"That's my job!" Employment Workshop
Published 23 November 2012
21 December 2012, 7-9pm at the LGF in Manchester. Getting a gig is never easy. But thinking about it as impossible all the time just makes things worse. The tougher things are in the job market the stronger and more positive and energetic we have to be to make it.
In this workshop we are going to kick our own butts into having a positive attitude and appreciating ourselves and our abilities so that we can shine. It’s never the people that are best for the job that get hired: it’s always the person that does best in the interview. So if it’s time for you to stop feeling terrible and not getting the gigs you want, give yourself a good kick and come share ideas about how to focus on the good things about yourself and up your chances of getting hired.
