Your Experience Doesn’t Matter If You’re an Asshole.

Your Experience Doesn’t Matter If You’re an Asshole.

We all know this is true.
You can have the biggest resume.
The biggest tour.
The most credits.
The fanciest title.
And still be the person people quietly hope doesn’t come back.

Want to know if you’re actually good to work with?
Ask yourself this:
When you walk into a room, do people relax or tense up?
Do locals feel respected or talked down to?
Do people feel safe asking questions or scared of getting snapped at?
When things go wrong, do you stay steady or look for someone to blame?
Do people feel lighter working with you or heavier?

Because here’s what people really remember:
They remember how you treated local crew.
They remember how you spoke when things went sideways.
They remember whether you had patience, grace, and awareness or just authority.
They remember whether you took responsibility or passed blame.
They remember how it felt to work with you.

Skill might get you in the door.
But attitude decides whether you stay in the room and whether you get the next call.

And the truth no one likes to say out loud?
Most crews would rather work with someone solid and kind than someone brilliant and unbearable.
Every time.

Be honest — what makes someone instantly great to work with on your crew?
