Description

Welcome to the final episode of our August Special Speaker Series! We're so excited to cap off this month with Liz Luu, a Talent Sourcer at Netflix Animation. At Netflix animation, the Sourcer is one of three parts to their recruiting team. Learn about the hiring process straight from Liz (and maybe learn a thing or two about portfolios!) Before recruiting, Liz worked for a long time at Cartoon Network as the Development Department Executive Assistant. We talk at length about stories and pitch bibles, some of the do's and don'ts and other various ins and outs. Getting warmed up to the idea of working a job like Liz? We also go into how she went from being a business/film major at University of Southern California to working at Cartoon Network in the first place. And for dessert, Liz has MEATY surprise... ;)
