Sound Engineer
HOW TO BECOME A SOUND ENGINEER ?
You would like to be, you are, a sound engineer.
Why will I hire you instead of somebody else?
By Stephane Meer, Head manager of Studio Capitale, Audio Post-Production company in Paris France.
For fifteen years now have I seen and interviewed young sound engineers, mostly out of school looking for a job.
Some of them can have their evaluation made in minutes, some take a few days, in all cases after a week we know if the challenger is a possible recruit or not.
What are the things to know?
First, what you learn in a school will at max be 50% of what you need to know.
Second, knowledge is important but the key is attitude.
Attitude toward a technical difficulty
Attitude toward the questions you should ask yourself
Attitude toward the company team
Attitude toward the customers.
