My temp agency reached out to me to see if I could work at CNN and make packages in their taperoom.
Score! Finally something that utilizes my skill set.
For the less-informed, I’ll tell you- in TV news, a package is a short news segment that’s part of a larger program.
When I arrived, I saw a bunch of packages already made
in the form of cardboard boxes.
Job #16 - Day Receptionist
The above is Bigfoote’s timelapse video of NYC during Hurricane Irene
Remember Job #6, the double-booking receptionist job that I couldn’t do?
They invited me back.
This place is amazing. Bigfoote is a music production studio that makes tracks for commercials for Google, Smirnoff, Adobe, Mercedes… go ahead and listen for yourself.
Their studio overlooks Union Square and they have a kitchen with food! For lunch I made a real ham and cheese sandwich on organic bread and a side of all-natural blue tortilla chips.
My last day there I got talking to the co-owner of the place, and told him my journey through working on several TV shows and now starting to pursue writing and performing myself. I said I’m working paying jobs as much as possible, hitting the comedy theaters almost every night, performing with an improv team, and writing with a sketch team. He listened and nodded and said, “I think you’re on the right track.” That’s good to hear from someone I consider successful in the creative world!
Remember my post about working the Tostitos Fiesta in the Square?
I got in OK Magazine!
