I wanted to avoid to reply, because I’m not one to complain, but honestly, it’s becoming too much.
I admit that I’m new to Mod, I decided to go for it at the start of this year and I sent I don’t even know how many applications for on-going dramas, check how many new projects started since January and do your counts.
And someone could say “Why?” because maybe it seems like I could be a “hoarder” but the thing is: no one gave me anything. And when it’s like that, you ask everything hoping that someone will trust you with a project.
When no one choose you, you can’t choose what you get and everytime you don’t ask, it’s a no.
As I said, I asked and asked, and trust me, my application is full of details. I don’t have a good curriculum in Mods, as I said, I just started and the few one in my profile are of old dramas that weren’t edited or Co-Mod I did, to understand even how it works, because you have to start somewhere. But at the end of the story, I don’t have experience on an on-going drama alone and this is already a no when I send an application. I understand perfectly that, you don’t know me or how I work and it’s a risk to give a project to someone you can’t trust yet.
But at the same time, how can I show you anything, if I don’t get anything?
How can I get experience, if all the projects go to someone that already got it? And you just accept that?
Even short dramas, movies, they go to people that have hands full of projects, when it could be an opportunity for someone new to prove themselves, not just me. I noticed CMs giving drama, even waiting sometimes to assign the role, just to give it to someone that has already the max number of Mods and sometimes those dramas were yet to start, so imagine maybe 4 drama yet to start and one almost finished and one already in your pocket since the CM is waiting. How can you expect someone FULL of projects to have a good quality in what they do? When you’re the one always giving it to them. You can’t say that it’s not true, but we can see that, we notice this things. Like when you assign someone JUST RIGHT when you get the channel as a CM, or when you get an application right then and you “already have someone to assign for that language”. We notice when you don’t even read our applications, when you don’t even check the profiles before rejecting us.
Because this isn’t about the real rejections, the people who “I checked and I chose another candidate”, this is about the people who literally just assign the role to someone because they want that person. As said before in another comment, the Italian comm is full of people, you always receive many applications, how is it possible that you give the project to the same few people? (even if this apply to all the languages)
It feels like the meme that “we only want young people to work here, but they should have experience, but they can’t work anywhere because we don’t want people with no experience.” In Italy we say “you can’t have a drunk wife and a bottle full of wine”.
I’m not new to rejections, my entire work in real life is based to request and get rejected most of the time, but this isn’t it. This is not envy, this is a phylosophical question: How can I get experience if I don’t get a chance? Specially when you say it to my face that I should “spread my wings” (quoting another comment).
Also, if you write that to send an application “you should have at least 20.000 subs, if not, ask someone to help you”, if I have even 20.001 subs, you can’t tell me that I don’t have enough subs to work, sure, you can reject me, but if you ask for a number and I have it, then it’s “a check” on your list and I still can apply. If you want to assign the role only to people that have 100.000 subs or more, write that! It saves time to both of us, trust me.
