I mentored other younger assistants. I started this blog while temping/job hunting and I was allowed to write or do personal side projects as long as it was not interfering with my work.

While on a job interview not too long ago, I was asked how I ended up working for everyone I have and how I got started in the industry. I've found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency. It has allowed me to be in the entertainment industry for almost 9 years now. My first answer was, "No nepotism here!"
