For lack of a better intoduction, “Hi! I’m Mike!” I just recently got the extraordinary opportunity to work with Sixthman as a freelance Production Assistant. I’ve been working as a Production Assistant for the past 4 years in Atlanta. I’m sure you’re asking, what exactly does a Production Assistant do? Well, here’s a little bit about my biz-nass! (business).
I work on set of TV commercials, movies, documentaries, and the occasional music video. It’s pretty fun. You’re always at new locations, meeting new people, and getting to be your own boss. Not bad. Why does it sound like I’m not that excited about a job that I dedicated 4 years of my life to? Because of Sixthman! This company has totally rocked my world!
About two months ago I hot hired to work on my first Sixthman cruise. I’ve been hooked ever since. Not only does the job description allow you to be on a cruise ship among some of the best musicians in the world, but it also brings you into a community of people that is like no other. I mean this in two ways: First, it’s the guests onboard the ships. Its hard not to become friends with just about everyone. It’s like having hundreds and hundreds of next door neighbors (the friendly, welcoming, good next door neighbors that is). It’s just an awesome community feeling! Second, is the company culture of Sixthman. What a great place to work! It feels like being at home away from home. These aren’t just co-workers, they’re friends. People that I’ve known for such a short time so far, but still don’t hesitate to call them friends.
If you haven’t noticed by how this story is going, I now work for Sixthman full-time. I love it, love it, love it, love it! I’m new, but super excited about becoming a regular and seeing familiar faces on all of the ships.
