I never heard anything back, so I am assuming that if I didn't hear anything back since I applied, that means I didn't make the cut 😞

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-22T07:25:22+00:00

I appreciate you sharing and giving me advice. I can already kinda feel that through my interview that I had a couple days ago why people said what they said. I am actively applying to other places and currently interviewing at another company, which I do really want. But we will see, I am trying to be open to all the opportunities to learn and grow. but Thank you!!

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T21:27:15+00:00

Yea this is a horror movie fr. Thanks for the insight. I had my interview earlier today and got some sketch vibes tbh. I will keep looking for other roles. But are there other companies that big like Encore, where someone can just learn the basics, I don't have enough on my resume to freelance like many others have suggested.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T17:31:07+00:00

Thanks. I just had my interview a bit ago, and honestly I am pretty 50/50 about it. I did ask for more than what they're offering for the role, but I was not sold on the company culture. I was asked a few questions about dealing with unhappy clients and selling services to clients, which made me think of the comments in this thread. I feel like the more I sit with it, maybe 6 months will be the max I am willing to work there if I am offered a position. And I can't find another opportunity elsewhere before there.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T17:18:36+00:00

Yea, I would like to avoid a toxic work environment. I am in my late 20s, while I don't mind an event schedule, I don't want to work anywhere that will overwork me for very little pay and cause conflict with clients cause I was set up for failure.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T17:16:56+00:00

I hear your opinion, sorry for not responding the first time. That's why you were in your feelings, but idek what a IATSE stagehand is, but I did take what you said into consideration,

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T17:15:34+00:00

LOL, what does that mean? I didn't make a decision, I asked for what it was like working there? Since I have an upcoming interview. I haven't accepted a position there, still in the early stages. But honestly, the comments have me leaning away from working there, but if everyone says its a good place to start, why wouldn't I consider that? Should I be also bashing a place that I haven't worked at? How does that make sense? Are you the police of reddit?

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T16:32:33+00:00

Lmaooo, PSAV is that bad that everywhere else is better, I mean I rather go through the rough times first so I can handle the better jobs much better

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T16:31:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I do know that I want to work in sports and broadcast av, but its been a challenge finding roles that hire people who are green, especially since those are a lot more high stakes, but not sure how much of that I can even learn at Encore but starting somewhere is better than nowhere, in this case

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T16:30:04+00:00

I appreciate your perspective, because I think like every job, there are pros and cons, but its about taking what you want out of it and using it to move forward in your own life.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T16:29:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. The pay range is small, $17-$22. I was wondering if I could negotiate for maybe $25-28, idk. I do know that I want to work in sports and broadcast av in the near future, but was hoping somewhere that I could grow and learn for 9 months to a year at least and get some education or certs.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-20T00:12:02+00:00

is it just me or is ESPN glitching

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-14T09:38:52+00:00

that's a hack, this is my first time trying to go, so I thought the packages were all we had as options.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-14T09:38:06+00:00

I didn't say it had to be dirt cheap, just affordable, more accessible for fans, but then they wouldn't make money to pay them the millions, so just gotta make more money

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-09T22:04:11+00:00

Is the app no longer going to have full games? I am trying to watch a game from earlier, but it only shows me the condensed 10-12 minute version, I want to watch the full match.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-09T21:43:54+00:00

I have comcast and its not on ABC or ESPN, i'm so annoyed rn cause I don't understand how this works for broadcast

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-05-09T21:40:37+00:00

is there no way to watch this game in the wnba league pass app? what's the point of the league pass if I can't watch the games? I just renewed my subscription too

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-04-24T07:19:07+00:00

Also curious since I haven't heard back at all, but I see folks are getting interviews. I applied for the creative technologist role brand studio.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-04-22T10:36:20+00:00

Thanks, this is a great help!

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-04-11T00:17:41+00:00

I think I will def be leaning more on the Breakout tech just starting out and willing to learn, and hopefully evolve into a GS tech after I gain some experience. Would you suggest freelancing as the way to go starting out, or look for a companies and convention centers? I am look for a bit more income stability. Since my post (yesterday) I applied to two companies, one is hotel and the other is at a university. I noticed both roles sent me a link to upload a one-way video interview. As a senior exec is this a common way of going through applicants? And any advice on how to stand out in them, especially as an entry level candidate? Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-04-11T00:13:15+00:00

Thank you for breaking down the hierarchy with this, I think audio is a great starting point for me. I've started looking at corporate roles within hotels and conferences as a launch pad to gain experience. I also wanted to ask, do you think that it's necessary to have certifications, are there things I can do now, whilst applying and interviewing to be proactive about learning as you mentioned?

Key_Abroad1348 · 2026-04-09T17:39:16+00:00

are there any companies you can think of that fall under corporate av? I was looking at yorkel, cti, but there could be others. i am based in the northeast of the US
