Production Assistant: How to break into the industry

But without too much annoyance, but obviously, like, really ask, ask, ask, ask, "Anything I can do to help?" And before I used to be like, I used to...
S
13:00Skye CaesarGUEST
I had no responsibilities in the beginning, so I would go to the AP and be like, "Do you mind if I sit behind you and watch creepily over your shoulder as you look at the documents?" Like the MOTs and the, you know, whatever kind of documents that you're doing.

13:15Skye CaesarGUEST
And then I would slowly start looking at distribution lists and schedules and transport movement orders, and all of these things that, yeah, I'm so glad I l- looked over their shoulder and was nosy.
S
13:28Skye CaesarGUEST
So be, be a bit nosy, um, and kind of, but be as aware as you can of, like, sometimes, like, all the magic doesn't happen at once.
S
13:38Skye CaesarGUEST
It's like a process, isn't it? Especially if you're in production, there's like quiet days, and then there's, like, hectic days, and then it's quiet again.
S
13:46Skye CaesarGUEST
So you won't always get, like, all the info in one day, but just kind of like take each day, um, and try not to be nervous.
