>> The biggest challenge is definitely knowing people.
People ask me all the time, how did you get that first job?
And looking back it's crazy because I'm, like, I guess I got really lucky at the time.
I didn't realize it.
It's all about networking.
I mean, everyone says that in any industry, but it's so important in entertainment.
Everyone is the daughter, son, or cousin, or cousin twice removed,
of someone who's super influential.
And when I was graduating I knew that is what I wanted to do.
I knew I wanted to go out to L.A. So I just went through LinkedIn, went through Facebook,
went through everything I could to find any connection I could.
I contacted old professors at Pitt.
I reached out to old acquaintances who I'd met, like, once.
And eventually it worked out and I got an interview.
All you need is the interview.
Once you get the interview then you should be good to go.
