  • Avid Engineer Career path?

    Posted by Scott Kim on March 8, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    What is the career path for an Avid Engineer? It seems that many places prefer ACSR certification however the training is very expensive and not available in most cities. I currently work as a freelance assistant editor so I do have a background in working with Avid, however I find that open Engineering positions at post houses aren’t posted on job boards too often. Can anyone recommended how to develop a career in engineering?

    Work support for a company in the industry, whether it be Avid, a reseller or a post house are all viable options. The problem is getting your foot in the door.

    ACSR status helps a bunch, it’s expensive but it’s your “higher education” if it’s what you really want to do. I guess the key is getting your foot in somewhere and proving to them you are worth paying for the certification.
