So, I got to work for Will Smith for a hot second between jobs!
Sadly, I never got to meet Will himself. (I’ve loved him forever, even doing a report on him in elementary school where my dad brought happy meals for everyone because his favorite foods were in happy meals.)
I did get to see his YouTube subscriber plaques, which were cool.
Basically, he has that company Westbrook and I got to go make some of their social videos. They asked if I wanted to come back for more. Sadly, I was employed doing something else. So, I could only do my original ‘fill-in’ time and nothing more. But I’d love to go back, should the opportunity present itself.
It was VERY far away haha. But there was a commuter bus that went there, which was nice.
Something I found absolutely hilarious happened
When giving the assignment to the person next to me – who was also on his first day – they told him to incorporate some Will Smith music. And he was like “Will Smith does MUSIC?!”
It was SO funny to me. I guess younger people wouldn’t know him as a musician. But also, if you’re gonna work for super famous Will Smith, I’d think you’d maybe just check out the wikipedia page real fast to get a sense of what was up.
But, then again, if you think you already know the gist of super famous Will Smith, maybe you don’t feel you need to look him up.
There were things they’d done on YouTube that I wasn’t familiar with either. So, we all have blind spots!
Anyway, fun day, fun time. Cool experience!
They invited me back, and I would’ve loved to go back. But it was just a day-to-day thing that I didn’t know how long it would last. So, I took a longer-term job instead. I would’ve done them both, but the Will Smith job was too far away to be able to work two jobs at once while working there.
Alas, maybe more another time, which would be nice!
