Hey, I got one of those jobs, finally. I'm an office assistant/runner at an audio post facility that restores old soundtracks and mixes new ones. It's pretty cool, but it's only part-time, making me half-employed. Hopefully, I will find another part-time job soon, or maybe get promoted at some point to a full-time position.
They also gave me a company iPhone, which was a nice surprise since a) they didn't tell me that in the interview, and b) I didn't know companies still did that in the entertainment industry. Usually, people just expect PA's and/or assistants to magically have smartphones so they can use the internet to make their countless runs to various places around Los Angeles County. Everyone can afford a smartphone, right? Especially someone entry-level? Sure. But no, this company had the foresight to give me a smartphone because it's not fair to ask someone to spend his/her own money on a 3- or 4G data plan because it's vital to his/her job. Plus, I think they just had an old iPhone laying around, but still. The fact that they even had a spare company phone to begin with really says something.
Oh, and if you're wondering, I already beat Angry Birds, but now I'm working on getting higher scores. I want those three stars, damn it!
