A Hollywood assistant role has long been a launching point for a career in entertainment.
But "there is no blueprint" for how to get such a job, said Cathy Campo, a creative assistant at Netflix.
Campo launched The Hollywood Assistant, a monthly newsletter aimed at industry hopefuls, to change that.
In February, Campo launched The Hollywood Assistant, a free newsletter that recently released its sixth edition.
It's difficult to make ends meet on those salaries in the costly cities where the entertainment industry is most heavily concentrated: Los Angeles and New York.
