18 year old Canberran looking for techie work
Thu, 26 Jan 2006, 05:01 pmHey all out there,
the name's Ben Harris.
I'm an 18 year old Canberran whoÂ’s finished Year 12, and hoping to get into CIT. Anyway, IÂ’m looking for some techie work to do in the Canberra reign (sound or lighting operator would be best suitable). I may have little experience in the filed (one school semesterÂ’s worth), but what i know, IÂ’m good at. So if anyone out there is looking for a hard working and totally dedicated theatre goer, or if you know where i can find some work, please, email me at talentedmrharris@hotmail.com
Also, not that I believe it should make any difference, it might be an idea to point out that I do have a minor physical disability, but again, this is nothing to worry about, and nothing that can get in the way of anything I do.

Thu, 26 Jan 2006, 08:31 pmHi Ben,
Try signing up for the ALIA (Australian Lighting Industry Association) forum, or getting some membership with them. Most big name companies and individuals in theatre lighting and sound are members, and the site provides great resources and networking opportunities. You can also post on their forum (registration required, but it is free), and say that you are seeking work.
Try calling up some local companies and volunteering for bump-ins/outs. Most companies need as many hands as they can get, and this is a perfect way to get your foot in the door, meet some like-minded people, and prove your skills. Most of the techie jobs are gained by word-of-mouth, so volunteering is a good way to start.
Also try attending some techie events (Entech Show, which travels around Australia every so often), and getting a rigging licence (getting a rigging, dogging or other sort of licence increases your chance at getting work, as well as providing a new skill, and you will get higher award rates). I'm not sure what kind of disability you have, so this piece of advice may or may not help you.
