Voicebox: Kickstart your career

Brighton Fringe Festival is just around the corner, so we catch up with their Press Officer, Jess Weiss, to find out how you can get a job like hers. 

It's one thing to write a solid CV or cover letter, but another to make your job application stand out between those of other candidates with similarly good CVs. How do you convince your dream employer that you're the ultimate fit? How do you sell yourself well and get that job?

We hear from Genevieve Rudd, Youth Engagement Officer of Creative Collisions about how to run successful arts skills sharing workshops and what to do when it doesn't go to plan. 

If you want to focus on your practice but don't have the financial means to support yourself, there is a new funding programme for you.

Reviewing my one-week experience in the Archives at NT Studio

Aged 16 – 25 and interested in craft and making?

We’d like to invite you to help plan and deliver our next Young People’s workshop, which will be part of our Hey Clay! festival in a few weeks’ time. This is a great opportunity to build your experience and gain lots of transferable skills. It’s fantastic for CV building, and if anyone is working towards Arts Award the workshop can be used for arts leadership/arts skill share units in your portfolio.

Hey Clay! is our nationwide free festival of ceramics. Studios, art centres and galleries all open their doors for the weekend to run free, hands on clay workshops for the public throughout the UK. The festival runs from the 23rd to the 25th of March, and is part of the Get Creative festival.
