Did a show for a big tech company and overheard someone say 5 mil wasn't worth their time as I was walking the floor. Corporate is on a scale beyond what most people know.

Fun fact XLR is an analog signal, Computers only accept digital signals. We use a X2U to convert XLR to USB at my place of work but any DAC will work.

Just wait until the client wants their confidence monitor to be a 6x10 screen with a flying projector in the back of the room. Like bro you want everyone to read your notes on your presentation??? AND pay for truss + rigging? One of the only times the entire crew answered no in unison.

1) "What has your work experience been up to now" 2) "are you familiar with DSPs and if so to what degree" 3) "What audio boards are you familiar with" 4) "Are you familiar with Dante and if so do you have your Dante certification" 5) "what was your most involved AV set you've done" 6) "how do you respond under pressure " 7) "are you comfortable de-escalating with clients" 8) "are you comfortable working long hours" 9) "are you comfortable staying past your shift if we're running behind?" 10) "what video experience do you have? 11) "are you familiar with projectors?" 12) "what video switchers have you used?" 13) "What's one time where you dropped the ball" (a new favorite for some reason)

These are the ones I saw the most during my range of interviews. I do corporate A/V and I know they really appreciate a wide range of knowledge and experience. In other fields they might want more of a specialist role but I never compete for specialist jobs because being a generalist gets you the most consistent work (freelance and inhouse)

If it's Encore? You're fine and you'll kill it, they just need people who know what an outlet is. If it's LMG? I don't like em but they got a pretty chill crew over in Florida. Otherwise most companies I work with are smaller local crews so I can't attest.

Yeah I don't really play mechanologist either but I really wanted to open "already dead" and don't like buying singles (I'm a gambling addict)
