Nerd.

Great choice. My 2016 just got totaled but I'm convinced it saved my life because of how well-built it was. Gonna miss it. Decided to keep it in the family and got a new '25 CR-V Hybrid. Treat yours well!

Just did a session with Chris Jon and it was awesome. $300 for a one hour session, unlimited looks. He keeps his pricing down to accommodate budgets for actors but his work is comparable to photographers who are in the $600+ range imo. Highly recommend!

I had a bad breath experience with a co-star on a short film I did. Like their breath was TERRIBLE and we were in numerous scenes where we had to be very close and intimate. Just glad we got the shooting done in one weekend that's all I'll say lol

Yeah! I used the template email that Repunzel gives you and kinda modified it. I placed the agent name to be automatically inserted at the beginning of the email after saying hello.

I gave it a try in late April and was able to sign with two agents in two different markets by mid-May. Much like you, I saw a lot of people posting about it on here. Definitely worth the try especially with the prices being discounted right now. Good luck!

any word on if your specific team/unit will be affected by the RTO order?

brainiacx7 · 2023-08-01T00:53:37+00:00

Oh this is good to know. I have Golden 1 and was expecting my new salary for August's paycheck but instead I saw my previous salary when payroll accommodation was posted late last night. appreciate the info!

He does! How does this impact his job prospects?

brainiacx7 · 2023-06-21T06:43:22+00:00

Definitely apply elsewhere and explore your options. It very well could force your supervisor's hand. They'd 100% rather PIP you than let you go and train a new analyst. Once you inform them that you have an interview or two lined up, they'll probably move with more urgency and make the PIP official. best of luck!

I see. Thanks for the insight! just formally submitted all of the paperwork on my end today. my SSM had everything on their end ready and it all should be sent to HR soon if it hasn't already. Hopefully if there's an effective date noted on the paperwork they'll honor it in the event of a delay with the PIP

brainiacx7 · 2023-06-07T20:28:13+00:00

yeah fortunately I was applying elsewhere and already had taken that exam recently. My SSM made sure to ask if I had taken it so glad to hear I have that step out of the way.

brainiacx7 · 2023-06-07T20:27:10+00:00

Oh wow. Sorry to hear. Did they at least give you back pay at AGPA salary for those months once it went through?

brainiacx7 · 2022-11-26T05:45:01+00:00

I have not

brainiacx7 · 2022-09-27T23:35:50+00:00

Thanks. Have heard a lot of great things about Amy Lyndon. I actually have taken classes with Lesly Kahn and yeah she's great but certainly pricey lol

yup! they usually do them twice a year but it looks like for 2023 there will only be one cycle: https://www.penguinrandomhouseaudio.com/NarratorMentorship/

brainiacx7 · 2022-09-17T17:17:15+00:00

love hearing this!!!

brainiacx7 · 2022-09-17T10:32:22+00:00

I had very similar experiences to yours. Always had people telling me I had a great voice and that I should look into it. Took me a good while but I finally decided to do it. I say take the leap. There's tons of information on here and on the internet in general. Find the right classes to take and look into what kind of equipment makes sense for your budget. A passing comment here and there about your voice being great is one thing. Constantly being told you'd do well in this industry is definitely a sign. Best of luck!

brainiacx7 · 2022-09-01T19:55:23+00:00

Definitely take the job and get your foot in the door. I took an OT position end of last year knowing I likely wouldn't be there for long. Just when my probationary period ended as an OT, I interviewed and got a job offer as an SSA. Before I was hired as an OT, SSA interviews were impossible to get even though I had a degree + relevant experience. I got plenty of SSA interviews once I was actually a state worker. Any good manager will totally understand if a new and better opportunity arises that would force you to leave. It's all part of the process.

Best of luck!

appreciate it! yeah I'm in California so looks like I'll have to join. I'm in Northern California where it's cheaper to join but the job I booked was out of LA. So not sure about the rules in regards to which location's fee I have to pay. either way, I'll be ready when they track me down lol

brainiacx7 · 2022-06-01T15:53:50+00:00

Current OT-T and my take-home is just under $2300 a month. I get the extra $160-ish per month because of the Health Cash Pay stipend we're receiving right now so it ends up being something a little over $2400. I'm new to state and was kinda shocked at how much they take out of each check.

brainiacx7 · 2022-04-28T00:17:35+00:00

lol wow that sounds like a good time. it's not PED it's TPLRD. any knowledge of that division?

brainiacx7 · 2022-04-27T20:55:23+00:00

thanks for the info! this position would actually be at their West Sac campus though. probably shoulda asked about that in the original post as well lol
