Hi Joaquin,

Thanks for your question! I'm sorry to hear that you have had some difficulty finding a job, that must be frustrating. I did some research, and was able to find a few careers centered around movie or TV show viewing.

Netflix has opportunities for people to become a "juicer" or a "tagger", which is someone who finds the best clips to preview content next to a title and someone who tags genres for various content. Clip Researchers do research for shows (such as Ellen) and finds clips that can be featured for an episode and decide what clips would be best. There is also a Closed Captionist, who's job it is to create the captions on media content. That said, it appears as though these jobs tend to be part-time and are few and far between.

There are also dozens of careers that would allow you to work remotely, outside of TV or movie viewing. Some examples include email marketer, translator, IT related jobs, and customer service related jobs.

Hopefully that gives you a starting point for your search. Best of luck as you continue looking!

Try contacting AC Nielsen. They have folks that watch TV and are part of their "people meter" group.
