A Bit of Background: I'm a 17 year old Senior in High School that is looking to go to school in the area around Local 13 for college. While I'm well aware I won't be getting any calls for awhile because 1. I wont turn 18 till march and 2. They have no idea I exist. I still wanted to find out more on how the Locals work and more Specifically Local 13.
So far I've read;
the Summer Stock thread.
The Landing a Job in the Industry Thread.
The College Education Thread.
Each of them have given me plenty of information but none have given me a clear understanding of how IATSE works and how I can start doing jobs with the Local. So here are my questions:
1. Where do I go to get more involved with my Local (Local 13), their website doesn't give any clear guidelines on how to start.
2. If I even get on a call, what should I expect? Of course long hours and grueling work, but should I be ready for anything else?
3. What courses or qualifications look good in the eyes of IASTE, I already hold an OSHA 10 in General Industries ( we all have to start somewhere, right?) But I what else can I do to not only improve my chances of getting a call, but to make sure I'm doing things correctly and safely while I'm on a call?
Thanks in advanced, - Joe
