Oh CRAP! Help is needed for me for this interview I am going to!

[david]

I just got an email from a talent scout for a postion I applied for with a scouting agency to seek top notch perspective clients in the South Florida area!

I did it for the fun of it because the last time, I was bypassed because my answer towards their questions were off!

Being a part of NARAS (Grammy) (inactive though for 2 years but recently activated), I would have thought through the active years on how to cope with stars would have helped.

I am VERY VERY SCARED now!

So with this in mind.......... bricks I am shytting!

I need a drink or two or three!

 

[Arnold]

relax and be yourself.

 

[Stacey]

AND MAKE EYE CONTACT!!!

 

[SteveDeBeave]

Be prepared and ask the interviewers lots of questions at the appropriate times. You know the job, now research your future employer. Tell them what you can do for THEM. RELAX!

 

[101Tazman]

You'll be fine bro! just be yourself

 

[david]

Thanks everyone and research is what I'll be doing on Talent Scouting and calling my friend in NYC.

Imagine if I get this job they'll be no post whoring for me anymore!

Thank you all very much!

 

[Trap-isaurus]

Im sure you'll get it, good luck

That would be the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. (NARAS aka... the Grammy awards.) They are broken down to branches and divisions and Miami Beach has a branch and what they do is they hold events in the Local and Florida area promoting music and awareness to the communities etc..

For example, when I was involved we did a function at Julio Inglesias house. Also, I was involved in the launched was is now a division for the Latin community worldwide called, LARAS. L=Latin and that one had Inglesias and Estefan's etc. A lot of fun! One time, we held a function at the Hard Rock cafe and my boss told me that I was going to act like stage manager and make sure the talent gets on stage so I felt kinda funny telling Band managers and the band to GET UP ON STAGE! Funny, but that was 5 years ago!

I am rejoining NARAS here tomorrow and have to write a short essay etc. That should be fun but EASY!

 

[david]

Oh and the eye contact, that will be of NO problem, the overly smiling is what I have to worry about!!! Sometimes people don't take me serious!

 

[Dero]

I see!!!
Right on!!!
Julio,the guy that goes through sound board ops like there's no tomorrow...
Yes,he was in our venue two years ago,as a sound board op,FOH and/or MON,I would NEVER take a job with him!!!
All the luck in that interview,I understand what you're talking about,dat's right down my alley!!!
For sure,Eye contact is very important!!!
Assurance in your body language(I'm sure you have no problems with dat!!!)
And never get intimidated by whoomever you're telling to get their scranny butt on stage...
Be it Sir Elton John,Sir Paul Mcartny...NOBODY,that's when you loose jobs in this bizz...Ya know what I mean!!!

 

[david]

I hear ya?!

You do Live sound??

 

[Dero]

Ma main gig!!!
Although I do a lot of theatre(playback and some live)
but every now and then I do a show like I did two weeks ago...
2X 40 chan,Midas XL3 monitor desk for the GG Awards up here in Canada!!! CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation same as CBS or NBC...)
The Guess Who were inductees also played a few songs...

 

[Duncan]

No Prob Dave, Duncan has 10 surefire strategies that are sure to get you the job. Here they are in no particular order.


1)If the Lady is overweight, ask her when she is expecting. If she gets mad, tell her you could have swore she was pregnant with twins.

2)Passing gaseous emissions, whether they are belches or farts, is highly recommended.

3)Do not put antiperspirant on before the interview, it tends to clog the pores.

4)Where a T-shirt that say "You must be 18 years of age to ride this ride." or "I'm with stupid." Those 2 always kill.

5)When they go to shake your hand, pull it away and do the hair parting thing from the 70s.

6)Whenever possible, rhyme just like Jesse Jackson. If you don't know a word that rhymes with another, make one up, he does.

7)Bash all religions and political affiliations right off the bat.

8)Some people think this is rather tasteless, but a strategically placed mustard or beer stain on your shirt can be a very good conversation piece.

9)Whenever possible, refer to the female gender as chicks.

10)Being comfortable is paramount so, if you have a wedgie, dig in and pull it out. Stress can be a deal breaker and you don't want tighty whiteys coming between you and your job. This whole scenario can be avoided by not wearing underwear.

Good uck, but with my 10 rules of the road, luck will be the last thing you need.

I think the last board I worked on (which was in school) was a SSL (live sound wise) (Never went into it... instead chose Music Business.) and don't ask me what model either. I attended Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts in Winter Park, FL along with UCF.

That's awesome Dero!

 

[Dero]

But SSL are studio desks
That school must have had mega $$$$$$$ !

 

[irontime]

What? I've only been on for 4.5 hours!

 

[lean_n_76er]

OMG! Where is your GF? WTF are you doing on the computer so long? Go out, get some fresh air! You know, "got a drink in my hand, got my toes in the sand and all I really need is a woman..."

Get it?

I just made dinner two hours ago. Isn't there a consolation in that??

 

[david]

Then, I'm going to open the bun and slip the hot dog in! Care for some Ketchup, Lean'n?

Ketchup= period!

 

[david]

PS. The brown stuff would be known as "Foreign substance" often found in Chinese food!

No, this is sick!


The body bags and little rags of children torn in two, and the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song, To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

- Iron Maiden's, "2 minutes to midnight"

 

[lean_n_76er]

Cool! Now I got that song in my head! But I prefer..

"you take my life, but I'll take your's too! You fire muskets, but I'll run you through. And while your waiting for the next attack, you better stand there's no turning back!"
