Television production assistants can perform a wide array of tasks supporting and organizing the logistics behind arranging every step of the filming process. Their duties include hiring studios and supplies, making travel arrangements, booking accommodation, scheduling budgeting, record keeping, negotiate copyright permissions, complete paperwork, and generally assist the senior production staff during shooting. To get a job as a TV production assistant, work experience is far more important than any formal education, though some TV production assistants do have university degrees in relevant fields like communications or media studies. TV production assistants must demonstrate excellent communication skills, dedication, organization, attention to detail, multi-tasking, administrative skill, and budgeting.
