Pro Staff opportunity - do i take it?

[Perch_44]

just this past week I was approached by Beretta, and asked to join their pro staff, and would have to work my first event next weekend at a local cabelas, for their great outdoor days.

now, this pays OK, get a decent discount, paid expenses, etc.

but, I really only want to do this, if it gives me an opportunity to possibly go somewhere in the industry.

anyone on the forum have any insight to this? Will this get me anywhere, or am I just another "workhorse" for them for events? Don't feel like giving up my weekends for a few extra bucks and that alone.

You can always quit if it isn't working out, right?

what's the opportunity cost? a few weekends in exchange for dollars? not the worst trade off in todays economy

to the heart of your question though - i htink you were getting at IF these gigs ever product opportunity up the food chain (?)... that i can't answer.

i've done worse for less...

Yes. This is a foot in hr's door, type position.

I have it on good authority that Shippy has higher standards than that. He held out for MD20/20.

night train? 20/20???

ametuer hour i assure you - unless you've used wild irish rose and a space bag of franzia as MIXERS then i'll ask you to most politely "step outta my grill"......


but anyways, back to the topic at hand, i'd take the opportunity and run with it for a bit. like 1911fan said, it's a foot in the door and these days it's 100% who you know and 110% who knows you

[Perch_44]

well, i'm going to give it a shot, and see how it goes!

If you don't want it give Beretta my number....

On a serious note, I'd be all over that if I had the time. I'd even become an instant Baretta fanboy. Good luck, I hope it works out well.

I like to think and hope that people get what they deserve. and if you work hard and are smart with your job, you will be noticed. This goes for any job anywhere! Except for Union jobs
