Baldrick Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Alex, welcome to the Blue Room. Doing what, where, and what type of 'touring' events? Theatre, Rock and Roll or the Antiques Roadshow? Whatever it is, you can be pretty sure you'll have to start at the bottom and work up, which in the beginning will probably involve zero touring. So, more information please... B.

I think I understand - you worked as local crew on tours that come to Leeds - Ok. What skills have you got?Can you drive?Lights, Sound, instrument tech, staging?Age? Last thing is pretty vital - communication skills. What do you think you did/didn't do that makes people not give you a chance? You have to impress people to get jobs - maybe this is a problem area? Impress or annoy - sometimes a close thing. So let us have a bit of your CV - maybe we can work out where it's weak. I'm not going to mention the amazingly bad grammar and sp............. oops, I just did - nearly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
