Technician Seeking Work

Hello everyone, I am a theatre technician, LD, electrician and scenic carpenter. I have several years of professional experience working on shows in the United States. I'm looking for a full time entry level position in or around Brisbane (My girlfriend recently moved there) as an electrician or carpenter, although I am willing to work in another town if there are opportunities. I graduated university in 2007 with a degree in technical theatre. During university I worked casual labor for IATSE and as a freelance lighting designer and carpenter. I have been living in china the past year working in another industry. I am looking to get back into the performing arts industry and have been having trouble finding job sites and listing for the performing arts. Can someone either point me in the right direction or does anyone know of any job openings in either a theater or production company? I am also interested in paid internship opportunities. I am planning on arriving in Australia in late October but am able to arrive sooner if I have a job opportunity. I would really appreciate the help! Regards, Alex Owens

Is anyone actually a member

Is anyone actually a member of Stage Jobs pro? From what I recall of the site (this is a few years back), I was unimpressed with the range of roles available. I'm not a member, so if anyone is, please leave some feedback of the site... It's also owned and run by an English company - which suggests they may not have any staff in Australia (online company sometimes = staff somewhere else in the world... trust me, I know)... The fact they only seem to have their English address listed and an email form would suggest the same. I recommend signing up with Arts Hub instead - although their prices have risen and their quality/quantity of jobs has decreased (because you now have to pay to list an ad, this stops many of the lower budget/fringe/amateur groups from listing; on the other hand, there's still heaps of pro jobs listed) Finger puppets now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne
