The Hardline / To Go Union or Not to Go Union
« on: Nov 03, 2004, 08:19 pm »
I am going to finally be graduating this April and am facing the big question... now what do I do with my life? The good news is that I have some options:
Right now I am facing the question - Do I go Union now or wait? I have a great relationship with a regional theatre who would give me an equity contract if I smiled and winked at them. That contract would be from May - October 2005.
However, I am planning a visit to NYC in April to also test the job market there. I am hoping to send out some resumes beforehand and maybe get some interviews while I am there. I figured my best chances right out of college would be for non-union tours or something like that.
So I guess my real question is - do I go union and then try NYC or do I try NYC while non-union?
Anyone have any pointers about that timing or getting a job in the city?
