New TV Networking App, ShoBizzy

With the current unemployment crisis in Hollywood, many TV and film crew members are concerned about finding their next job. This is particularly the case for freelancers, who often face unstable work and irregular pay. ShoBizzy is the latest professional networking app for the entertainment industry that aims to address this challenge. And, as more workers could be at risk of being out of a job, ShoBizzy recently expanded its offering to allow users to pursue opportunities in additional areas like live events and content creation. Launched in January, the app sets itself apart from traditional job-post boards such as Backstage and StaffMeUp because it doesn’t require users to fill out applications. Instead, it provides a social platform for freelancers to create public profiles showcasing their skills and expertise, as well as form long-lasting connections with people in the business who can serve as valuable references for future job opportunities.
