gnomatron Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi all, I'm currently looking to recruit a bunch of trainee crew (no experience necessary) for EUSA, the Edinburgh University Student's Association. We don't assume or require any experience at all, attitude is more important really, and we spend a lot of effort on training folk. It means we don't always have the best crew in the world, but it provides students and other young folk with a good practical way into the industry. I've already sent an email to Scot-Nits, a local email group, does anyone have any other ideas of where I can look for ready and willing young folk? Local student press and posters in the unions aside, of course! QMU's theatre course might be a good place to look but I don't have a contact for them, if anyone can furnish me with one that would be great. There's plenty on their website but it's hard to know who would be best to talk to! Obviously the Blue Room might be a help too! If you're a young person in or near edinburgh looking to get into the industry email me for more info; Brian.Hutchison@eusa.ed.ac.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Q Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 It may be the beginning of a downwards spiral, but have you tried making a group on Facebook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 We've got a pile of enquiries from people looking for work experience in the Edinburgh area. If you email me I'll dig them up and pass them over to you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsource Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 It may be the beginning of a downwards spiral, but have you tried making a group on Facebook? You'd be amazed at how many suitable candidates are on MySpace, you just need to add the right people to your profile, and then post some bulletins of your requirements. If you've done your part well, they'll flock like sheep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
