Interview Highlights
“Some of these places didn’t even have formal intern programs, but by being persistent and by reaching out and by letting them know how passionate I was — a guy with no experience other than a summer at Burger King — I was able to get experience.”
Best Career Advice
“Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself.”
Career Challenge
“I’ve talked a lot about working at Lucasfilm, but to be honest, there were times there that I felt like I was coasting. And I was just in what some people call like a velvet prison, where this is a great job and I can’t believe I have this job, but I’m not challenging myself. I’m not feeling challenged. So I made a difficult decision to leave that place because it was comfortable.”
