Why wouldn't you want to bring 'em and put your best foot forward?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Good point.

Basically it's because I will have to produce one . I have not written my "music/ studio shit" resume.

All well, weekend project!

 

[fatalforce]

Definitely bring a resume.

 

[Metaltastic]

Kickass dude, that's the spirit - where are you applying to?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Subcat studio in seneca fall NY.

 

[poidaobi]

Good Luck Mate.

Just be really professional and communicate well. (you probably know this already).

 

[Nebulous]

I'd say your previous mixes/ productions would be of most interest, but bringing a written document of anything you'd like to show off and not forget about wouldn't be a bad idea.

Make sure to emphasize your ability to make a great tasting coffee!

HOLY GOD, I just checked their website - that gear list is endless, you should have a blast just looking at it all, even if you don't get to use it!

Maybe that was a joke, but from personal experience, it helps if you say you are willing to do any dirty work they need you to do...clean the bathrooms, make coffee, sweep up...it sounds shitty but they'll usually let you do alot of studio work as well.

It kind of makes sense, why should they have to do it when they have interns that can? Some studio owners get turned off by interns that make it clear they don't clean or whatever...its like being a Freshman in high school all over again; sometimes you have to pay your dues before you get respect.

Sounds like shit, but thats what alot of studios in the US are like.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Oh I know. I don't actually expect to spend that much time behind the desk.

Coiling cables
Cleaning the cans
Sweeping the studio.


I know the drill.

But how kick-ass would it be if I could get some samples of the various shit they have (check there site it's a bad-ass studio).

 

[Torsis]

Spellcheck the resume.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Spellcheck the resume.

Of course.

And have it proofread etc.

I know my spelling sucks. :Smug:

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I got the internship. The studio is pretty badass.

 

[Djabthrash]

Congratulations dude !

 

[smy1]

Oooh yeah good idea.

But I ain't interning till the summer. I just wanted to get ahead of the other 25 students at CCC that are gonna be going for this kind of internship.

Congrats man! Interning at a studio can be a priceless learning experience, even if you wouldn't get to fiddle around with the equipment that much. Just observing the pros do their thing is good education
