“Yes, we are in a pandemic right now for sure,” Fox said. “And have jobs been affected? For sure. But we are trying to be that much more hands-on with our alumni to make sure we’re bringing them the best opportunities, and all opportunities, that are out there in the workplace.” “Based on the pandemic, the majority of all my friends were just out of work, they couldn’t find any work whatsoever,” Konopasky said. “So it was a really, really nerve-racking situation.”The overall goal of First Jobs is to foster relationships within the entertainment industry, which is even more important in the current environment.
