Work in Entertainment

Zach Perlinski is one such person, leveraging his experience in college to land a production assistant job with Harpo Studios despite competing against other applicants with much more experience. “A week went by after my initial interview and I didn’t hear a word,” remembers Perlinski. “Finally, I received a follow-up call and they were still deciding. They were a bit worried that I didn’t have enough paid work experience, but I relentlessly pushed hard for big opportunities while at Ball State University so I could land a great job like this.”
