I need a Job.....................

[Beetrootfultoyourself]

As some of yo know, I work in the theatre. Since leaving LOndon things have not been easy. My job does not exsist outside LOndon. I have done a few jobs up there but it does mean being away from the family for 8/10 weeks.

I trained as a Drama Teacher but have never taught. I am thinking that perhaps I need to start thinking about teaching. Even just doing some supply.

I need a job for my sanity.
I could do with the money.

I am not sure what else I coudl do.....and I am feeling rather shite and bored.

looks great sobernw, but looks like it is vulounteering. and I do that already

maternity leave April-Jan

Just catching up with this thread - it looks like things ar moving along.. just throwing some other ideas at you, beetroot and sobernow fwiw.

Two different friends of mine who worked in the theatre boost their income by doing corporate films, one day workshops and presentations.

I know my employer (big local council) sends lots of its staff on customer care skills/presentation skills/assertivenbess training/writing skills/events management type workshops. Each year every department has a fund for staff training and development and managers have to use it up, so there's always a demand for courses.

Could you try contacting some big public and private organisations to see what sort of courses they send their staff on, then see if you could create workshops that would fill their needs?

tigermoth, thank you for that. hVE TO GO OUT NOW, BUT WILL THINK ABOUT THAT....

I do see that in my field there is a bit more work going for those who beg and plead and trollop, Beety, utterly.

yes, I guess so MI

Well I have started phoning the local schools to do supply work. At least if a full time job comes up I will have had some experieince in schools

Infact I have rung the local county council and put myslef on the registar..well the forms are being sent....

sobernow, do CAT me if you want to pick my slightly foggy brains

there is a job at loxal college for a drama teacher for 10 hours a week....i need to get ths job as they dont come up very often. Would also mean i could do some theatre work around it.

Will be coming for advice on filling in application forms

what a shame sobernow. Let me know if there are any other places.
