John spent three years as a producer for FSN West / FSN Prime Ticket in Los Angeles before leaving the field entirely to pursue a career in law.

I held every ATVN position except Director.

I considered myself thoroughly overqualified for my job from the beginning.  ATVN’s preparation for all aspects of my job was thorough and unparalleled.

Do everything as though it’s going on your resume reel… strive to make everything PERFECT.  ATVN is very valuable experience - don’t waste a minute by not giving something your full attention and effort.

The most important thing?  Probably how quickly time passes your first couple years out of college.  Don’t worry about the personal circumstances of your first job… find the work environment that fits you best.  You’ll be surprised how quickly you look back and think “man, I graduated THREE years ago?  Unbelievable.”
