Miss Director

I now start my new adventure in event planning! My new job this semester is known as the best job on campus...I am the student director of Center Stage. The Center Stage Performing Arts Series features concerts and entertainment for BYU-Idaho students and residents of surrounding communities, including Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Jackson, Wyoming. Artists they've had in the past are....The Beach Boys, 1964 Beatles Tribute, David Archuletta, Paul Cardall, BYU Young Ambassadors and many more well knows artists!

Background on how I got this job...I was in the library designing a poster with a friend for an off campus event and this guy next to us asked if we were in the event planning class. I said I wasn't but that is what I want to go into and he explained that he did too and so we started chatting. He told me he had this job on campus being the director of the Center Stage events. I had previously just met the current director only a week or so before this so I was kind of familiar with the position. He told me it was paid and a lot of work but that they may be looking for applicants so I should apply.

The next day I took in my resume. I got a call a few hours later and set up an interview for the next day. The interview was very interesting. I wasn't sure if I still wanted the position and they said I would have to drop a few of the volunteer activities that I was currently part of. I was nervous about it, I stated what I can do and what I would like to do and left. That was Friday, and on Monday I received an email offering me the job. I took it! It has been a great adventure so far.

Principle #1: TALK TO EVERYONE. If I wouldn't have conversed with that guy and asked about the job or what he was doing, I would have never got this job. I have mentioned this before but NETWORKING IS KEY!
