Weekly Blog 9 - Future Jobs

This week I applied for a job in the music and arts industry for the first time.

Earlier on this week I heard of an internship opportunity through a link on Facebook, and right away I knew that this was a good opportunity for me. The internship was for a Project Manager position at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans. It runs from August to December 2015. Conveniently for me, I live within walking distance from the Shenkman Centre, so this became all the more appealing to me.

I've been to the Shenkman Centre many times throughout my life, sometimes performing with my guitar teacher, and sometimes to see other people or bands perform. I really like this venue as it's a new building, and the theatres are nice as well.

I worked on my resume and cover letter throughout the week, editing them meticulously to cover all of the job requirements noted on the position ad. After making them exclusively specific to this job, I finally emailed in my application yesterday. As of now I'm hoping for the best, and if all goes well and I have a little bit of luck, I might just get my first job interview in this industry.
