Interview Questions/ Answers
Explain any mutual benefit
experiences in the entertainment field
you may have had? Rose
stated, “Working within the industry; you build relationships with Executives, Celebrity Management and
Security. They seem to appreciate when you
can do your job well, assist in dealing with difficult situations,
but more so being trust worthy. In that being said, some of the perks are great. I have seen with other staff or volunteers,
where they have been offered jobs or
tickets to see shows.“
In your years of
experience how do people get pass the answer
of “NO” in the entertainment field? How will you use BATNA theory? Rose mention, “ In the entertainment industry,
I find that when I am dealing with
Executives or high profile celebrities, depending on the situation, I bargain by offering a
suggestion or another alternative to
the matter or basically there is no other alternative but to say no.
Before saying no, I evaluate and look at the matter at hand to come a final decision. Keep in mind that I am always open for suggestions to come to an agreement.”
In the multi-media Entertainment field have you experience any
Dirty Tricks? Rose stated,
“My experience of dirty tricks has been
within production staff. There seems to be a high competition within
freelance work. I have heard and seen other production staff talk against
one another to gain and compete for
jobs. In realization, the person doing
the talking is putting their job in
jeopardy.“
Rose Dorado, advice for
someone wanting to obtain the position as a Talent Coordinator; they should
volunteer and get the feel of the protocol of production. There are various departments within a
production. Be confident and observe.
The most important thing I have learned in holding various positions is that
the Talent is no different from you and I.
They just have a different job on the production and of course make more
money than me. :) Also be confident that you can do the job.
Once I started getting
more involved and seeing more of how productions operates, I saw it as a great
opportunity to expand my knowledge and of course made many contacts within the
industry.
Working in this field
was not what I began to make as a career.
I actually work for the State of California as a tax evasion technician. Working in production is my "fun"
job, and I work it around my regular 8-5 job. I truly enjoy the production
because it has allowed me to meet wonder people and then enjoy meeting the
volunteers that make the show a success.
