Why I would make a good AP

Right, before I even start I should say that AP == Assistant Producer. As my interview is at 5:00pm this afternoon I thought I might try and see what pros and cons I have in regards to being an AP. And also to try and get mentally prepared for the questions they ask me. So here goes.

The main reason why I feel that I am ready to become an Assistant Producer is mainly because I don’t believe that I am learning anything new in the position that I am currently in. Being a Junior Night Shift QA Tester doesn’t afford many challenges except for time management, and even that isn’t that difficult to do. After the first 3 to 6 months of being a junior tester there really isn’t much more you could learn. Unless you become a QA Lead or a QA Manager, neither of these being a viable option in my current situation. Being in QA has taught me many things such as identifying issues, dealing with them in the appropriate way and gelling with the rest of the QA night team. A lot of this requires teamwork.

Originally I had wanted to become a Designer, don’t get me wrong, I still do. But after not getting that position I had begun to wonder why I was pigeon holing myself to this one position. Why not try and branch out. Surely there is something else that I could apply my current skill set to. Admittedly after not getting the designer position left me somewhat disliking what I did. I knew that I could become something more than a QA tester. I also understand that without QA the project would be delayed and the finished product would probably be akin to ass.

Becoming part of the production team as an assistant to the producer would open my eyes even further and would allow me to learn even more skills to further my career and to achieve my goals. With the additional responsibilities which come with the AP position I believe that I have the ability to not only put the required amount of work in, but to do whatever is necessary to ensure the quality and standards of the team are met and then some.

Like any new job, it takes a little time for the new employee to settle into the new position. If I get the job I will put in whatever time is required to familiarise myself with the tools and protocols used by the production time in order to settle in faster.

Basically: Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me Hire me .

Why: Because I need it. I need to move up. I need to get out of QA. I need to be challenged in a new job. I need something where the work that i do isn’t repeated night after night after night. I need a job where people higher up at us don’t look down on. I need a job where HR doesn’t shit all over us.

When: ASAP plx

That is all

Good news soon people … hopefully

Stay funky fresh
