About Media Connect Mentors

Hope Bradley

Mentor Consultant/Founder

My story began  25+ years ago as an intern with big dreams, ambition and no real world experience.  I was always a communicator and was fortunate to meet the right person who opened the right door at the right time. Along the way,  I have been called Director, Producer, Production Manager, Stage Manager, Creative Superivisor and various titles in between. In addition, I have successfully established myself as a 10-year collegiate and professional mentor and Certified Career Coach focusing on College Internships and career entry into production, media and entertainment. 

After years of advice driven conversations with up and coming media professionals, I created Media Connect Mentors to help guide students, graduates and early career media professionals in their quest to find their dream job. 

My Mission is to simplify the job search process. Through human connection and interaction,  Media Connect Mentors will bridge the gap between fruitless online searches and real opportunities. Networking matters and together we  will unlock  current industry trends that will untimately give you the tools you need to succeed.  

Why hire a mentor? 

Finding a job can be overwhelming, especially in the rapidly changing media landscape.  Mentoring is not just a service, it is a relationship with a person on the other side of your journey that can provide advice and guidance.  In this role, Media Connect Mentors will assist with your resume, online profile, review your website and/or reel and sift through the noise and clutter to find real opportunities. Defining goals, creating an action plan and highlighting in-demand skills will make you more visible to potential employers.  

Media Connect Mentors also offers "Meet A Pro", a service where we bring in a carefully selected professional that matches your area of interest for a live  conversation, sharing their experiences and providing inside knowledge into the current media landscape.

Media Connect has Internship Strategies!

Interships are the backbone of any resume and required at most colleges as part of the curriculum.  Whether you're a student looking to land an internship or a new graduate looking for additional experience, Media Connect Mentors will guide you through the process with insider perspectives and advice.  From our "Ready or Not" service that will polish your resume, Linkedin profile and assist with cover letters and search tips, to our expanded "Intern Boot Camp", which includes strategy, resume review and interview prep and much more. Media Connect Mentors will help navigate your path, eliminating hours of unnecssary confusion. Together we will lock in to your unique skill-set to showcase your strengths and accelerate your job search. 

What can a mentor do for you?

A mentor has been there and has seen the industry evolve.  It has been proven time and time again that creating connections, building a network and engaging with people currently working in creative roles will open doors and opportunities. College classes prepare you academically but finding your place in the professional world is more than just clicking on job boards and sending out resumes. Take the first step, CONNECT!
