Yesterday, at PNC Park, the Interactive Multimedia Workshop interviewed Dan Hart.
The first thing we talked about was the crazy schedule that Pirates Players and other behind-the-scenes team members have. Dan Hart said that he “is never really home for the Fourth of July”.
He said that he sometimes has to be there early in the morning and stay until super late at night. He has to be there at all times but every year, just before he has to be at work all day, every day, he goes on vacation. He goes through the motions of working with these people and he never complains because he loves his job.
He talked a lot about his interns and all of the things that he has them do. He told us about all of his and their tasks and how they always have deadlines.
He spoke very highly of everyone who works with him and the entire team behind-the-scenes of the Pirates.
We talked about the social media/ press and his background.
He told us that when he was a young adult, he applied for an internship there, and he didn’t get it. But later on in life, he got the real job, and met the guy who beat him over for the internship. He told us about how anyone and everyone who gets a job or internship there, always is very successful in their lives later on.
