Employment / Re: Job/Gig searching in the new economy

« on: May 15, 2009, 04:41 pm »

Is it just me or are a lot of companies that used to hire non-equity assistant stage managers opting to hire interns instead? I am taking a risk right now by not taking internships or PA jobs anymore because I want to move forward in my career in spite of the poor timing. Presently, I am working outside of the industry and am constantly job searching for positions that are on the next rung of the employment ladder. But with the scarcity of non-union ASM positions, it's getting harder and harder to determine whether or not I'm reaching too far when I apply for non-eq SM positions at non-union theatres.

Has anyone ever attended the Entertainment Industry Expo? I read about it on Playbill and took a look at the website: http://eienyc.com/. This is the first I've heard about it, but then I'm still new to the business.
