Looking for work?

I'm going to repost this blog entry every now and then, so it catches the eye of newcomers and wannabe performers/techs. This is what I have been and will post on every 'work wanted' thread/post: Take a look at our FAQ section for an excellent article on how to get an agent and what to expect from them. Furthermore, please see this thread, which lists some excellent points on how to get started in this industry. Please see the following threads: http://www.theatre.asn.au/blog/frances_firth/working_for_you http://www.theatre.asn.au/blog/dave14/looking_for_experience_and_work http://www.theatre.asn.au/green_room_gossip/hallo_lovely_peoples_nathan_is_in_the_lounge_im_new http://www.theatre.asn.au/book_page/best_places_to_look_for_professional_theatre_auditions_and_tech_admin_work Additionally: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the links at the top of the page (companies, auditions, FAQs), before posting a "work wanted/how do I get into theatre" thread. There are lists and lists of companies, all over Australia, as well as auditions. The SEARCH function is the best way to find what you need to know, BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE. In the FAQ there is a post about finding an agent as well. The above link to the best places to look for pro work is in particular a good one for both techies and actors; it contains my list of links to hundreds of Aussie theatre-related sites, as well as sections clearly marked for job hunting. For newbies: PLEASE list your location, your age, and your level of experience, so we can offer more specific and relevant advice to you. The more info you give, the more we can help you. Additionally, nobody on this site can give you work. If they have roles available, they will be advertised here, or elsewhere. Big name directors and producers don't visit this site, and won't read your work wanted ad. So if you think by posting two sentences about how you want to get into the industry is going to work; it's not. Hard work, good research, time and effort will get you into the industry, so do yourself a favour and follow the above advice. ... Anyway, I'll re-post this again once it falls off the latest blog post list.
