[CAUT] Getting an Interview

[Don Mannino]

Hey Conrad,

That CD idea is kind of a good one - that would catch their attention!
Getting a recording of a recital one prepped for might be an interesting
way to let them know you are proud of your work, and want them to know
you can do quality work.

Don

Good advice, Don.

I haven't applied for a job in a loooong time, but I've seen many
applications for music department faculty and staff float through the
dept office.

The teaching faculty applications all come through with tapes(now CDs)
of performances. I'm wondering if current tech aps ever include
recordings of performances on pianos for which the applicant has done
preparations and tunings? Do they include before and after photos of
repairs/rebuildings?

Theoretically, my next applications (in a few years) will be for SS and
Medicare, so _I_ don't personally need the info, just curious.


Conrad
