The people I have met through working at Live Nation have inspired me to further my education in the music industry. I felt supported by my colleagues and administration to exceed and use my individual assets to contribute to the overall company.

What I liked
Great experience. Cool and different job opportunity.
What I wish was different
I had to commute for my position and it was incredibly expensive and tiring. I wish there were a way for Cal Poly to connect with other schools to have us stay in the dorms and vise versa.
Advice
Make a good impression on everyone. I networked with everyone on tour and will meet these people again since the music industry is small.

Video Network College Associate
May - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
It was an incredible and invaluable learning experience. It was a hands-on job with a lot of personal responsibilities and tasks. I was given my own personal projects and was treated as an equal amongst my team. They offered informational sessions with the heads of each department throughout Live Nation - there they described their personal journey that led them to where they are, what they currently do, how they impact Live Nation, and answered questions. They offered tickets to events in the area that were sponsored by Live Nation or provided by TicketMaster (owned by LN). We were given the opportunity to work an amphitheater show at Jones Beach. The College Associates worked in groups for an ongoing project - a 360 marketing plan for the company and a prospective partner - throughout the summer that we presented to the President of Live Nation and other members from the company. I learned a great deal about my department as well as the company as a whole and live entertainment.
What I wish was different
Nothing. This was a great experience.
Advice
Do not hesitate to ask questions. Everyone in this industry wants to help students learn and grow. Ask inquisitive questions and know who you are speaking to. If you have a question for someone specific, go out of your way to contact them and set up a meeting. However, do no waste their time - do your research and plan.

Guest Ambassador
May 2018 • Mansfield, MA
What I liked
The interaction with guests and different crowds. I basically acted as an extension of guest services. I also was able to watch many live concerts this summer. I loved that every day was a different experience, and I was constantly busy.
What I wish was different
Maybe the hours! Often times I would not get out of work until midnight, and could work long days.
Advice
Probably not to stress about having an internship. Summer jobs can be great experiences as well, and still provide a lot of learning opportunities and be fun!

What I liked
It was a good work environment, management was always reachable and helpful. Plenty of hours to work and multiple different types of jobs to work, made for a fun and interesting summer.
What I wish was different
Since work through dinner time providing dinner options or even a free meal while on break would be nice, sometimes we would get food but not always. Wasn't always communicated when we would get food so not always sure when to bring in stuff from home. Other then that work was great!
Advice
Make sure you're willing to work the odd-hour schedule that typically starts at 4-5 in the afternoon to about midnight.

Brand Ambassador
August - September 2021 • Chula Vista, CA
What I liked
I liked the being able to use interpersonal skills with over 15,000 people per concert. Having the opportunity to ask questions and make sure every audience member enjoyed their experience! I also really appreciated how the Managers would take safety measures with COVID-19 in mind. Every worker had to get tested for covid or do a health screening so that we were not exposed.
What I wish was different
Advice
If you apply here, be ready to have different interactions with audience members and remember that it is for their experience!

The staff was incredible, and everyone in the office was very encouraging. It was easy to approach and ask questions. I had lots of work to do that felt very important- no busy work.

I wish they offered me a full-time job haha. I understand there were no open opportunities, and I know I can't control that.

Definitely take advantage of the people that are in the office with you. Go up to them ask them for coffee, learn from them!
