Hi all,
A quick little message to let everyone know that I have re-launched MusicIndustryJobs.com. Previously it had only one page of music business job and internship listings that required quite a bit of searching on your part. To reduce the workload a bit, I’ve broken down all the job postings into a few different categories that cover music jobs in film, touring, band management, record labels, music gigs, etc. I’ve also created search categories and done the preliminary job searching for you for every state in the US, and am currently working on expanding the search listings to Europe and Asia as well. We also have a separate internship category as well.
You can apply to most jobs directly from the site. . .usually there is a link, or an email address to send a resume.
It’s a pretty sweet tool that I hope you’ll mention to any of your friends who are interested in an entertainment career. We’ve also got an RSS feed with the daily “featured job” as well.
Good luck, and Happy Hunting!
Cheers,
Doc

Part One:
There’s one star in this video, but there are hundreds of music industry stars who make Pink LOOK like the only real star in the room. Which one are you? Take a look at this video, the song will always rock, but I also would suggest taking a look at it with a keen eye on the types of music jobs that exist within every element of the production.
Do you see ‘em? There are TONS of things going on here and TONS of jobs for those of you who are seeking a career in entertainment. As I mention in my book, music isn’t just about promotion, publicity and artist management. There are SO many opportunities in music its insane really. . .so please don’t limit yourself to the few that are the most apparent. I’ve listed out just a few of the music jobs I see in this video:
Grips
Riggers
Lights
Dance Coordinator
Sound
Production
Licensing
Promotion
Art Direction
Session/Touring Musicians
Acrobatic Training
Video Production
. . .and tons more. . .
Always keep a keen eye open when looking at movie and video credits. . .look at the job titles and think about what it is you might want to do as a result. If you’re a musician, look at what it takes to be a session musician, if you’re a designer and love music look at costume and stage design. The possibilities are endless, really.
Part Two: Okay, so I wanna’ get the party started here on the page as well. For some time now I’ve been blogging about what I think you want to hear, now I would love to hear what it is you want me to write about. I’ve got a lot of contacts and ideas to share, so fill me in. What do you want to know? What careers are you interested in? I’ll highlight the things you want to know about so everyone benefits. How about descriptions of what certain jobs are like. . .a “day in the life”,or something like that? Give me some feedback in the comments section and we’ll be off and running. (scroll to the bottom to see the comment form after you click on the link!)
This page will really start to hum if I can get some community feedback!
The Bribe: For those of you who submit AT LEAST three ideas, you’ll be eligible for a bit of a prize. Once we’ve tallied all the ideas, I’ll pick a winner at random, and offer a free half-hour consultation with me to ask anything you want about the music business! Ask anything you can dream of. . .but you’ve gotta’ submit AT LEAST three suggestions first! (scroll to the bottom to see the comment form after you click on the link!)
Good luck!!

A little off topic today, but I wanted to share a few links with everyone regarding the important election we’re facing this year. As most of my reading audience is in college or getting ready to go to university, I thought these few links might help courtesy of Lifehacker. They’re all non-partisan and should serve to help you if you’re undecided, or think you might be leaning a certain way, but aren’t sure as to why, or even if you’re correct. I particularly liked Select Smart’s “Compare the Candidates” link.
It’s interesting to note that even in tight-knit families political persuasions can run deep on completely different issues, so because your parents, brothers and sisters might believe in one way of looking at things, you may have a completely different viewpoint. My brother and I, whom I thought leaned the same way, were way different in the results this week when testing ourselves against the issues using Glass Booth. I suggest you give it a shot to see if the candidate your planning on voting for believes in what you do AFTER the election. Have fun, and please VOTE!
Not sure where you will be voting come November 4th? Try Google’s handy-dandy polling place map finder. Just enter in your zip code and you’ll be off and running. I would recommend calling the suggested place to make sure you don’t end up running around in circles though, when I typed in my address it pulled up a location that I probably could vote in, but didn’t I voted early and did so at my local library. Google’s tool suggests another place and several others didn’t know where I should vote. So, I’m recommending Google because of it’s ease of use and the fact that at least they gave me a location I could call. If that doesn’t work, you’re local board of election office will certainly do the trick.
Good luck!
