I Got Fired.

That sucks, man. I'm sorry that happened. Maybe this is what you need to kick you in the ass and start promoting yourself so that you can make a living shooting video. I wish you the best.
 
Give yourself a chance to feel sorry for yourself, then get over it and get back
out there. The world will miss you if you don't.

Thanks

Thanks

At least there is some one out there I can count on to listen. The great people at DVXUSER.COM.

Thanks for your comments. I will take them to heart. You are all right.
Maybe this is meant to be. IF i GET so busy doing video, I will give you all a call and offer you a paying job.

Thanks for all your support and wonderful comments. I needed them.

Time to get that Website built and business cards printed.
Just as soon as I get over this hangover. HEHEH

Thanks again!
 
Ouch, that sucks. Just keep getting your demo reel out there. And you could always hit Craigslist for work.

But for now... :beer:
 
oh no the exec. producer wanted someone w/ 2-5 food background. he looked @ the resume and said i wouldn't want the position. instead he gave me his card & cell #; told me to call him. wanted me to come work on projects for him. so i kinda got something better than a job! :)

Thank you ALL for your wonderful support.

I'm really upset wondering how I'm going to support my wife and pay the bills.
But all of you really helped me see something past the bad. And that is this may be something really GOOD!

I can assure you that you will be on my list when I need paid help! And not the jerks that fired me for a faulse reason! I was the honest, upfront guy. And they didn't like a Whistle blower. And my manager fired me for going to Human Resources about issues. I was a threat to him.

If I did something wrong I would admit it. I'm an open, honest guy. But I did nothing wrong.

But thank you again, every one of you for your kind words and encouragement.

I need to hear it right now.
 
That really sucks man. I know the feeling of being fired, which turned out to be a good thing, I started freelancing more and more and now 4 years later ..................that's all I do.

hang in there!


and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hang in there.

Man, I got laid off of my office job over 6 months ago, it appears that they now want me back. I'd politely tell them to consume their own genitalia, but I won't turn down pay under the table.
 
Berg...sorry to hear about that. That's a good chuck of money that you're gonna be doing without. I've been through some times like that...amazingly, you'll adapt to having less money at hand, and you'll become very resourceful. Like others have said, sometimes bad things turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Over the past year I started picking up a few freelance gigs here and there (contacts!!!), and ended up quitting my f/t job to take a leap of faith into being on my own. So far, I'm ahead of the game...busy as can be, but all the happier for it.

I say make a decision to do something with your production talents. Make a list of your contact resources and get on the horn and let them know about your situation. Call up some local sports teams and see if they have any freelance opportunities (that's how I got started, and I made dozens of contacts through that). Think of any friends/family that has a small business, and talk to them about promoting themselves with video. You might be doing some work for little or know money, but this biz is all about who you know and what you can do. And since you have some 'time on your hands' now, I say get out and get some work done...the money will come.

If you need any more of my sage-like wisdom, let me know.
 
Man that sucks big time.............

My Blue Collar Job Contract has been Terminated last Friday !

It went something like this:



Human Resource Officer:

"Anhar, I need to inform you that due to drop in the production load, you will not need to come in for next week"

Me:

"Ok, so I'll be on for the Week after?"

Human Resource Officer:

"Well, we would not need you for that week either, basically we will call you, since you may be needed next week."

Me:

"Sure, Erm, since I have to commute from quite a distance away, would it be possible that you could let me know in advanced if I'm required so that I can make suitable arrangements?"

Human Resource Officer:

"Look, let me put it this way, JUST assume you are NOT required, IF you are required we'll call YOU"


END

Damn back to Job hunting :/
