People in the Reno-Sparks, Nevada Metropolitan Area (United States)

I do well now and I am the primary bread winner of the household. I need to gross between 4 and 5 thousand to make sure the bills are paid.

Although Nevada is a "Right to work" state, Always challenge a decision made on whether your eligible for unemployment benefits or not. Most employers will stand concrete and enforce the "right to work state." Personally, this statement means nothing else than a legal right to be prejudice and bias against you.

A Right to work State says that the employer can fire you for ANY reason at ANY time. I have challenged this many times over and have been awarded my benefits as decided by a mediation judge from the unemployment department.

Make sure that you DOCUMENT EVERYTHING that ever happened to you leading up to the termination. If you were given an employee handbook, go through it with a fine tooth comb, line by line and highlite any information you find that pertains to you being terminated. If you were terminated because someone claims that they saw you do something you didn't, find out in the handbook what the penalties are if that person did not come forward with the information immediately. Ask about witnesses. If there are not any witnesses and the employer is just trying to have you beleive that they do, have them produce the witness. Otherwise, it is all hearsay and the decision will be turned in your favor. MOST IMPROTANTLY, DO NOT EVER LET THE STATEMENT OF THIS IS A "RIGHT TO WORK STATE" SCARE YOU OFF FROM FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS!!!

You may be in a "Right to Work State," however, no one has the power to violate your CIVIL Rights.

Be honest with what you know, but don't shoot out a bunch of terms and acronyms. People are still people and they are mostly looking for that perfect fit in addition to wanting your knowledge. The term "production artist" is sometimes confused with a graphic designer. A PA is more technically savvy, while the graphic artist is more design savvy. However, a PA knows what good design looks like. Most PAs are compiled of teams and being a team player is very important a degree more than knowing your stuff. You have to sell yourself as ready to work in a group, since that's how things get done.
