Hey all,
I wasn't sure which section to post this in, so I figured here is close enough.
I recently moved a couple thousand miles to Grand Junction, CO. My wife will be going to school out here, and I transferred to another location of the giant pharmacy chain I work for. I mostly stuck with them just to be sure we had some sort of income out here. Now that we're settled in, I'm going to be applying for something I might actually enjoy.
A local CBS affiliate is hiring a part-time production assistant. It's entry level, so I might have a shot at getting it. Thing is, career-wise I have no relevant experience. However I have experience with setting up OTA, FTA, and some basic video editing software. The job entails operating cameras, setting up the news van, making graphics, and other various tasks.
Is there anything I should know about the industry before interviewing? Anything I should avoid mentioning about FTA to a TV station? I know to never contact an uplinker, but I don't think a local would mind (and I don't do 4:2:2 anyway.)
