Author Topic: Looking for work Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-20-2010 06:57 AM                        quote: Jonathan Wendt he said he's worked 60 and 70 hours weeks, which is pretty harsh. unfortunately that is typical for Mike. When the place first opened he had no help at all and was running back and forth between houses running sound and lights for 2 shows at once!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Wendt Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Brooklyn, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 11-20-2010 12:15 PM                     Unfortunately wednesday was the first I had heard back from them to get in there and start working in two weeks, and it was for thursday and I couldn't get anyone to cover my shift at my other job. I'm definitely enjoying the change overs so I really hope they do get back to me again soon. And Sean, that is nuts!  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-22-2010 12:22 PM                        quote: And Sean, that is nuts! Yeah, welcome to SVA... quote: Jonathan Wendt Unfortunately wednesday was the first I had heard back from them to get in there and start working in two weeks, and it was for thursday and I couldn't get anyone to cover my shift at my other job. unfortunately they can sometimes go quite a while without running any actual film.  |  IP: Logged Elizabeth Betty Gross Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Astoria, NY, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 11-27-2010 08:43 PM                     That's what I meant when I said you should get a "real job". I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but you can't sit by the phone waiting for a shift here or there, especially if their regular guy will work such long hours himself. At least you got training in reel-to-reel change-overs. That may come in handy. NY is a tough market, with literally dozens of unemployed, long experienced projectionists available for any work they can get. I hope your regular job has better prospects.  |  IP: Logged Elizabeth Betty Gross Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Astoria, NY, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 01-04-2011 12:11 PM                     Happy New Year!! I hear you got yourself a real job - Congratulations!! How's it going?  |  IP: Logged
