HOW DID YOU GET THAT JOB?
Name Rachel Nanson
Job title Production Assistant/ Casting Director Company Mallinson Television Productions
When did you start your job? September 2011
So what does your job actually involve? My tasks are pretty diverse as there are many stages of television production, and I tend to dabble in a few of them, from helping to pitch directors for ads, to assisting organisation of shoots but I mainly focus on casting (auditioning actors / models / people on the streets of Glasgow).
Best / Worst aspects? Best thing: It’s lovely to be involved in the progression of making something from start to finish. You meet all kinds of interesting cast and crew members from a manner of backgrounds who play their part in bringing it all together. Worst thing: A lot of people think working in the media is dead racy and glam. It’s often more odd than anything else; you find yourself in bizarre settings doing ridiculous things. Today, I ironed a sofa chair. Looking back, what advice would you give to a young Rachel at the start of her career? Legally obtain a driver’s license. Attempt to befriend people already working in the field. Join an extras agency: you might find yourself on set peeping in on life behind the scenes
And finally . . what has been your biggest achievement in 2013? I’m too modest to recall (!) but I did a smashing job of ironing that chair . . .
