How to get into Netflix?

I’m a creative director looking for job opportunities at Netflix. Need Referal or advice. I’m applying for Innovation Creative, and I’m a perfect fit for this position. I have a robust portfolio and international experience. How to make them notice your application?

Do some research. Find out who runs the team or the overall org. Read the culture memo. Seriously read it and form some opinions on whether it is for you. I can’t stress that enough. After that make some decisions about how you want to go about making it happen for yourself. Do you use LinkedIn? Have you ever noticed any recruiters for the company? Basically do what you can to put yourself out there. A lot of good people are trying and a lot of them might also be a good fit so just try to make sure that you do everything you can, within reason, to get to the front of that list of potential candidates.

Thanks a lot, 1- connected with hiring managers via Lnkdn 2- I’ve read Cultural Memo twice; I’ve found a creative agency with very similar values. 3- connected with maybe 15-20 recruiters from Netflix It might be other things. - Entrepreneurial background. I was doing my creative agency for the last six years. - I'm fresh in LA and the USA - don’t have direct experience on US Market and streaming services - And I’m Russian.

Personally I don’t think any of the things you listed would in any way be a negative mark against you. But again that’s my personal take, but it wouldn’t really make sense for those things to count against you at all. I would say being in contact with folks definitely helps and if you see one or two openings on the jobs site for Netflix just reach out to the recruiters and pass that information along and briefly explain why you would be a good fit and why you are interested.

We do lots of recruiting events disguised as community events in both LG and LA. Go to a few of these, meet people, make good impressions.

I have been on one event at Netflix office building. 😅 But it turned out to be a Religious event ✝️. It was nice though.

I’ve built a creative agency in Russia, with 45 people on board, pursuing very similar values as Netflix. I am a big fan of many Netflix projects. For me, this is one of my life goals. I hope I don't idealizing and ready much to contribute. I'm also a member of the Television Academy.
