Hi,

I've been employed for a number of years as an Assistant Editor (TV Broadcasting) for Post-Production companies. This seems to fall into a few NOC codes, mainly:

----

5225 – Audio and video recording technicians
  • Postproduction Technician
5227 – Support occupations in motion pictures, broadcasting, photography and the performing arts
  • Audiovisual (AV) assistant
  • Audiovisual (AV) assistant - motion pictures and broadcasting
  • Technical assistant - audiovisual
----

From previous posts, I understand that the listed Main Duties are more important then the job title, but my issue with this is that both these NOC codes are incredibly vague and encompass a very wide variety of roles.

For instance, 5227 lists 60+ titles: from Lighting Assistant, Wardrobe Attentants, to Stage Hands and Focus pullers (all completely different roles) ... but then the Main Duties list things completely irrelevant to these roles - instead focusing on just a select few examples of support occupations.

Any help on how to go about accessing which category I fall under would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

If you know the important thing is main duties, then I don't see why the 60+ titles are relevant.
 
Why even mention 'Wardrobe Attendant', for instance, if main duties is only talking about camera operators, projectionists and set builders?

It's like having a single NOC number with an index of titles for Surgeons, Carpenters and Plumber... and then have a list of main duties describing Chef work.

It's relevant.
