Our second installment of Breaking Into The Biz features insight from talent acquisition professional Noelle Scindian! Hear her children’s media career journey while learning how to stand out on a resume, network with hiring managers, deal with rejection during the job hunt, and more.

Noelle Scindian is a passionate, people-first professional with over 5 years supporting talent, notably in the fast-paced industry of entertainment. After starting her career working for the top names in children’s media production, creating content designed to make kids “smarter, stronger, and kinder”, Noelle made a pivot to talent and people operations (HR) to direct that same purpose-driven energy towards cultivating positive candidate and work experiences. Just as she does for kids through her content, Noelle is committed to empowering others with the tools to thrive, drawing on her creative roots to develop innovative strategies that make workplaces truly exceptional. Her thoughtful guidance has helped hundreds of students build their confidence and skills; landing jobs at exciting companies like HBO and Dreamworks. Above all, she’s dedicated to making the entertainment industry a more equitable place to work.
