Nashville Public Television

Production Assistant Intern

June - August 2019 • Nashville, TN

What I liked

I loved being in the thick of production -- working with the subjects, adjusting lighting, and checking sound amongst the filming.

What I wish was different

I wish that I'd been given more responsibility. Everyone does their job there very well, so more often than not my work would be assisting in whatever way they needed.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions to clarify what is being asked of you. More than once, I assumed what my boss was asking me to do when she had envisioned me completing a task in an entirely different way. So, it all comes down to communication and asking questions that help your employer relay to you what they're thinking.

Intern

September 2017 • Nashville, TN

What I liked

The best part of this internship is the variety of work. You get a lot of different experience with all kinds of jobs in almost every area of production.

What I wish was different

Advice

You're way more competent than you think you are. Everyone is super willing to help you learn the ropes and give you responsibility. If you put a lot into it, you'll get a lot out of it.
