Oftentimes an assistant producer someday hopes to become the executive producer. Sometimes, they enjoy the busy work of being the assistant and hope to hold that position for a while. The candidate should talk about their future aspirations and why at this moment they feel like being an assistant producer is a good move for him/her. The candidate may talk about the skills they will learn in the position to make them an even better worker in the future.

"I someday hope to be the EP of a production, but I feel that I still have some learning to do. In time that position will be right for me, but I want to soak up as much of being an assistant as I can to learn what it means to truly work with every sect of the production."
