Interviewing Myself by Pegalomania

I thought it would be fun to interview myself so here goes!

The questions are from Monster's website written up by a Monster Staff Writer.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: Tell me about yourself. 

MOLLOY: I hold a Masters of Science degree with Full Sail University in Business Entertainment. I am a member of the American Society of Composer, Authors & Producers (ASCAP).

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: What are your strengths?

MOLLOY: I am resourceful, independent, artistic and brave.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: What are your weaknesses?

MOLLOY: I get bored easily and I enjoy talking too much.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER:  Why do you want this job?

MOLLOY:  I want to work with others on projects that enlighten & educate via the visual & performing arts. The strength of our society is its ability to problem solve and create new technologies and artistic methods, currently, we are having a digital renaissance in the film and music industries.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: Where would you like to be in your career five years from now?

MOLLOY: Producing operas & ballets, creating special events for charities, embarking on my efforts as a philanthropist. I highly value the individual voice, and treasure the live performing skills some people are blessed to have. The arts are our ancient global language.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: What's your ideal company?

MOLLOY: Being an entrepreneur since I was a child, I plan to begin marketing the arts online. In my youth, which I lost to the ballet studio...I spent a summer with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, as a "dancer-on-the-green". In retrospect, I can say it was a great experience and I met such wonderful, talented people.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: What did you like least about your last job?

MOLLOY: My last "real job" (I currently have two part-time jobs) was tedious in that I was being micro-managed. I recall stating that "I manage myself" when it was disclosed that there was no acting manager. There was the owner, a busy-body, then they would gossip with the rest of the staff. Gossip is so damaging to any business, & can be toxic to workers.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: If I were your supervisor and asked you to do something that you disagreed with, what would you do?

MOLLOY: I would perform the task requested, then politely speak directly with my supervisor behind closed doors. 

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: How do you respond to romance on the job?

MOLLOY: I abhor this new "friends with benefits" routine. Never fish off the company dock. In sum, I am very square, particularly about married co-workers. I try to maintain healthy, polite working relationships with co-workers & clients.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: Why did you not pursue a musical career?

MOLLOY: I found the music industry environment very sexist. I hope this is changing. I plan to use basic composition programs on an electric piano to get the first layer of sound out. I will need to hire an audio wizard person, so much of the material is from decades ago.

ROLE OF HEADHUNTER: Do you think your state of chosen isolation helped contribute to your musical & lyrics composition efforts?

MOLLOY: My songs came out all at once in the middle of the night, forgive me, like a burp. It was totally involuntary. It began when I was living in Montreal, Quebec in a former Lord's manor, then a convent with quarters for out-of-town girls. I was studying dance at the time. We were also being given piano lessons as part of our dance teacher curriculum. There was a piano in a small library above the chapel. "Singing With Myself" is how I describe my studio work creating my own songworks in the 70's. 

MeeMeeMee (shown) reflects the many faces of Peg. I cannot read or write music so the only way to archive the songs was to sing them, then harmonize with myself.  I have participated in many choirs, but I learn auditorily, matching the pitch vocally and memorizing musical sequences. I love formal, classical choral works. The Requiem Mass in particular. I love the opera and once toured the northeast with the Opera Company of Boston. I love the classical ballet scores which I became familiar with in my dance training.

Having written a musical that is seeking production "Miss-Placed: The New York Years". I am switching from actual production to video creation, so I plan to illustrate the story & make up a very old fashioned silent film, I will use music as the backdrop.
