I'm struggling with Amber's employment history, so I took it from her Facebook page. I think I have a handle on it now. For 5 years she claimed she was a production technician and associate producer at a television station. My guess is that she was more of what is called a GOFER, since (a) she hasn't had a job in television since 2008, and (b) she apparently went straight from her job as a "producer" to
a sales clerk at a store in the mall. While there is
NOTHING wrong with working a retail job (or almost any other), her employment since her weighty job at a TV station indicates a lack of coherence. One does not go from an established career in broadcasting to assorted retail and customer servicing positions unless the broadcasting career wasn't all that weighty in the first place.
"Associate producer" is often not a position, but a STATUS on a specific project. For example, she may have done extra work on a particular segment, day, week, etc., for which she was given producer status as a thanks. There are many stories about people in Hollywood who, in lieu of a pay raise or as thanks for a romp in the sack, have received "producer" status.
Were she an actual "producer," she would have contacts in the broadcast industry who could help her with a job. That is a small community. Instead, she's fretting over what is to most people a little pocket money so she can get to another part of the country where she will, doubtless, scrape by doing nothing special, chasing what appears to be a middle-aged man who dresses and poses like a white suburban wannabe thug 18-year-old.
Odd.
