-: When you think about what you do in that position,
and you'd asked me about the job
and doing the things in the job,
it's a job where there are no limitations.
You can do, you have to do all kinds of things.
But the important thing is you need to write well.
Because what you write is very important.
You write program notes,
You do press releases,
and when you do press releases you very often
are writing the whole article
for somebody and just send them.
The easier you make it for the press,
the more publicity you're gonna get.
Communicating with people is very important.
Being so,
and public speaking is important.
So the theater was always,
was a very good,
it wasn't a side for me because it was a major,
but that was very important.
I had interns in my office.
I had students working in my office,
but you can volunteer.
I mean they're community organizations all over the place.
I do things now without being paid.
I do benefit concerts in my house for
I do something for the Global Medicine Department
and Danbury Hospital where I do
a chamber music concert in my house.
And people come and they listen to music
and then I give them dinner,
and we make a lot of money that way.
There are always volunteer things like that
that look really good on your resume.
When you're a student and you're volunteering,
you should always look at that as not just
giving someone your time and being exploited.
You should look at it as an investment
and where is this gonna help you in your future.
Because that's very important.
That's how I got my job at Yale
was because of all the things that I had done as a volunteer
before I came to West Conn,
and then got the education on top of that.
