If only we could all get paid to come to choir and sing – what a wonderful world that would be! If you are currently unemployed or not happy in your current job, we can help find you a job by connecting you with relevant employment services and organisations. Remember, choir is a great place to meet people and build your network, so you are already on the right track!
We can also help with job preparation including advice for interviews, advice for starting work, and advice on other aspects of life as a ‘job-seeker’. Also, coming to choir is a great way to network and find new opportunities – studies show that 80% of all jobs are filled through networking, and choir is a great, creative, positive network for you to engage with.
If you are employed, then perhaps you would like a promotion? Or you would like to know your rights as an employee? Or you would like to develop new skills or improve existing ones? If you want to change your career, then studying could be a great place to start.
Whatever your situation, we can help put you on the right path towards a greater life and wellbeing by connecting you with helpful, legitimate employment services and pathways.
