It’ll Look Good on Your Resume…

Some of you may have glanced at a tweet i posted several days ago and i couldn’t have been any more serious. Being in Canada has opened up a new market for me but no matter how much experience i have in the UK,  i am still the new kid on the block. As many of you know since i arrived in Canada i have indulged myself in local events and tried to get a feel for what Halifax had to offer and what i could offer Halifax.

With the new year approaching it is becoming more and more apparent that i need some backup, therefor i am looking for an apprentice(s). As you all know my visa restricts me from offering/taking a paid position so this would be purely voluntary but it does have its perks.. but first let me break down what i am looking for:

- Someone between 19-25 who is interested/experienced in the events industry.
- Lives in Halifax or is able to commute with ease.
- Is able to dedicate at least several hours a week to the projects.
- Holds a valid passport. (Some travelling maybe involved)
- Must have a Cell.

In the UK i have always had a right hand person. Someone i can discuss upcoming issues and who is willing to give an honest opinion on situations and predicaments. Someone to shadow, to learn and to grow. This is a great way to get some experience. It doesn’t matter how many degrees you have these days everyone is looking for how much ‘work experience’ you have. You will be able to oversee some new projects in Halifax and to join ongoing projects in the UK.

One thing i am happy to provide to anyone who fulfills this role is a gleaming reference of which i will happily provide you for as many times as you need it. Its also a fact i wont be a visitor to Canada forever and one day if your the right person a position may come available for you.

So if you want to be in the co-pilot seat for some new and ongoing events, work with local singers and musicians. To meet and greet those in the industry and to watch this unfold this maybe the perfect opportunity for you.

Are you interested? Please email me a little about yourself and include links to social network profiles and your cell number. If you have a resume at hand please attach it to the email. I look forward to hearing from you. (Deadline 31st December)
