[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 91960, member: 277"] Re: Employer fair play or foul? Ok Lisa, Here is the very best advice I can give you or anyone else. No matter what anyone else in this world does you still should always be at your excellence. This means ALWAYS being at your very best including attitude, dress, behavior, and punctuality. NO EXCEPTIONS! Excuses are for losers and slackers. These are very easy habits to have if you make them important. I was once told by a friend of mine who is a doctor, "No matter where I am or what I am doing, I am always a doctor." For that reason she always held herself to a very high standard. Things happen in life that are beyond your control but what is in your control is a phone. If you ever have a problem getting to a gig on time make the phone call to the person in charge as soon as you see that you are going to run behind, not one minute until you are supposed to be there. This is just one example. I also understand that particular job is "not as good as it might be" to say the least. Forget the circumstances of the job. Consider it and any other gig, no matter how small, as another opportunity to define who the professional sound engineer Lisa Lane-Collins is. Decide who you are as an engineer and be that person. No ifs ands or buts. NO EXCEPTIONS. Especially in those circumstances "You are always an engineer." I truly expect to see great things from you both now and in the future, that is why I am taking the time to write this. There are people who get in this industry for many different reasons but the ones who stay and excel typically have a few things in common. Professionalism is one of the main ones. We all use our real names on this forum for several good reasons. Accountability is one of the main ones. This is a very small community and we hold ourselves to a very high standard. Another thing is we all have fun. We get paid to listen to bands and our opinion really counts, after all we are in control of all the knobs and faders:) [/QUOTE]
