers'

If you specialize in those areas that you're familiar with, most interested in you increase your value while reducing the stress level, so pull from all those niche areas of seemingly non-related typical HR service categories mentioned in this article and combine that with your own special areas of interest and familiarization and build your career around that, adding to it from time to time on those new topics you find of interest.

It bears repeating to go on over to our most recent article on PL/LDA in the Indie Film/Documentary Industry as well as our Maximum-Impact Articles and Tips Section as even though you are approaching this from your own SHR/aPHR career interest, there are some extremely valuable marketing and other important applicable elements you must be aware of that will give you that 'added' Maximum-Impact' advantage.

Remember, our Maximum-Impact articles you won't find in any one place anywhere, are not your basic 'owners manual' with step-by-step instructions, but far more, they are designed to boost your application potentials and to enhance your creativity in your High-Velocity career you have chosen to partake in. Realize that this is not something you're going to learn from instructional material, but more importantly, something you develop on your own.

Maxim Paralegal Tip # 1 - August 2019

Paralegal Calendar Dates - Recourse and Liability
by Jonathan Arnold, Esq.

Q: As a Paralegal working for a law firm you know that one of your main responsibilities is to draft client calendars and ensure accurate dates. But do you know what your/your firm's liabilities and client recourse is should you mis-calendarize causing the firm's client to incur an adverse outcome or financial loss?

A: Any attorney that uses the services of a paralegal is ultimately liable to the client for any harm that results from the paralegal's negligence or misconduct. Put another way, the duties that an attorney owes to the client are non-delegable, meaning that it is the attorney who bears the brunt for mistakes made within the attorney's office. That being said, no attorney is going to be happy (to put it mildly) with errors -- especially calendaring errors -- made by his or her paralegal(s). The key here is to know not only how to compute dates (ranging from applicable Statute of Limitations dates to any relevant transaction dates) but then TO BEAT THOSE DATES so that things like court filings, discovery responses, revised contracts and the like are not only calendared for completion before they are due, but also sent/filed A FEW DAYS EARLY. How to do this is just one of the important subjects we cover in our Paralegal program.
