2. Ms. V went to college and graduated with a degree in Communications. She began working in television and moved in to features shortly afterwards after beginning work for a production company.
3. The best thing to do is be honest and up front about it. Otherwise, it makes you look bad. Most of the time people are cool and understand that, sometimes, you just get overwhelmed.
4. Get a good internship, try everything and figure out what you like doing. People in the industry are usually very friendly and are willing to teach you, so do as much as you can. It’s a tough business but if you love it, go for it! It’s long hours and kind of a nomadic lifestyle. If you work freelance, it can be very uncertain at times but very rewarding and you meet lots of different people.
