1. What was the worst job you’ve ever done? What was the best?

Leslie Evans likes rollercoasters. Hates spiders.

The worst job I have ever done is….sorting fruit when I was young, my first job. It was the worst because of all the spiders - I HATE spiders!

The best job would have to be one I didn’t actually get paid for, so maybe that doesn’t count as a job. I was an assistant coach with a community Special Olympics swim team.

I got to wear the craziest hats I could find, and no matter what the day turned out to be, you were always certain there were happy people at the end!

2. What are the types of things you’re passionate about?

Smiles. Laughter. Seeing people accomplish something and the look on their face when they do it. Rollercoasters. Yes, definitely passionate about those!

3. What do you find most interesting about the One Week Job project?

The fact that someone is doing what everyone has always wanted to do. Trying things you would never in your right mind think you would enjoy, but trying anyway.

4. Why did you decide to donate toward the One Week Job film?

I donated to kick up my karma count! Joking!

I donated because if I can’t do it, why not help someone who can, someone who will have the ability to show young people its okay to search, really search, for the things you want to do in life.

It’s hard out there for young people (even older) to find a career they love, there is so much pressure to know from the time you hit high school that someone proving we all don’t know right away what we want to do is something worth giving to.

5. What do you hope to see represented in the film?

I hope to see choice represented. The choice to like or not like a job and celebrate in that choice.

1. What was the worst job you’ve ever done? What was the best?

Worst = data entry at a bank
Best = modeling Italian soccer jerseys in Thailand

2. What are the types of things you’re passionate about?

Trying out new things, traveling, having fun, and 1990 Burgundy Dodge Caravans.

3. What do you find most interesting about the One Week Job project?

Sean had to do something new each monday morning and he often had no idea what he’d be doing the next week even on the Sunday night. Triage decision making at its best.

Also, Sean’s hair.

4. Why did you decide to donate toward the One Week Job film?

Because I don’t want Sean and Ian to couchsurf at my house for the rest of their lives. Also, when I watch movies I usually eat popcorn. And popcorn is delicious.

5. What do you hope to see represented in the film?

Sean’s “can do” attitude. And by “can do” attitude, I mean drunken late night soul searching ramblings and extraordinary unexpected and unplanned daytime adventures. Also, film maker-subject tensions to increase ratings.

Sebastian Keller

1. What was the worst job you’ve ever done? What was the best?

Worst job: Working for a local TV station as an intern. Money was o.k., but I had to start at 8 a.m. (after commuting 1.5 hour), fight very stressful situations (10 minutes until my stuff should be on air and the computer constantly crashes…) and work on very silly material (as for example the local dog couture show).

Best job: Well it wasn’t really a job, but I earned my first pennies telling jokes in my granddad’s bar. I don’t remember much about it but I think everyone had a really good time there.

2. What are the types of things you’re passionate about?

New things! Fascinating people! Experiencing how ideas evolve. Two months ago I sold my first manuscript to a publisher, so I’m passionate about becoming a professional writer. And I’m passionate about all the cool stuff I like to write about: Interesting people and the interesting stories they have to tell.

3. What do you find most interesting about the One Week Job project?

That someone did it! ^__^

4. Why did you decide to donate toward the One Week Job film?

Because I think it is worth supporting. It inspired me, so I wanted to give something back.

5. What do you hope to see represented in the film?

Hmmm… difficult one. Honestly I don’t know. The film should add a new dimension to the project and add something that can’t be communicated through the website. Maybe I’m not the only one who would be interested in some background information about working life in the USA and Canada.
