I'm here!

Hi everyone,

I was getting in contact with the oh-so-wonderful MSU Mafia because I have moved out and settled into a comy little apartment in Thousand Oaks. Problem is, my current job isn't exactly what I want to be doing. I have an office job with little outside world contact and no windows! Can anyone help me?! I need contacts...especially if you know of any part time jobs available. ( I still have to pay rent, so unless it's a really good paying entry-level job, har, har, then I'll still need to hold two jobs.)

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Moving to Malibu

msuangie — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 00:30:54 GMT

Hey everyone,

I'm graduating in May and moving to Malibu mid-August (my soon-to-be-husband was recently accepted to the Psychology graduate program at Pepperdine). What do I need to know before coming out there? Best way to find a job? Items I can't survive in LA without? I'd like to start looking for jobs before arriving so I don't have too much unemployed time.

LETS GET SOMETHING ROLLING HERE...

Any MSUers working in film? How about TV? Burger King? Anyone working the corner of Hollywood and Vine?

Me? I am into TV. Heading back to Montana real soon for a little R&R. Haven't been back in two years.

Whos out there? What's the department like these days?
Anyone heard from Taylor Fitzgerald?

Living in LA now

Julie — Sun, 11 Jul 2004 19:51:05 GMT

Hey all,

I came down here to Los Angeles over spring break in Monaco's class. I met Brian and Matt at Blind Date, and wanted to thank you guys for letting us see where you work and helping us to realize that we can make it in LA. I moved here at the end of May and am working at Technicolor now with my Dad and some other family members. Right now I am doing projection and am having a good time working in the industry. I have recently made my 30 days to get into the union and am in the process of joining. I am realizing that being in a union has its good and bad points, but so far I think it will be for the better. I just wanted to let you all know that I am down here and am willing to help out where I can. At this point I am really interested in editing and am considering taking some Avid classes. I am living in the Burbank area now and if any of you are in the area we should meet up and hang out. My husband hasn't made it down here yet from Montana but is thinking about trying to get in at Dolby, do any of you know what they look for? Hope all is going well, and hope to hear from you.

How do you get started in LA?

Aaron — Thu, 08 Apr 2004 03:02:29 GMT

Hello everyone my name is Aaron Loyd and I'm currently a Junior at MSU. I'm anxiously looking forward to someday in the near future moving out to LA to start my career. I would like to ask everyone here for whatever advice you could offer me on how to begin.

I have been told that Burbank is a great place to live when you first arrive here.

I also am aware that it can take a few months to really get started. First you must find a job and then you must generally put up with a few months of being an unpaid intern/PA before you start receiving a paycheck.

What I need is advice on how to find a place to live, how to look for a job (through friends and contacts I know that much), how to find my way around and such.

I need to know how to get it all together so I can survive those first few rough months and start to build a real career.
