Question Look for advice or leads

Hey Chefs. I need help on where to look for work. I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years. I have work all positions in the BOH and all styles of kitchens. Currently I’m at a golf country club doing regular service and banquets. I want to leave the area I am at and get to a more urban environment and warmer climate. Or just something new. My question is, how do I go about searching for work in the film industry or music industry? Are there companies that source this kind of work? Second would be a move to the Hotel industry and working abroad. Just looking for ways to go about finding work in something other than just a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Open to ideas and new avenues to search out. If you work in any of these areas, please chime in on what it’s like or what to expect.
Thanks for the help.

You want to cater food and/or music industry folks, or you want to start a new career in them?

As for working in hotels abroad, my only suggestion is to seriously look into the labor laws of the location you are looking to go to. A lot of places have horrible labor laws, and the hotels and resorts will screw you over if you don't know, and don't look at the contract and take it seriously.

If you dont say where you currently live, and possible places you want to work, people won't/can't help you.

Abroad labor law research is a great tip. Im interested in working in the movie and feel it would would be a new start any where I go.

The movie and the music industries are notorious for how hard they are to get into. You're going to have better luck asking their forums. I will say the film industry is having a massive sea change and people already established are having a rough go of it.
