In Between Jobs
As I sit on my parents couch, I reflect on a recent holiday where I talked with my friend whom I hadn’t seen in a year about what was going on; I recently got fired and finally got hired. They then replied back, “You always stay getting a job.” Although it felt like those two months without work was like I hadn’t worked in years, they were right. After this past job that was my first time working in another genre, working with family members (aka nepotism), I had to really look at myself and realize my worth. Many will tell you, being in a writers room is like high school – you have to be well liked. That is how I keep getting gigs.
My first job was as a script coordinator. Not only did I skip writers’ assistant and writers’ PA, I went right on to the position you usually get promoted to. My first boss, I met him at a book fair at the Crenshaw Mall.
