It's official...starting in May, I will be a Producer for the Biography Channel. I'm so excited and thankful for this opportunity! God is so good!
I have to wait a few weeks for someone to be hired in my current position and then I have to train them for a week. So, I'm looking at the first week of May to move over to the post-production department. My new job sounds more glamorous than it really is (as most things in life are). I will have a lot of paperwork to do. I will be in the editing studio once or twice a week for 8 hours at a time adding Biography Channel elements to programs, making sure they meet FCC standards, and have no audio or video errors. Most of my editing sessions will be during the day (8:30-4:30) but about once a month I'll have to do a night edit (5pm-1am). No, you won't see my name on the credits at the end of the show. That'll happen with my next job! When I'm in an editing session, A&E Networks buys my lunch. Nice perk! Plus, I have a little bit of flexibility in my hours.
Doug, my new boss, said that they decided to give me the job because they liked my initiative. I've never thought of myself as having initiative and for me to approach him in the first place is not something I usually do. So, it's really paid off for me to put myself out on a limb this time. Doug also mentioned that early in his career, people took a chance on him and gave him opportunities and he wanted to pay me the same consideration.
Ironically, an hour after I was offered the position, I received a phone call from ABC asking me to come in for an interview to work on "All My Children". I told them they were an hour late!
