This TV pilot will be a real-life series about unique American office environments that could benefit from a management expert.
Your company might be dealing with a stubborn middleman or a lethargic sales team. Or maybe the business is running smoothly, except for one person or department. If this sounds like you, this show wants to help.
The casting director told me they’re not expecting the company to air all its dirty laundry on national TV but to simply be willing to accept help for a personnel problem it can’t solve.
How to Apply
Interested? To be considered, email managerialcasting@gmail.com with the following information:
- Your full name, occupation and city/state of residence.
- Length of time at your current company, and in your current position.
- Brief description of the current personnel issue, how it is negatively affecting your business, and how you’re dealing with it or planning to deal with it.
- Best contact phone numbers and emails.
- A few recent photos of you.
Why would a company want this type of publicity?
Because it needs help from a qualified professional. Because the production company might feature many of the company’s qualities, such as reasons people would want to work there. And because many companies can’t afford to pay for this type of TV exposure.

I have several businesses who might be interested in doing a combined segment on this… we have a small community that functions as an island that can only be entered by small plane or boat or through the Canada/US International border.
Population year round is approx 1000, 60% of full time residents are retired – in summer around 4-5,000 people here in cabins and second homes.
Because of Canadian border restrictions if workers have a DUI or even misdemeanor like shoplifting on their record they can’t get through from the mainland and everyone coming in or going out has to have a passport.
Labor pool is small and we can’t hire people from Canada for part-time positions since 9/11 and increased restrictions. A very big challenge but could be an interesting segment even if you can’t solve it and focus on employee retention.
Kathryn, this is a GREAT story. I’m not sure if they’re featuring only U.S. companies in the pilot, but go ahead and pitch it.
