Hello ! I'm facing a new situation for me about work, and I wanted to have feedbacks. I don't know if I rush in a wall or If it worth it.
My situation : International student for 2 years in a JP language school.
Context : I did an internship, originally organized by the city and I was selected after matching events by the company. Worked for a company as photographer/videographer.
I recently finished this internship, and it went well. After it, I sent a thanks mail to the boss, and he answered to thanks me again for my job, and invite me to a restaurant for a "deep discussion".
I was really excited and expected so many things (contract etc..) but during the night, he just talk about future missions, like:
"are you available at this date, and this date etc.. I imagine big things in the future, show this and create this visual content.."
So finally, it was a good night, (he paid everything) but nothing really serious just book other missions/shooting, without mentionning money or real contract.
I mean, If at the end there is something possible, I can spent a part of my time for this, but if it's just volunteering, I'm feel like the stupid naive guy. I just don't want to put myself in a situation I just working for free, and just for his benefit.
I'm curious about people who experienced something similar or others. I obviously know it's probably a weird situation, I'm just looking for advices.
Thank you!
