Video Interview Transcript
My name is Dee Lakhan and I am movie coordinator for Sky Box Office.
There is no such thing as a normal day at Sky because it is a creative industry; before you know it someone will want something done, some sort of data or analysis supply, or some deal has been signed at the last minute, so there is some of that type of work at the last minute. But we get to screenings of new movies that have not been released in the cinema yet, so if you like movies ...
The best thing about working at Sky are the opportunities you have here, not only to move up the career ladder, but also to move sideways. So you can move into something like movies production, you can produce things, you can become an editor, you can move anywhere you want. I was actually only supposed to be here for six months and I have been here for almost six years now.
I actually came in from a banking background, so nothing to do with the media industry at all. So I think that goes to prove you do not necessarily need to have a media degree - there is always opportunity here for you at Sky, whatever your aim or your background.
