∙ Paid

Welcome back to The Snack: the nearly‑edible version of your opportunities search, where we hand pick open calls, internships, events, jobs and freelance briefs that need to be filled ASAP…

LIKE WHAT, I HEAR YOU ASK?

There’s a reality TV apprenticeship, a cool F1 job and insights from a recruiter, a role with one of my fave publishers, an A&R gig with Defected Records and a £100k Creative Director spot. And, of course, funds, grants and open calls!

Before you dive in - please head to the chat and give us your two cents on the content you want to keep seeing here!

ONE MORE THING: we share a bunch of jobs, tips on how to reach out to people and call outs directly from employers. BUT we also ask our guest on the GATECRASHING series about their hiring strategies so don’t sleep on it!

If I were you, I’d follow everyone on the series and reach out/connect with the ones you’re keen of hearing more from. That way you also tap into their network. That’s sort of the point of that!

AND NOW…

you asked for a collab corner to find your people and so - WE DID IT!

Share your needs here!
